Starting Operation
Before starting operation:
• Make sure that the equipment is connected to
the untreated water source and the respective
transporting gear, e. g., admission-pressure
unit.
• Ensure the unrestricted flow of the drinking water
into a tank or a suitable device on the user side.
The drinking water must be able to run
off without counterpressure. The height
difference must not exceed 3 m.
