Water quality requirements

Note
Observing the following requirements is
necessary to safeguard your warranty
rights.
Prevention of damage due to scaling
Prevent excessive scale build-up (calcium carbonate) on the heating surfaces. For
heating systems with operating temperatures up to 100 °C, VDI guideline 2035 sheet
1 "Prevention of heating system damage – scaling in DHW and hot water heating
systems" applies [in Germany], together with the following standard values (see also
the full explanations in the original guideline).
Total heating output
kW
≤ 50
> 50 to ≤ 200
> 200 to ≤ 600
≤ 600
The standard values assume the follow-
ing:
■ The total volume of fill and top-up
water will not exceed three times the
water content of the heating system
during its service life.
■ The specific system volume is less
than 20 l/kW heating output. In multi
boiler systems, apply the output of the
smallest boiler.
■ All measures to prevent corrosion on
the water side in accordance with
VDI 2035 sheet 2 have been imple-
mented.
24
The warranty excludes damage due to
corrosion and scaling.
Total alkaline earths
3
mol/m
≤ 3.0
≤ 2.0
≤ 1.5
< 0.02
Soften the fill and top-up water in heating
systems operating under the following
conditions:
■ The total of alkaline earths in the fill
and top-up water exceeds the stand-
ard value.
■ Higher fill and top-up water volumes
are expected.
■ The specific system volume is higher
than 20 l/kW heating output. In multi
boiler systems, apply the output of the
smallest boiler.
Total hardness
°dH
≤ 16.8
≤ 11.2
≤ 8.4
< 0.11
