According to the applicable regula-

used on the drinking water supply
without a system separator. Use a
suitable system separator manufactured by
KÄRCHER; or, as an alternative, a system
separator as per EN 12729 Type BA.
Water flowing through a system separator
is considered non-drinkable.
CAUTION
Always connect the system separator to the
water supply, never directly to the appliance!
ATTENTION
Impurities in the water can damage the
high-pressure pump and the accessories.
For protection, the use of the KÄRCHER
water filter (optional accessory, order no.
