Water quality

Water quality can have an impact on appliance longevity. Water
supplied to the Greentherm T9800 SEO must be in accordance
with table 8 and fig. 12.
For water analysis data call your local water department, or if on
a well, have well water analyzed periodically. Heavy scale will
form if the combination of water total hardness and pH exceeds
the values specified in fig. 12 (grey area), Bosch recommends
consulting a local water treatment professional for water
softening/conditioning options.
