• An intercept tap;
• Asupplementaryfiltertotheonealreadyinthesolenoidvalve;
• A pressure reducer (if the pressure of the mains water exceeds 1 MPa (10 bar)).
N.B.:Ifapressurereducerisused,makesureitiseffectiveanddoesnotcauseadrasticreductioninpressurewhenthemains
pressure is very low.
MALFUNCTIONING OF THE EQUIPMENT
• The feed water must have a minimum pressure of 0.2 MPa (2 bar).
• Connect the solenoid valve to the mains using the flexible hose supplied to reduce water hammers in the hose to the
