Filling the heating system
Fill water
According to EN 1717 with DIN 1988-100, as a heat
transfer medium for DHW heating, the heating water
must meet fluid category ≤ 3. This requirement is met if
water of potable quality is used as heating water. For
example, if additives are used, the additive manufac-
turer must specify which category the treated heating
water comes under.

1. Check the pre-charge pressure of the diaphragm
expansion vessel.
If the pre-charge pressure is lower than the static
system pressure, top up with nitrogen. The pre-
charge pressure must be 0.1 to 0.2 bar (0.01 to
0.02 MPa) higher. If the pre-charge pressure is too
high, adjust it accordingly.

Please note
Unsuitable fill water increases the level of
deposits and corrosion and may lead to appli-
ance damage.
■
Flush the heating system thoroughly before
filling.
Only use fill water of potable water quality.
■
Special antifreeze suitable for heating systems
■
can be added to the fill water. The antifreeze
manufacturer must verify its suitability.
■
Fill and top-up water with a water hardness in
excess of the following values must be soft-
ened, e.g. with a small softening system for
heating water.

2. Open the non-return valves.
3. Fill the heating system with water and vent the sys-
tem. The charge pressure must be 0.1 to 0.2 bar
(0.01 to 0.02 MPa) higher than the pre-charge
pressure of the diaphragm expansion vessel.
Permissible operating pressure: 3 bar (0.3 MPa)
Test pressure: 4 bar (0.4 MPa)
4. Mark the charge pressure at pressure gauge
5. Return the non-return valves to their operating
position.
