Safety 2.1.2 Pressure-related hazards ● Components can be under pressure. There is a risk of injuries and damage to property due to escaping water and unexpected movement of components. Check the system’s pressure lines for leaks at regular intervals. ● Before starting repair and maintenance work, make sure that all affected components are depressurised.
Page 11
Safety Mixing and residual amounts of chemicals ● Do not mix different chemicals. Unforeseeable chemical reactions posing a lethal danger can occur. ● Dispose of residual amounts of chemicals in accordance with local regulations and/or in-house instructions. ● Residual amounts from used containers should not be transferred into containers with fresh chemicals in order not to impair the effectiveness of the chemicals.
Safety Product-specific safety instructions 2.2.1 Safety devices CAUTION Operation without safety device ● Without a safety device, the UV disinfection system cannot be operated according to the German Drinking Water Ordinance. ● There is a risk that water which is not or insufficiently disinfected might enter the installation downstream of the UV disinfection system.

Troubleshooting 9.2.2 Mechanical destruction of the lamp and the protective quartz pipe Water contaminated with mercury in the UV system due to defective WARNING protective quartz pipe and defective UV lamp ● Health risk ► Collect the contaminated water in a container and store it in an air-tight manner until the water can be disposed of.
Decommissioning Decommissioning It is not necessary to take your product out of operation. In case of longer absences, e.g. holidays, precautionary hygiene measures according to VDI 3810-2 and VDI 6023-2 must be taken in order to maintain drinking water hygiene after downtimes.
Dismantling and disposal Dismantling and disposal 11.1 Dismantling The work described herein represents an intervention into your drinking water system. ► Have this work carried out by qualified specialists only. 1. De-energise the system (discharge possible residual voltage). 2. Close the shut-off valves upstream and downstream of the system. 3.
Page 54
Dismantling and disposal ► Contact a suitable waste management company such as a collecting point for problem substances. Never and under no circumstances discharge residues of mercury and its compounds to the sink/floor drain or drain connection – formation of amalgam in the lead siphon and environmental poisoning.
