Safety Safety 2.1 Safety measures ● Only use genuine spare parts for maintenance or repair. ● Risk of burns due to hot surfaces on lines and components as well as due to escaping heating water. Let the product cool down to at least 30 °C before carrying out any repair and maintenance work.
Page 11
Safety 2.1.2 Pressure-related hazards ● Components can be under pressure. There is a risk of inju- ries and damage to property due to escaping water and un- expected movement of components. ● Before starting repair and maintenance work, make sure that all affected components are depressurised.
Safety 2.1.4 Groups of persons requiring protection ● This product is not designed to be used by persons (includ- ing children) with reduced capabilities, lack of experience or lack of knowledge. ● Children should be supervised to make sure that they do not play with the product.
Safety NOTE Inhibitors contained in the heating circuit ● If inhibitors were added to the heating water, these will be removed by the resin of the softening or mixed bed car- tridge. ► Carry out the filter operation only. ► Check the concentration of the inhibitor during softening and demineralisation operation.

Product description 3.3 Functional description The function of the desaliQ inline control module is based on the well-proven processes of filtration and softening or demineralisa- tion. The desaliQ inline control module is integrated into the filled heat- ing or cooling circuit in the partial flow. Part of the circulation wa- ter permanently flows through the desaliQ inline control module.
Page 18
In combination with the desaliQ inline filter module, undissolved impurities such as rust and dirt particles are filtered from the heat- ing water. Demineralisation In combination with the desaliQ resin bags, the heating water is fully demineralised. Softening In combination with the softening cartridge decaliQ, the heating water is softened according to the ion exchange principle.
