3.5 Technical Safety Assembly Instructions
The terminal equipment operated with the fi lter must be free of limescale prior to installation.•
Protect the fi lter system from sunlight and mechanical damage. Do not assemble near sources •
of heat and open fl ames.
A stop valve must be installed before the fi lter system intake hose.•
If the water pressure is higher than 8.6 bar (125 psi), a pressure reducer must be installed in •
front of the fi lter system.
The fi lter head may be connected to the mains only with a non-return valve according to •
EN 13959 or higher quality protection against return fl ows (see Chapter 10).
No copper pipes and no galvanized or nickel-plated pipes/connectors may be installed between •
the water fi lter and consumer. When choosing the material for parts that come into contact with
water after the MAVEA fi lter system it must be remembered that, due to the process, decar-
bonized water contains free carbon dioxide.
All parts must be installed in accordance with the country-specifi c requirements on the installa-•
tion of drinking water facilities.
