WHICH WATER TO USE IN THE
BOILER
This appliance has been designed to function
with medium-hardness tap water between
8°f and 20°f. If the tap water is very hard,
do not just use demineralised water but a
mix composed of 50% tap water and 50%
demineralised water which is widely available
to purchase.
Warning: check the hardness of the water at
the technical office at your local council or
the local water supplier.
If you only use tap water, you can reduce the
formation of limescale by using the special
Kalstop (PAEU0094) anti-limescale product,
distributed by Polti, and available for sale at
all major domestic-appliance stores or online
at www.polti.com.
