13. Proper Use of the Equipment

This system feeds water under high pressure
to downstream high-pressure cleaning de-
vices. As required, cleaning agent is drawn in
and mixed with the water.
Fixed installation of the system is in a dry
room protected from sub-zero temperatures.
An on-site installation may be no warmer than
40 °C. Distribution of the water under high
pressure takes place via a fixed-installation
pipes.
Only clean water may be used as a high-
pressure medium. Water contamination of
any kind would cause premature compo-
nent wear or lead to deposits within the sy-
stem.
Requirements in water quality:
pH value
electrical conductibility
settling solids
filtering solids
(particle size under 0.025 mm)
hydrocarbons
chloride
calcium
total hardness
iron
manganese
copper
free of bad smells
* test volume 1l / settling time 30 minutes
** at higher values, decalcifying measures are
necessary
