11 Information For The End-user

11.1 General Product Information
PROGUARD Coffee is a non-electric system that combines several water treatment technologies. It
is designed for the desalination of potable water and its subsequent mineralisation for the production
of water of high sensory quality. The water thus produced is intended to be used as feed water for
coffee, espresso and hot drinks machines only. The targeted mineralisation allows the aroma of hot
drinks to fully develop. Depending on the local water conditions, the level of mineralisation can be
customised to various degrees, resulting in rather low, medium or highly mineralized water. All min-
eralisation degrees have a different effect on the taste of coffee.
Level of mineralisation
Low
Medium
High
The previously performed desalination protects the hot drinks machine from particles, limescale,
gypsum and corrosion.

parts (e.g., non-electric pump) is in accordance with the local regulations.
