Any other or further use is considered as improper use and is a misuse of the product. The manufacturer is not
liable for any damage resulting from such misuse; the risk of such damage is borne solely by the operator. The
operational safety of the product is only guaranteed if it is used for its intended purpose. Hazards may occur if
the product is used contrary to its intended purpose.

2.7 Risks

The biolite® ensures fully automatic disinfection of the water. However, there is a risk that the disinfection perfor-
mance will be lower if turbid water or water loaded with dirt particles is to be disinfected. In addition, introduced
contaminants can infl uence the radiation intensity if they are deposited in front of the light source. Depending on
the water quality and the temperature of the water before the biolite® (e.g. in the fresh water tank or in the pipe
system) as well as in the pipes after the biolite®, a germination/re-germination of the water can also occur.

2.7.1 Risk reduction in general

The water to be disinfected must not exceed a turbidity value of 1 NTU. This can be achieved with a fi ltration
before the biolite®. In the chapter Cleaning (p.55) you will fi nd the recommended cleaning intervals.

2.7.2 Risk reduction in fresh water systems

In order to exclude these risks, we recommend a pre-fi ltration (1) of the water (e.g. when fi lling the tank) with
a fi lter fi neness of e.g. 1 micron as well as a preservation (2) of the water, which extends over the entire fresh
water system. A system cleaning/disinfection taking place at least annually completes the hygienic operation
excellently. Image 1 shows a practical example of how the fresh water system with built-in biolite® (3) can be
operated hygienically in its entirety (see also chapter Cleaning p.55)).

2.7.3 Warning and disturbance signals

The biolite® emits various warnings and error messages, both visually and acoustically. For signals from the
lamp and alarm indicator, see chapter Signal messages (p.53).
