It is not permitted to use the fresh water station if the limit values are exceeded.
To prevent pitting corrosion in the domestic installation, no new galvanised iron material must
be installed downstream in the hot water pipe of the copper-soldered plate heat exchanger
without forming a protective layer.
Solid stainless steel plate heat exchangers must be used in mixed installations with zinc-
coated iron materials.
