Water Characteristics
The characteristics of the water used to fill the
system are very important to prevent the build-up
of mineral salts and the formation of incrustations
along the pipes, in the thermostove and in the heat
exchangers. Therefore, please get your plumber's
advice concering:
• Hardness of water circulating in the system, to
prevent problems of incrustation and limescale,
especially in the domestic water heat exchanger
(>15° French).
Pellet
The pellets are cylinders of compressed wood, produced from sawdust and wood processing (chips and
sawdust), generally produced by sawmills and carpenters. The binding capacity of the lignin contained
in wood, allows to obtain a compact product without adding additives and foreign chemicals to the
wood, is therefore obtained a natural fuel with high yield.
The use of expired pellets or any other unsuitable material can damage parts of the
thermostove and impair proper operation: this can lead to the termination of the
guarantee, and its producer responsibility.
For our products use pellets diameter 6 mm, length 30 mm
and a maximum of 6% and A1 certified according to the UNI
EN ISO 17225-2 standard. Keep the pellets away from heat
sources and not in humid environments or with explosive
atmosphere.

• Installation of a water softener (if water hardness
> 15° French).

Filling
the
system
(demineralised).
If you have very extensive system, with a large
amount of water, or which require frequent refilling,
it is recommended the installation of water softening
system. It 'should be noted that the encrustations
drastically reduce performance because of their low
thermal conductivity.
