3 Product description
3.1 Intended use
●The dosing system is designed for flow-dependent dosing of exaliQ mineral-based
solution into the drinking and service water pipes of 1 –10 family buildings.
●Dosing with exaliQ mineral-based solutions is mainly used to form a protective layer
and to prevent corrosion damage to the inside of the pipe.
●In addition, the precipitation of lime can be prevented.
●The different exaliQ mineral-based solutions can be used for hardness stabilisation,
pH value increase of drinking water and corrosion protection of pipes as well as for the
renovation of old pipes (with rust-brown water).
●The dosing system exaliQ:K6-e and SC6-e can be used in combination with a
softening system softliQ:SD (from softliQ:SD21) or softliQ:MD.
3.2 Foreseeable misuse
●Dosing with chemicals other than exaliQ mineral-based solutions is not approved
by Grünbeck Wasseraufbereitung GmbH and will lead to loss of warranty claims.
●Use in commercial and industrial buildings with high flow rates and/or removals of
water. (Use of a GENODOS DME required.)
●Use of the mineral-based solution exaliQ neutra in combination with exaliQ:KC6-e
and exaliQ:SC6-e.

3.4 Functional description
A contact water meter with pulse generator records the volume of drinking water that has
flowed through and sends pulses to the control unit depending on the quantity. The pulses
are processed in the control unit. The control unit sends pulses to a step motor which drives
the pump unit.
The mineral-based solution is sucked in and fed to a dosing point via a hose connection.
The backflow of drinking water into the hose line is prevented by a non-return valve located
in the dosing point.

The dosing system can be mounted directly on the water meter (with the attachment and the
spacer) or separately with the attachment on the wall (without the spacer).
3.4.2 Versions
The dosing unit can be equipped with 3 different containers for mineral-based solutions.

lance required for exaliQ:SCxx)
3.4.3 Illuminated LED ring
The illuminated LED ring is used as a visual signal in water treatment, pre-empty signal,
empty signal and fault.
3.4.4 LED buttons
The LED buttons inform the user about the current operating state of the exaliQ.
3.4.5 USB interface
The data stored during the last 12 months can be read out via an integrated USB interface.
3.4.6 Wi-Fi access point
The Wi-Fi access point can be used to establish a connection to the Grünbeck mySettings

safe.
exaliQ pure
Hardness stabilization
Galvanized pipes and
copper materials/brass
For circulation water in solar systems or installation of dosing technology in the cold water inlet to the
decentralised water heater. For high temperatures up to 80 °C and/or hard water > 21 °dH total hardness
(> 15 °dH carbonate hardness).

GmbH recommended before first use.
exaliQ neutra
Increase of pH value
Galvanized pipes and
copper materials/brass
For corrosion protection in soft water with high carbon dioxide concentration, even after water softeners.
Corrosion protection by binding free carbon dioxide and raising the pH value.
Note: The dosing agent exaliQ neutra is only allowed to be used with a "stand-alone exaliQ dosing system".
Consultation by Grünbeck Wasseraufbereitung GmbH recommended before first use.
The shelf life of the mineral substances is 2 years following the filling date (protected
against cold and light).
●After the container is opened, it is recommended that the content should be used
up within 6 months –and within 12 months at most.
If the mineral-based solution is changed to another agent, the dosing system must be
flushed (see "Changing mineral-based solution" 7.6 on page 48).
