2 Safety
2.1 Safety measures
●Only operate your product if all components are installed properly.
●Obey the local regulations on drinking water protection, accident prevention and
occupational safety.
●Do not make any changes, alterations, extensions or program changes on your
product.
●Only use genuine spare parts for maintenance or repair.
●Keep the premises locked against unauthorised access to protect imperilled or
untrained persons from residual risks.
●Comply with the maintenance intervals (refer to chapter 8.2). Failure to comply can
result in the microbiological contamination of your drinking water system.
2.1.1 Mechanical hazards
●You must never remove, bridge, or otherwise tamper with safety equipment.
●For all work on the system that cannot be carried out from the ground, use stable,
safe and self-standing access aids (e.g. stepladders).
2.1.2 Pressure-related hazards
●Components can be under pressure. There is a risk of injuries and damage to
property due to escaping water and unexpected movement of components. Check
the system’s pressure lines at regular intervals.
●Before starting any repair and maintenance work, make sure that all affected
components are depressurised.
2.1.3 Electrical hazards
There is an immediate danger of fatal injury from electric shock when touching live parts.
Damage to the insulation or individual components can be lethal.
●Only have qualified electricians carry out electrical work on the product.
●In case of damage to live components, switch off the voltage supply immediately
and arrange for repair.
●Switch off the supply voltage before working on electrical components. Discharge
residual voltage.
●Never bridge electrical fuses. Do not disable fuses. Use the correct current ratings
when replacing fuses.
●Keep moisture away from live parts. Moisture can cause short-circuits.

3 Product description
3.1 Intended use
●The hygiene system safeliQ:EB must only and exclusively be used for the
reduction of germs in microbiologically contaminated, cold drinking water.
●The hygiene system safeliQ:EB features a hygiene unit to reduce micro-organisms.
The retention rate for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli is 99.99 %.
●The hygiene system safeliQ:EB is suitable for the supply of hygienically treated
water in installations with a nominal flow of up to 3.0 m³/h. Apart from single and
multi-family households of max. 5 persons, this also includes kindergartens and
commercial properties.
●The hygiene system safeliQ:EB is designed for the prophylactic hygiene treatment
of drinking water if microbiological contamination occurs.
●The service life of the hygiene elements is 250 m³ or 2 years, whichever comes
first. After the service life has expired, the hygiene elements must be replaced by
technical service personnel. In case of higher water demands or continuous flows,
we recommend using modular safeliQ systems.
3.1.1 Foreseeable misuse
●The safeliQ hygiene system must not be operated with water originating from
private water supply systems.

Salt supply indicator
Once per disinfection process, a light sensor checks the filling level of the salt tablets. If the
filling level is below the minimum, the control unit outputs a warning message. The control
unit calculates how many days the salt supply is expected to last and indicates this value in
days.
Illuminated LED ring
The illuminated LED ring is designed as a visual signal during water treatment, operation
and in case of a malfunction. In the standard setting, the illuminated LED ring behaves as
follows:

Product description
12 | 56
BA_100223420000_en_064_safeliQ-EB.docx
●Lights up during water treatment
●Lights up during operation of the control unit
●Intermittent flashing in case malfunctions do occur
●Intermittent flashing in case of pre-alarm salt supply
The illuminated LED ring can be set to continuous illumination or be deactivated completely.
Water sensor
The water sensor detects water at the installation site of the safeliQ, reports this via the
control unit of the safeliQ or via Grünbeck’s myProduct app and triggers an audio signal (if
activated).
Drain connection
The DN 50 drain connection with siphon is used for professional installation in accordance
with DIN EN 1717.
3.3 Functional description
3.3.1 Process
By way of electrostatic interaction, the hygiene unit fixes micro-organisms (e.g. bacteria) on
the hygiene membrane. When flowing through the hygiene membrane, the micro-organisms
are physically removed from the water. The fixed micro-organisms are inactivated by
disinfection at regular intervals.
3.3.2 Function
The time for the system disinfection is scheduled in a time period where usually little water is
consumed. Alternatively, the time of disinfection can be set at a fixed time or flexibly per day
of the week.
For hygienic reasons, the safeliQ system initiates a disinfection process every three days.
3.4 Permissible regenerant
safeliQ hygiene systems must only be operated with the regenerant below:
●Salt tablets according to DIN EN 973 type A
3.5 Product registration
Registering your product extends your warranty by 1 year.

5.1 Requirements for the installation site
●Obey the local installation directives, general guidelines and technical
specifications.
●The functionality of the system is guaranteed when using drinking water as per
German Drinking Water Ordinance (TrinkwV). Increased turbidity, within the limit
values, can lead to an increased pressure loss and reduce the service life of the
hygiene elements.
●The installation site must be frost-proof and protect the product from direct sunlight,
chemicals, dyes, solvents and their vapours.
●A drinking water filter and, if required, a pressure reducer (e.g. fine filter
pureliQ:KD) must be installed upstream of the product.

Installation
18 | 56
BA_100223420000_en_064_safeliQ-EB.docx
●For electrical connection, a Schuko socket is required within a distance of approx.
1.2 m. The socket outlet requires permanent power supply and must not be
coupled with light switches, emergency heating switches or the like.
●A drain connection (DN 50) must be available to discharge the disinfection water.
●A floor drain suitable for the respective system size must be available at the
installation site. Otherwise, a safety device such as a protectliQ (refer to chapter
3.6), or a safety device with water stop of the same quality must be installed. Floor
drains that discharge to a lifting system do not work in case of a power failure.
●Make sure that lifting systems are resistant to salt water or use our delivery pump
for regeneration water (refer to chapter 3.6).
●The connection block features a non-return valve on the inlet side. Safety relief
valves must be installed in flow direction downstream of the safeliQ.
●A water withdrawal point must be available near the product.
●In case of water pipes made of copper and/or galvanised steel, we recommend
dosing exaliQ mineral solutions for corrosion protection (refer to chapter 3.4).

5.3 Installing the product
WARNING
Contaminated drinking water due to stagnation
●Infectious diseases
►Do not connect the product to the drinking water system until immediately
before start-up/commissioning.
►Only carry out the leak test during start-up/commissioning.
Do not install the connection block until immediately before start-up/commissioning or
bypass it with a hose. There is no overflow valve in the connection block, therefore no
water can flow without a connected system.
5.3.1 Installing the connection block
The connection block can be installed horizontally or vertically.
►Always use the connection block supplied with the product.
1. Install the water meter screw connection in the pipe.
2. Check the flow direction.
3. Respect the flow direction on the connection block (indicated by an arrow).
4. Make sure that the strainer insert is inserted on the inlet side.
5. Mount the connection block by tightening the union nuts without mechanical stress.
» The connection block is installed.

5.3.2 Installing the connection hoses
1. Loosen both screws on the side of the upper part of the housing for the technical
equipment.
2. Remove the upper part of the housing for the technical equipment.
3. Respect the flow direction indicated by arrows on the connection block and on the
control valve.
4. Install the connection hoses using suitable tools.
» The connection hoses are installed.
