1.2 Important technical warnings and guidelines
The STREBEL Domestic Hot Water systems will, for a long period, comfortably meet your requirement of hot
water of the right temperature at the right hour, provided that a few important conditions have been fulfilled
regarding the installation.
Please follow all instructions and recommendations presented in this manual by STREBEL, especially the
ones concerning the next important topics:
- Water quality (see also “S-WG Wall hung” manual)
A first necessary condition is the quality of the water to be heated in the water heater. Three values matter:
hardness, total amount of dissolved solids and acidity. If water quality does NOT meet the requirements
the system may be seriously damaged in time.
♦Hardness should not exceed 205 PPM CaCO3(11.5°dH)
♦TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) may not exceed 450 ppm
♦Hardness and TDS together may not exceed 450 PPM
♦pH-value should be between 6.5 and 7.5, measured cold
The actual values can be retrieved at your local water supplier.
If water quality doesn’t meet the abovementioned requirements, a water treatment installation should be
installed to improve water quality to the required levels, if possible.
Following the instructions and recommendations given in the referred paragraphs will highly improve the func-
tioning and considerably lengthen the life time of your STREBEL DHW system.
Furthermore, for all S-WG appliances the next instructions and recommendations apply:
!Only use stainless steel or PP flue gas outlet
(Never use aluminum or aluminum containing flue gas outlet)
!Always fill the siphon before commissioning the water heater
!Always set the gas valves during commissioning the water heater, for the first time and after
maintenance and/or installation changes
!Never change the parameters P4AD, P4AAand P5BI
!Never place a valve between the safety valve and the water heater
!In a log, keep track of all situations regarding the appliance:
what, when, by whom, what actions and/or changes, what communication has been performed
