3.2.3 Antiscalant
The drinking water for the metering solution is taken from the sampling tap for drinking
water (1/4.21).
The antiscalant metering quantity can be set with a very good approximation using the following
table. The optimum quantity can only be calculated using a calculation program after a precise
water analysis has been carried out. The typical metering range lies between 2 and 5 mg/l.
Where water hardnesses are higher than 28°dH, special design is necessary.
If this design is not possible, the following setting is recommended: 5 mg/l RM5000 and 50%
yield, until the precise design is available.
