4.3 Freshwater supply
Connect the wastewater pipe before connecting the unit to a freshwater pipe or filling the
freshwater can (option, chap. 15.9).
You can supply the unit with freshwater via a water pipe or by manually filling a freshwater can (option,
chap. 15.9).
Water intake temperature NOT below +5 °C / 41 °F and not exceeding 40 °C / 104 °F.
CAUTION
Calcification of the humidifying system.
Damage to the unit.

Operate the unit with deionized (demineralized) water only.
Types of suitable water quality:
•
Deionized water from a water treatment installation already existing at the customer's site. Conductivi-
ty from 1 µS/cm up to a maximum of 20 µS/cm. (Water, which is in equilibrium with the CO
2
in the air,
and has a conductivity below 1 µS/cm (ultrapure water), may cause acid corrosion due to its low pH.)
• Water treated by the optional water treatment system BINDER Pure Aqua Service (disposable sys-
tem). A reusable measuring equipment to assess the water quality is included (chap. 15.10).
BINDER GmbH is NOT responsible for the water quality at the user’s site.
Any problems and malfunctions that might arise following use of water of deviating quality is
excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH.
The warranty becomes void in the event of use of water of deviating quality.
4.3.1 Automatic freshwater supply via water pipe
An enclosure inside the unit contains the connection kit for freshwater and wastewater. Install the fresh-
water connection using either the enclosed water hose or another pressure-resistant one. To accomplish
this, remove the cover of the freshwater connection “IN” (18) on the rear of the unit. Protect both ends of
the hose with two of the four supplied hose clamps.
Before turning on the unit, check the connection for leaks. Water supply is automatically effected via the
freshwater connection “IN” (18).
As the appliance only lets in water when required, there is no continuous water flow.
• Supply pressure 1 to 10 bar / 14.5 to 145 PSI when connecting to a water pipe
• Water type: deionized (demineralized) water
• Water intake temperature NOT below +5 °C / 41 °F and not exceeding 40 °C / 104 °F.
• The water intake should be provided with a shut-off slide or water-tap.
• For the water supply, fix the delivered adapter with hose olive on the thread at the rear of
the chamber.
• Protect the water supply at one side with the supplied hose clamp.
