2.4.2
Specific information
► Only cold water of drinking water quality may be used to supply the system.
en
► When supplying with softened water, only use filters for drinking water with > 4° dH total hard-
ness.
► Store components in a dry location.
► The system must not come into contact with chemicals, solvents, or any fumes.
► Before the filter system is put into operation, the consumer unit supplied must be free from limes-
cale.
► No copper pipes or galvanized / nickel-plated pipes or connecting parts may be installed between
the filter system and the consumer unit.
► The filter cartridge must not be opened or mechanically damaged.
► Water that is already microbiologically contaminated or of unknown microbiological quality may
not be used under any circumstances without sufficient disinfection before or after the filter.
► The filter head and the wall bracket must be replaced after 5 years of use / at the latest 6 years
after the production date. This also applies to hoses and seals. Pay attention to the date of the
production stamp.
► All components must be installed in accordance with country-specific guidelines. DIN 1988 must
be observed for the assembly and operation of the system.
► If the system pressure is greater than 8 bar, a pressure reducer must be installed upstream of the
filter system.
► The sensor unit must not be exposed to any mechanical loads. Pay particular attention to the
lever effect of hoses and bend radii. If necessary, provide support for supply lines!
► Only use commercially available AA batteries (2 x) for the sensor unit.
► Ensure that the battery cover of the sensor unit is properly closed. Otherwise, foreign objects or
moisture could penetrate.

General description
With the POWER steamer water softener, the carbonate hardness of the water for the POWER steamer 2
is reduced in the flow process using ion-selective filter media. The reduction of hardness can be adapted
to the quality of the local drinking water via the blending unit in the filter head.
In addition, the filter material binds heavy metal ions such as copper and cadmium.
The integrated activated carbon block reduces unwanted turbidity, organic impurities, aromas, and flavor-
ings as well as chlorine residue in the filtrate and in the blended water.
