WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS

The pump water supply is not to have hardness levels greater than 170 ppm CaCO 3. If the water does not meet this specification, a water softening unit is to be installed.
Please note: the hardness level must not drop lower than 90 ppm CaCO3.
The minimum water conductivity value should not drop further than 300μS/cm.

IMPORTANT: It shall be the responsibility of the customer to provide proper safety and regulatory compliance for the entire installation and operation.

  • Proper floor to carry the load.
  • Proper, safe, and regulation compliant: workspace, power supply, air supply, water supply with drainage etc.
