Use in hard water areas:
Normally there is no need for water treatment to
prevent scale formation as the maximum
temperature of the heat exchanger is limited by
the control circuit.
In areas where the temporary water hardness
exceeds 200ppm, consideration may need to
be given to the fitting of a scale prevention
device. In such circumstances, the advice of
the local water authority should be sought.
