Le distributeur dispense-t-il d’analyser l’eau?
Non. Vérifiez régulièrement le désinfectant et le pH, puis ajustez le réglage selon les résultats et la fréquentation. Une distribution réglable ne garantit pas à elle seule un niveau constant.
Quelle différence entre montage en ligne et hors ligne?
Un modèle en ligne s’intègre à la conduite prévue; un modèle hors ligne utilise des raccordements de dérivation. Vérifiez la configuration du produit et les accessoires requis.
Comment effectuer l’entretien ou le remplissage?
Respectez strictement le manuel, notamment l’arrêt, l’isolement et l’ouverture du distributeur. Les procédures diffèrent selon qu’il s’agit d’un appareil raccordé ou d’un distributeur flottant.
