Extract from the Federal Health Office:

Only type-tested systems should be used in drinking water applications. In addition, a sensor should indicate the irradiance.

What does this mean?

These requirements are ensured, for example, by certification by the DVGW.

This means that although the devices in the Maxima series meet the technical requirements, the manufacturer has not submitted them for certification by the DVGW. This is only the case with the devices in the Spektron series . These are therefore DVGW-certified.

If you would like to use a system from the Maxima series , you must first check with your responsible authority (health authority) whether the use of such a device is recognized.

Extract from the Federal Health Office:

UV radiation does not disinfect the distribution system (water pipes). If there is contamination in the pipe network or the house installation, disinfection must be carried out with chlorine.

We therefore recommend flushing the pipes with our Baxero to ensure that the pipes are free of germs. This flush can be repeated annually if necessary.
