Excerpt from the Federal Health Office:

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

What does that mean?

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

This means that the devices in the Maxima series meet the technical specifications, but were not presented by the manufacturer for certification by the DVGW. This is only the case with devices in the Spektron series . These are DVGW certified.

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

Excerpt from the Federal Health Office:

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

We therefore recommend flushing the pipes with our Baxero to ensure that the pipes are germ-free. This rinse can be repeated annually if necessary.
