Hey,
I had the initial consultation with the plumbing company today.
They offered to upgrade the included "DIN-DVGW certified water filter" to a backwash filter for 120€ (probably net).
Is this recommended? Is the standard filter sufficient? With the backwash filter, it seems the filter replacement, which is normally required at intervals with the standard one, would no longer be necessary.
They also offered to improve something in connection with the heat pump. I can’t quite remember what it was. Maybe someone knows what this could be about—something like self-filling and turning two knobs... and it’s supposed to be very simple, but if the service team comes and takes a sample and detects contamination, then the service becomes more difficult... if I remembered that correctly...
Thanks for any feedback!

You don’t need the Purotap. It is basically just a VE cartridge. So, if you ever wanted to change the water in the heating system (which you should definitely avoid), then you would need it.
But since the installer of your system is obligated to hand over a defect-free system and to fix any leaks if necessary, this part is basically an unnecessary extra.

Do you have a picture of how something like that looks in your setup?

What exactly does this device do? I remember the plumber saying that if there’s a defect or something similar, the water gets tested or analyzed, and possibly the manufacturer might refuse warranty coverage if any negative results come up. At least, that’s how I recall it.
Or is it just an extra service offered by the plumber?
Thanks!

This device is a water softener. It softens the water so it can be used in the heating system. Hard water in underfloor heating can cause damage. However, a properly installed system must use soft water anyway, which the plumber is responsible for ensuring. If the system needs to be refilled, the plumber should come with the necessary equipment and desalinate the water on site.
So yes, it is an extra task for them and for you, it provides an option to refill yourself. But ideally, you should not do this on your own, at least not during the initial period while the warranty is still valid.
