ᐅ Backflow Filter / Optional Heat Pump Add-on

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 are right, it is more comparable to a reverse osmosis system. However, that does not change the fact that it is unnecessary.

All right, thank you all. So it will not be installed.

Make sure he fills in the correct water, otherwise in 10 years you’ll have a biotope in your underfloor heating system and will need to have it flushed.

Thank you. What is the correct water to use, and how can I identify it?

They should come up with something like this and let the heating water run over it while filling:
