for disinfection should be fl ushed thoroughly before using for pressure testing
of drinking water pipes. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes in time and loses its
effect depending on the environment in which it is stored. Therefore the concen-
tration of the dosing solution should be checked for effectiveness before every
disinfection. To do this, fi ll a clean, sealable container with 100 ml of water and
draw 1 ml of dosing solution from the bottle using the pipette provided with
every carton of REMS Peroxi Color and add it to the container (ratio 1:100).
Seal the container and shake well. The concentration of the container contents
is measured with the test strip (Art. No. 091072) according to the instructions
printed on the test strip package. This should be ≥ 150 mg/l H
The built-in nozzles for automatic dosing by REMS V-Jet TW and REMS V-Jet
H are different and are adapted to the properties of the ingredients to be injected.
Therefore please always observe the intended use.
Only connect the cleaning and preservation unit (Fig. 7) to the fl ushing drain
of REMS Multi-Push (Fig. 4 (15)). Never allow cleaner or corrosion protection
agent to fl ow though the pipes of REMS Multi-Push.

“5.6.2 Safety measures during the tests”: Safety measures may need to be
taken during the tests when carrying out the load test due to the compressibility
of gases. “The max. test pressure may not exceed the value of 3 bar. Every
sudden rise in pressure in the pipe system to be tested must be avoided.”
“5.6.3 Test media”: “The tests in accordance with ... can be carried out option-
ally with air or inert gas (e.g. nitrogen). …The use of oxygen is not permitted.”
(The test with inert gases cannot be carried out with REMS Multi-Push).

2.7 Programs Ingredients \ Cleaning and preservation of heating systems
Before cleaning and preserving heating systems with REMS Multi-Push, safety
devices for the prevention of drinking water contamination by fl owback, e.g.
pipe network separator BA in accordance with EN 1717:2000 must be installed
to protect the drinking water against contamination.

(14) after the fi ne fi lter. Fit the REMS V-Jet H (Fig. 7) cleaning and preservation
unit for heating systems with supply (Fig. 7 (16)) to the fl ushing drain of REMS
Multi-Push (Fig. 4 (15)). Observe the direction of fl ow arrows. The main line of
the cleaning and preservation unit consists of the supply, pressure limiting valve
(17), non-return valve (18), drain to the heating system (19). This is connected
to the heating system to be cleaned by the suction/pressure hose (Fig. 4 (13)).
Part of the supply is pushed through the fl ow head (Fig. 7 (20)) into the bottle
(21) which contains the cleaner or corrosion protection for heating systems.
These are fed into the heating system to be cleaned o

Do not use suction/pressure hoses for drinking water lines any more after they
have been used for heating systems.

air hose (23) to the output Pressure test with compressed air, Disinfection,
Cleaning, Preservation, Compressed air pump (Fig. 4 (22)) and connect it to
the vessel to be pumped up, e.g. expansion vessel, tyre. The value
0.02 MPa / 0.2 bar / 3 psi is preset.
