To be observed for disposal: "If the water used for disinfection of an installation
is to be drained into a drain pipe or sewer, the responsible department must
be informed and the water may only be drained when the responsible depart-
ment has granted its permission." "Because of the rapid decomposition, the
disposal of hydrogen peroxide by draining into the sewer system is unproblem-
atical."
A maximum line length of 100 m is specified for flushing sections in the European
standard EN 806-4:2010 and in the information leaflet "Flushing, Disinfection
and Commissioning of Drinking Water Installations" (August 2014) of the German
Central Association for Sanitary, Heating and Air Conditioning (ZVSHK). For
this length a volume of approx. 20 l is required for a ½" galvanised steel pipe
and a volume of approx. 100 l disinfectant for a 1 ¼" pipe (see Fig. 6: Volume
in l/m of different pipes).
Depending on the volume of the individual pipe sections, several pipe sections
can be disinfected with one bottle of REMS Peroxi Color dosing solution (see
Accessories 1.2. Article Numbers). However, it is recommended not to use an
opened bottle for longer than one day because the dosing solution loses in
concentration.
Open the bottle (21) and pour the enclosed dye (20 ml bottle) into the bottle
immediately before the disinfection process. Close the bottle then shake so
that the dye is mixed evenly with the hydrogen peroxide.
CAUTION
The dye is not harmful to the health but very intensive and is very difficult to
remove from the skin or clothing. Therefore pour the dye into the bottle carefully.
Mount the bottle on the disinfection and cleaning unit as shown in Fig. 7 (21).
Select the Disinfection menu item. This menu item is only available as of Version
Software 2.0, load from USB-Stick as a download under www.rems.de →
Downloads → Software into the controller of the REMS Multi-Push if necessary.
Program 3.1.1 if necessary. Select flush with water (without air supply). During
the filling process, all tapping points on the drinking water installation must be
opened one after another, starting with the furthest away, until the dyed disin-
fection solution emerges at the respective tapping point. If the tapping point is
in a dark environment it is helpful to hold a white background (e.g. a sheet of
paper) behind the outlet in order to be able to see the disinfection solution
better.
At the end of the disinfection process or to change the bottle, the supply of the
disinfection and cleaning unit before REMS Multi-Push and the drain to the
drinking water installation must be shut off. Then the bottle (21) must be removed
slowly so that excess pressure can escape.
After 24 hours exposure (recommendation of the German Central Association
for Sanitary, Heating and Air Conditioning (ZVSHK) and recommendation of
the German Association of the Gas and Water Industry (DVGW), the disinfec-
tion solution must be flushed out of the drinking water installation with REMS
Multi-Push. To do this, all tapping points must be opened again one after another,
starting with the nearest, until there is no longer any trace of the dyed disinfec-
tion solution.
Additionally, peroxide test strips can be used if necessary to check the concen-
tration (accessories, see 1.2. Article numbers).
NOTICE
Hoses used for disinfection/cleaning should no longer be used for pressure
testing with water and for flushing drinking water pipes.
3.3. Testing drinking water installations with compressed air program
WARNING
For Germany the information leaflet "Leak Tests of Drinking Water Installations
with Compressed Air, Inert Gas or Water" (January 2011) of the German Central
Association for Sanitary, Heating and Air Conditioning (ZVSHK) defines the
following for the national regulations under "3.1 General":
"Due to the compressibility of gases, the rules for the prevention of accidents
"Working on Gas Systems" and the "Technical Rules for Gas Installations
DVGW-TRGI" must be observed for physical and safety reasons when
conducting pressure tests with air Therefore, the test pressures have been
defined as maximum 0.3 MPa/3 bar/43.5 psi, the same as for load and leak
tests for gas pipes, in agreement with the responsible industrial liability
insurance association and based on these rules. The national regulations are
thereby fulfilled."
The respective national safety provisions, rules and regulations valid for
the application site must be considered and observed.
Before conducting a test with compressed air, it must be assessed whether the
installation to be tested will withstand the preset / selected test pressure "p
refer".
Section 6. of EN 806-4:2010 defines among other things that: "Installations
inside buildings must be subjected to pressure testing. This can be done either
with water or, if national regulations allow, oil-free, clean air with low pressure
or inert gases may be used. The possible risk from high gas or air pressure in
the system must be considered." However, apart from this note, the standard
EN 806-4:2010 contains no test criteria whatsoever for testing with compressed
air.
The tests described below and the defaults stored in the REMS Multi-Push
correspond to the information leaflet "Leak tests of drinking water installations
with compressed air, inert gas or water" (January 2011) of the German Central
22
Association for Sanitary, Heating and Air Conditioning (ZVSHK). Future changes
to this information leaflet or the respective valid provisions, rules and regulations
for the application site must be considered and changed test criteria (test
sequences, pressures and times) must be corrected in the defaults.
The programs can be aborted at any time with the Esc button (10). Then all
the valves open and the pressure in the installation is released. The tests are
saved but "Cancel" is shown in the file.

3.4. Testing drinking water installations with water programs (REMS Multi-Push
SLW)
Section 6.1 of EN 806-4:2010 offers 3 test methods A, B, C for hydrostatic
pressure testing depending on the material and size of the installed pipes. The
test methods differ in different test sequences, pressures and times.
For Germany, the information leaflet "Leak Tests of Drinking Water Installations
with Compressed Air, Inert Gas or Water" (January 2011) of the German Central
Association for Sanitary, Heating and Air Conditioning (ZVSHK), the following
is defined with regard to the test methods A, B, C for pressure testing with water
offered in section 6.1 of EN 806-4:2010: "For reasons of practicability on the
building site, a modified method based on practical tests which can be used
for all materials and combinations of materials was chosen. The test time has
been extended in relation to the time specified in the standard to allow even
the slightest leaks to be detected. Test method B in accordance with DIN EN
806-4 is the basis for conducting the leak test with water for all materials." The
following is defined:
Leak testing with water can be conducted when
● changing of the water can be ensured at regular intervals, after seven days
at the latest, from the time of the leak test to commissioning of the drinking
water installation. Additionally when
● it is ensured that the house or building water connection is flushed and
therefore released for connection and operation,
● the pipe system is filled using totally hygienic components,
● the system remains full from the leak test to commissioning and partial
filling can be avoided.
WARNING
The hydro-pneumatic water pump installed additionally in the REMS Multi-Push
SLW for these tests is fed by the built-in compressor of the REMS Multi-Push.
The hydro-pneumatic pump generates a water pressure of max. 1.8 MPa/
18 bar/261 psi. Before conducting one of the tests with water A, B, C, it must
be assessed whether the installation to be tested will withstand the preset/
selected test pressure "p refer".
CAUTION
Before disconnecting the high-pressure hose (26) from the pressure test with
water drain (25) or from the drinking water installation, make sure that the
pressure has been totally relieved.
The programs can be aborted at any time with the Esc button (10). Then all
the valves open and the pressure in the installation is released. The tests are
saved but "Cancel" is shown in the file.
