2. Appliance description
The groundwater station is an assembly with a stainless steel
plate heat exchanger in a duplex casing made from thermally
insulating plastic.
The purpose of the groundwater station is to use groundwater
as a heat source and it can be connected to brine/water heat
pumps.
The connections for the air vent valve and drain & ll valve are
the same. The groundwater station can therefore be rotated
180° and installed on the left or right of the brine/water heat
pump, depending on the location.
The groundwater station comprises several components,
which are described in the following diagrams.

tioned for throughput, as shown in the diagram.
3.2 Installing the brine circuit
Note
Read and observe chapter “Installing the heat source
system” in the installation instructions for the brine/
water heat pump.
Install a safety assembly in the brine circuit.
Note
Some brine/water heat pumps are supplied with a
safety assembly.
Note
The heat exchanger should only be operated in coun-
tercurrent (see chapter “Specication / Standard cir-
cuits”).
Fill the brine circuit with an ethylene glycol/water mix-
ture with at least 25 % by vol. ethylene glycol. Check for
tightness.
After lling, vent the brine circuit.
3.2.1 Heat source sensor
Check whether a heat source sensor has already been
installed in the brine/water heat pump. If this is not the
case, install the heat source sensor at the groundwater
station heat pump return (see chapter “Specication /
Standard circuits”).
Use contact sensor AVF 6 as a heat source sensor to capture
the brine temperature.
26�03�011431
Clean the pipe.
Apply heat conducting paste.
Secure the sensor with a cable tie.
Connect the contact sensor on heat pump manager

3.2.2 Heat pump manager settings
!
Appliance damage
First set parameter “SOURCE” to ETHYLENE GLY-
COL and then set parameter “SOURCEMIN” to
2°C on heat pump manager WPMII.
If the heat pump has an integral heat pump manager, observe
the following information.
!
Appliance damage
For a brine/water heat pump with integral heat
pump manager, set parameter “SOURCE” to
GWS”.
3.2.3 Brine pressure switch DWS
To prevent any leaks causing damage to the heat pump, install
a brine pressure switch if not already pre-tted to the brine/
water heat pump.
Make the brine pressure switch electrical connections ac-
cording to the wiring diagram in chapter “Specication”.
You can obtain a suitable brine pressure switch via your con-
tractor or from us as an accessory. For the part number, see
chapter “Accessories”.
3.2.4 Fitting the push-t connector
Push-t connectors are tted to the brine circuit connections
to make it easier to connect to the heat pump.
The push-t connectors are equipped with a retainer with
stainless steel serrations and an O-ring for sealing. In addition,
they are designed with the “twist and lock” function. By sim-
ply turning the screw cap manually, the pipe is secured in the
connector, and the O-ring is pushed against the pipe to seal it.
!
Appliance damage
Support sleeves are required when using plastic pipes.
Making the connection
The connector must be in its relaxed position before the pipe
is inserted. In this position, there is a small gap between the
screw cap and connector body.
26�03�01�0693
1
1 Gap between screw cap and connector body
Always use a pipe cutter to trim the pipe.
Push the deburred pipe past the O-ring into the connec-
tor as far as it will go.
Tighten the screw cap fully to the casing. This presses the
O-ring against the pipe and locks the connector.
26�03�01�0693
Pipe Ø 28 mm
Depth of insertion A 44 mm
Releasing the connection
26�03�01�0693
Undo the screw cap until a small gap appears.
Press the retainer back with your ngers and hold on to it.
The pipe can now be pulled out again.
3.3 Installing the heat source system
Size the heat source circuit pump (well pump) for the heat
source system according to the system-specic conditions
(see chapter “Specication / Sizing table”).
!
Appliance damage
The groundwater temperature differential between
the heat source flow and return must be ≤ 3 K.
Note
The heat exchanger should only be operated in coun-
tercurrent (see chapter “Specication / Standard cir-
cuits”).
Install a non-return valve above the source circuit pump.
Fill the heat source system. Make sure there are no leaks.

Commissioning
Required water quality
Common problems when using groundwater as a heat source
include:
- Erosion of heat exchanger and water supply lines.
- Heat exchanger corrosion.
- Sludge contamination or blockages in heat exchanger and
supply lines.
- Sedimentation (blocking) of the return well.
To prevent such problems, the quality of the groundwater used
as heat source must meet the following standards:
- The water must not contain any matter which might
settle.
- Never use surface water or saline water.
- The iron and manganese content must be less than 0.5
mg/l.
In pertinent individual cases, e.g. wells near salt mining areas
or regions with a great prevalence of livestock, the following
water content needs to be taken into consideration:
- Chloride < 300 mg/l
- Chlorine < 0.5 mg/l
If one of the specied limits is exceeded, operation of the
groundwater station is not permissible.
To prevent blockage of the heat exchanger caused by solid
particles transported with the groundwater (sand, ne sludge,
etc.), install a suitable dirt lter with a mesh size of 0.6mm on
site at the heat source ow. You can obtain a suitable dirt lter
via your contractor or from us as a spare part. Install appropri-
ate pre-lters and settlement basins if higher levels of solid
particles are transported with the groundwater.
After lling, vent the heat source system.
Adjust the heat source ow rate so that the brine ow rate at
the brine/water heat pump always corresponds to the required
values.
Note
Read and observe the operating and installation in-
structions for the brine/water heat pump and the di-
agrams in chapter “Specication”.
3.4 Insulation
To avoid condensate and therefore damage to the heat source
system and the brine circuit, insulate them with diusion-proof
material.
Also insulate the drain & ll valve, the air vent valve and
the brine pressure switch.
26�03�14�0101
Fit the insulation hoses as shown in the diagram above.

2 Upper shell
3 Clip
After insulation, t the upper shell on the groundwater
station.
Secure the upper shell to the lower shell using the clips
provided.
4. Commissioning
Move the levers of the 3-way ball valves to the throughput
position.
Check the system pressure in the brine circuit. The system
must have overpressure of at least 0.1 MPa.
With the “Relay test” parameter on the heat pump man-
ager, check the functioning of the well and brine circuit
pump.
Read the heat source temperature o the heat pump
manager under the “Info temperatures” parameter and
check the plausibility of this value.
Check the “SOURCE MIN” (minimum source temperature)
and “SOURCE” settings on the heat pump manager.
Commission the brine/water heat pump.
The groundwater station temperature dierential between
the heat source inlet and the heat source outlet should be no
higher than 3K.
The temperature dierential ∆ϕ1 in the heat source circuit
must be greater than the temperature dierential ∆ϕ2 in the
brine circuit.

“Specication”.
Check that the hydraulic connection has been carried out
correctly.
5. Appliance handover
Make the user familiar with the appliance and hand them this
manual for safekeeping.
6. Cleaning, care and
maintenance
A damp cloth is sucient for cleaning the casing. Never use
abrasive or solvent-based cleaning agents.
6.1 Maintenance
Note
