Pressure boosting systems / filling and draining stations

Training courses for pressure boosting systems (separation stations) and filling and draining stations for extinguishing water supply according to DIN 14462 (from conception to professional acceptance).

Fire extinguishing and extinguishing water systems are facilities for preventive fire protection and serve to fight fires for the rescue and protection of persons (see DIN EN 1717). If such systems are directly connected to the drinking water installation, they are subject to special requirements in order to maintain the drinking water quality. DIN 1988 Part 600 already regulates the design and connection of drinking water installations in connection with fire extinguishing and fire protection systems.

With the current Drinking Water Ordinance (TrinkwV), which came into force on 19 December 2019, the requirements become mandatory. The AVB Wasser states that extinguishing water systems may only be connected to the drinking water installation by means of a safety device.

On the fire protection side, the Drinking Water Ordinance affects the operators of properties with wall hydrants. Operators must ensure that water that is not of drinking water quality is not allowed to flow back into the drinking water network. By installing a so-called "safety device", for example in the form of a separating station, the hygienic connection of a wall hydrant system to the drinking water network can be ensured (according to Table 1 DIN 1988/600).
