    • The old safety valve - seen in the first photo already expanded - is screwed on the pump. It is replaced by a combination of safety valve and pressure balance valve. The diaphragm valve dampens the shocks of the pump, making the flow of water quieter and quieter.

    • Remove the two hoses from the valve. For the thicker hose you have to squeeze the hose clamp with pliers, push it away and you can pull off the hose.

    • With the thinner pressure hose above you have to pull out first a clamp, then the hose comes out easily. There may be a gasket on the hose or it may stick in the valve.

    • Make sure that there is a sealing ring above the thread on the valves, marked yellow in the photo.

    • First screw the safety valve into the pump tube. Do not turn too hard.

    • then screw the pressure regulating valve into the safety valve.

    • Place the two outputs on top of each other.

    • Put the two hoses back on. Also pay attention here to the thinner tube on the sealing ring, if possible, a new one.

Sehr gute Anleitung.

Den Deckel abzunehmen fand ich nicht notwendig.

Sehr hilfreich die Ersatzteil Bezugsquellen.

Maschine ist jetzt um einiges leiser.

Danke

Gern geschehen. Stimmt, bei dieser Reparatur muss der Deckel nicht unbedingt ab, liegt halt an der Logik dieser aufeinander aufbauenden Anleitungen.
