1. WATER Operation
Check that the physical-chemical characteristics of water are - Fill the cylinder with water;
within the values shown into EC directive 80/778. - Check the anode tightness;
As far as Italy is concerned, also refer to both DPR 24-05-1988 - Connect the impressed current anode plug;
n.236 as amended and integrated (at present, the Ministerial - Check that the operation light is on and green;
Decree issued by the Ministry of Health on 14/07/1988 and the - In case the light is off, check all connections;
