All the paints used in the hydraulic parts have certification of suitability for contact with drinking water. M…4-MH…4-MK…4… type submersible motors are supplied ready for use and filled with oil (for lubrication and cooling), approved by the Food and Drug Administration (U.S.A.). M…6…M…12… type motors are supplied filled with a mixture of 70% clean fresh water and 30% DowFrosth 1.2.3.type propylene glycol from Dow Chemical, classifiable as non-hazardous according to the criteria established by the EEC. At the time of installation the mixture can be replaced with clean, filtered fresh water, but never distilled water (see the Operator’s Manual, par. 5.1 “Preliminary checks” for the relevant procedure). Even the power cable supplied by Caprari (EPDM – Blue type) has WRAS certification for use with drinking water.
