System separator for water from Kärcher
A high-pressure cleaner makes a lot of work around the house and garden easier. In order to be able to use a device like the one from Kärcher, a system separator to protect the water is almost inevitable.

- The separation serves as a kind of barrier that is supposed to protect the drinking water. Should there be any unexpected problems with the device or the line (e. B. sudden fluctuations in pressure), this ensures that dangerous pollution does not occur.
- However, you do not need this separation if you have a high-pressure cleaner that is connected to a rain barrel, for example, or has a free outlet. These do not come into direct contact with the drinking water and therefore do not require any additional protection.
