Common sense does play a part in designing your feng shui bedroom. Flowers will compete with you for oxygen during the night and water from the fish tanks can cause moisture and dampness to your bedroom furniture. Your plants and aquariums should be placed outside the bedroom to prevent you from having health and wealth problems.

Open up the windows in your bedroom during the day.
You should also ensure that your bedroom is free of clutter and well maintained. This is part of a good feng shui bedroom habit which will help to dispel stagnant chi that may cause health and money related problems.

Connect the supply pipe to the mains supply taking care to insert a stop valve. It is possible to connect to hot water up to 65C.

In the housing, the supply pipe and waste pipe must be separate. The housing can be placed in any direction and can be placed on the ground for easier installation.

Safety systems

  1. Anti overflow safety system which prevents the water level from getting too high in the tank, for example if the water supply valve stays open = over flow discharge
  2. Anti leakage safety system which protects against leak from below the appliance, for example from a weak joint or hole in a pipe = water supply disconnection and start of emptying system.
  3. Anti burst safety system which protects against water leaks in the supply pipework = mechanical disconnection of the water coming from the tap.
  4. Protection against the fall of drainage pipe : high point of the drainage pipe avoiding siphoning.
  5. Protection against the return of wastewater : air break in compliance with European Standards.

The Aquablock “Plus” toatal safety system includes safety system 1 + 2 + 3 : Electronically disconnection of the water supply from the tap, electronically disconnection of the valve and drainage of the water from the dishwasher.
