Abstract

A method of filling a container, preferably containing at least one concentrate, with the concentrate being formed such that it forms at least one liquid concentrate or a part of a liquid concentrate on its solution in or its mixing with a liquid, preferably water, the liquid concentrate or the part of the liquid concentrate being suitable for preparing at least one dialysis solution, includes filling the container via a balance chamber system of a dialyzer. The balance chamber system has chambers from which the liquid is conveyed into the container in the form of repeating cycles. The pressure of the liquid being conveyed is measured during a cycle of the filling phase of the container, and an alarm signal is emitted and/or the filling of the container is stopped if a measured maximum pressure in a cycle does not reach or does not exceed a limit value.
