Abstract
The invention relates to a device for metering an additive into a fluid, containing a valve body, a fluid inlet, and a fluid outlet. A first channel system extends between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet in the valve body, and a second channel system extends between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet in the valve body such that in the operating state fluid can flow from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet either through the first channel system or through the second channel system. The valve body contains a docking element which is configured for docking a cartridge for the additive. A switchover device is provided which can be switched if the cartridge is docked such that the second channel system is fluidically connected to the cartridge when the cartridge is connected to the docking element.
