Open the incoming stop valve and fi ll the domestic mains cold and hot water systems 
including the PulsaCoil BP appliance.

Check the water level in the top up cistern and if a ballvalve is fi tted adjust if necessary.

Check the whole of the domestic hot and cold distribution systems for leaks. Fully 
fl ush and if necessary chlorinate the hot and cold water system in accordance with 
the recommendations in the Water Regulations and BS 6700.

Please note that the whole of the domestic hot and cold water systems including the 
appliance must be adequately fl ushed after chlorination. Failure to do this can cause 
damage to the exchangers/immersion heaters etc. If there are any doubts regarding 
this or the quality of the water being used to fi ll the PulsaCoil BP appliance an inhibitor 
such as Fernox MBI or Sentinel X100 should be added to the appliance when fi lling in 
line with the manufacturers instruction for these products.

It is 

most important

 to check that the top up tank is fi lled up to the water level shown 

on the label, if it is a manual fi ll model. If the optional level gauge has been provided, 
the level will be shown by the red fl oat.

If a ballvalve is provided, turn down the servicing valve once the system is fi nally 
fi lled to the point where the warning/overfl ow pipe will cope with the discharge 
arising from a ballvalve failure. 

If an overfl ow is not provided ensure the temporary fi lling hose is isolated and 
removed from its connection to the cold water supply.

It is essential that all systems function properly for optimum performance and if 
necessary, adjust the thermostatic blending valve to control the hot water outlet 
temperature between 50°C-55°C.

To achieve this the fl ow rate from each tap should be checked and a suitable number of 
taps run simultaneously to check the impact of this on the fl ow rate at individual taps.

We recommend that fl ow regulators are provided for each tap/terminal fi tting 
to ensure that the available fl ow is shared evenly - See Appendix A for further 
details.

At the time of commissioning, complete all relevant sections of the Benchmark 
Checklist located on the inside back pages of this document.

This must be completed during commissioning and left with the product to meet 
the Warranty conditions off ered by Gledhill.
