Open the incoming stop valve and fill the domestic mains cold and hot water systems
including the PulsaCoil Stainless appliance.
Check the water level in the top up cistern and if a ballvalve is fitted adjust if necessary.
Check the whole of the domestic hot and cold distribution systems for leaks. Fully
flush and if necessary chlorinate the hot and cold water system in accordance with
the recommendations in the Water Regulations and BS EN 806:1-5: BS EN 8558:2011.
Please note that the whole of the domestic hot and cold water systems including the
appliance must be adequately flushed after chlorination. Failure to do this can cause
damage to the plate heat exchanger/immersion heaters etc. If there are any doubts
regarding this or the quality of the water being used to fill the PulsaCoil appliance an
inhibitor such as Fernox MBI or Sentinel X100 should be added to the appliance when
filling in line with the manufacturers instruction for these products.
Check that the top up tank is filled up to the water level shown on the label. If it is a
manual fill model, this is
most important.
If a ballvalve is provided, turn down the servicing valve once the system is finally
filled to the point where the warning/overflow pipe will cope with the discharge
arising from a ballvalve failure.
If an overflow is not provided ensure the temporary filling hose is isolated and
removed from its connection to the cold water supply.
It is essential that all systems function properly for optimum performance.
To achieve this the flow rate from each tap should be checked and a suitable number of
taps run simultaneously to check the impact of this on the flow rate at individual taps.
We recommend that flow regulators are provided for each tap/terminal fitting
to ensure that the available flow is shared evenly - See Appendix A for further
details.
Commissioning the PulsaCoil Control System
It can be checked that the boost immersion heater is drawing current by use of a
clamp meter on the live supply when boost is active or by interrogating the printed
circuit control board in accordance with the instructions in the fault finding section
of this manual.
If an off peak supply is available at the time the appliance is switched on. Its operation
can be checked with a clamp meter as described above.
If the appliance has been connected with the polarity incorrect it will not operate at all.
See the fault finding section of the manual for further details.
Run a tap and using a digital thermometer check that the temperature of the hot
water is about 52°C. This temperature is factory set and is independent of the store
temperature assuming the store is above 55°C and typical hot water flow rates of
6-15l/min are being drawn.
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 offered by Gledhill.
Basic pump operation testing
In order to confirm that the pump is operational,
and that all air has been cleared from the pump
circuit pipe work, including the PHE. Perform the
following actions.
1. Ensure that the unit is full of water
2. Ensure that the primary pipework to the PHE
and the PHE itself are bled of air
3. Open hot water tap
4. The pump should then run and hot water
will be delivered through the tap
