3.0 IMPORTANT INSTALLATION POINTS
3.1 The Aquatap unit must be installed in accordance with the relevant requirements of:
• The appropriate building regulations by application of either The Building
Regulations (England and Wales), The Building Regulations (Scotland) or
The Building Regulations (Northern Ireland). In territories other than those listed
the local regulations in force must be complied with.
• The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (England, Wales and Northern
Ireland) or The Water Byelaws in Scotland.
3.2 The Aquatap stores and dispenses water at or close to boiling point whilst
switched on. Due caution must be taken when choosing a location for the product to
minimise any possible misuse. The dispenser tap should be located so that it
discharges over a sink or mounted on its own purpose designed drip tray (available as
an accessory, product code 95970138).
3.3 The Aquatap is a vented water heater. The vent pipe must never be blocked,
obstructed or removed. Warning: In the event of a unit malfunction, steam may vent
from the vent pipe for a short period of time (see fig. 5, page 11 for position of vent
pipe).
3.4 Wherever possible the Aquatap should be supplied directly from the cold mains
supply. If fed from a cold water feed cistern, the cistern must comply with the
Water Regulations Guide (Clause R27.2). It should be noted that water quality may
be reduced when supplied from a cistern and additional pre-treatment of the water
supply to the Aquatap (eg, filtration) may be necessary.
Note: In order to meet the minimum supply pressure requirements of the Aquatap,
any cold feed cistern must be a minimum of 5 metres above the unit.
3.5 In hard water areas, heated water will produce limescale which will be deposited in
the heater. If this is not regularly removed it will impair the operation of the Aquatap
unit. Where rapid and excessive scale build up is likely to occur, the use of a
proprietary scale reducing device on the water supply to the unit may be beneficial.
3.6 The unit must not be installed where it is liable to freeze. If the unit is thought to be frozen
it must not be switched on. It should be allowed to thaw and must then be thoroughly
inspected to ensure it is undamaged.
3.7 The unit is not suitable for installation in an area where a water jet could be used.
3.8 The water chiller must be installed and commissioned in accordance with
SuperChill 30B Fitting Instructions and User Guide 36006126.
