3. Commission and Check Water Connections
•
Before plugging the tank into the power socket, the system must be full of
water and tested for leaks.
•
Open all water valves to allow water to flow to the boiling water tank.
•
Pull the boiling tap handle out to release the safety lock (see Section 5) and turn
away from you to fill the tank, this will take approx 1 minute. When the tank is full,
water will flow from the spout.
•
Check water flows smoothly from the tap to ensure all air has been purged from
the system, this could take up to 1 minute.
•
Test the pressure relief valve by twisting the red cap until water flows from the
valve.
•
If the pressure relief valve is discharging whilst the heater is turned off this is a sign
that the incoming pressure exceeds the 6 bar rating of the pressure relief valve. A
pressure reducing valve is required (not supplied).
•
When the air is purged, the tap is closed and the system is fully pressurised, inspect
all connections for leaks.
•
Flush any filters through ensuring the water runs clear.
•
Ensure there are no obstructions in the expansion zone between the manifold and
the tank.
