Installation and Servicing
SECTION 1 - GENERAL
The boiler does not normally need a bypass but at
least some radiators on the heating circuit, of load
of at least 10% of the minimum boiler output, must
be provided with twin lockshield valves so that this
minimum heating load is always available. See note
regarding thermostatic radiator valves on page 13.
Note.
Systems incorporating zone valves which could
completely cut off the flow through the system must
also include a bypass.
BALANCING
1.
Set the programmer to ON.
Close the manual or thermostatic valves on all
radiators, leaving the twin lockshield valves (on the
radiators referred to above) in the OPEN position.
Turn up the room thermostat and adjust the
lockshield valve to give an uninterrupted flow
through the radiator.
These valves should now be left as set.
2. Open all manual or thermostatic radiator valves
and adjust the lockshield valves on the remaining
radiators, to give around 20
o
C temperature drop at
each radiator.
3. Adjust the room thermostat and programmer to
NORMAL settings.

1.19 WATER TREATMENT
CENTRAL HEATING
The Logic range of boilers have an ALUMINIUM alloy heat
exchanger.
IMPORTANT.
The application of any other treatment to this product
may render the guarantee of Ideal Boilers Invalid.
Ideal Boilers
recommend Water Treatment in accordance
with the Benchmark Guidance Notes on Water Treatment
in Central Heating Systems.
If water treatment is used
Ideal Boilers recommend only
the use of
SCALEMASTER SM-1 PRO, FERNOX, MBI, ADEY
MC1, SENTINEL X100 or CALMAG CM100
inhibitors and
associated water treatment products, which must be used
in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions.
DOMESTIC HOT WATER
1.
It is most important that the correct concentration
of the water treatment products is maintained in
accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions.
2.
If the boiler is installed in an existing system any
unsuitable additives MUST be removed by thorough
cleansing. BS 7593 details the steps necessary to
clean a domestic heating system.
3.
In hard water areas, treatment to prevent lime scale
may be necessary - however the use of artificially
softened water is NOT permitted.
4.
Under no circumstances should the boiler be fired
before the system has been thoroughly flushed.

........ SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS - CONT
Domestic Hot Water
1. The DHW service must be in accordance with BS.5546 & BS.6700.
2. Refer to Table 1 for minimum and maximum working pressures. In
areas of low mains water pressures the domestic hot water regulator
may be removed from the DHW flow turbine cartridge. Refer to
Section 3.20. The boiler will require the flow rate to be set to obtain
a temperature rise of 35
o
C at the tap furthest from the boiler.
3. The boilers are suitable for connection to most types of washing
machine and dishwasher appliances.
4. If the shower/mixer valve does not incorporate non-return valves
the following must be followed:
a.
The cold inlet to the boiler is fitted with an approved anti-
vacuum or syphon non-return valve.
b. Hot and cold water supplies to the shower are of equal pressure.
5. Hard Water Areas
Where the water hardness exceeds 200mg/litre (200 ppm), it is
recommended that a proprietary scale reducing device is fitted into the
boiler cold supply within the requirements of the local water company.
IMPORTANT. Provision must be made to accommodate the expansion
of DHW contained within the appliance. If the DHW inlet contains a
back flow prevention device or non-return valve, e.g. a water meter,
then a mini expansion vessel should be fitted between the device and
the boiler in the cold inlet pipe.
Cold water, rising main and pipework in exposed areas need to
be suitably lagged to prevent freezing.
Note. DHW Expansion Vessel kit available from Ideal.
In hard water areas where mains water can exceed 200ppm
Total Hardness (as defined by BS 7593 Table 2) a scale reducing
device should be fitted into the boiler cold supply within the
requirements of the local water company. The use of artificially
softened water, however, is not permitted.
Ideal Boilers recommend the use of Fernox Quantomat, Sentinel
Combiguard, Calmag CalPhos I scale reducing devices or
Scalemaster In-line Scale Inhibitor branded Ideal, which must be
used in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions.
