SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

The Registered Installer is responsible for the safe installation and operation of the 

system.  The installer must also make his customer aware that periodic maintenance 

of the equipment is essential for safety.

Maintenance periods will vary for many reasons. Ideal Boilers recommend a maximum 

of 12 months to coincide with heat pump maintenance.  Experience of local water 

conditions may indicate that more frequent maintenance is desirable, eg, when water is 

particularly hard, scale-forming or where the water supply contains a high proportion 

of solids, eg, sand.  Maintenance must include the following:

1.  Check and clean filter

2.  Manually check the operation of the temperature relief valve.

3.  Manually check the operation of the expansion relief valve.

4.  Check discharge pipes from temperature and expansion relief valves are free from 

obstruction and blockage and are not passing any water.

5. Check the condition and if necessary descale the heat exchangers in hard water

areas.

6. Check that water pressure downstream of pressure reducing valve is within the

manufacturers limits.

7.  Check operation of motorised valve.

8.  Check the pressure on the air side of the expansion vessel.  This must be done with 

the pressure on the water side at zero (gauge pressure).

9.

 

Check and advise the householder not to place any clothing or other combustible 

materials against or on top of this appliance.

10. On completion of the work, fill in the Benchmark Service Record at towards the

back of this manual.

IMPORTANT NOTE

When draining down the appliance for any reason, the instructions 

provided in the Commissioning Section MUST be followed to prevent 

potential damage to the cylinder.

After servicing, complete the relevant Service Interval Record section of the Benchmark 

Checklist located on the inside back pages of this document.
