HOT WATER CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY
As modern hot water systems can generate water temperature in excess of 50
o
C, regulations
require that an approved solar rated tempering valve shall be installed in accordance with the valve
manufacturer’s instructions. This is required to prevent water temperatures supplied to the house
exceeding a preset safe maximum. The tempering valve is connected to the hot water outlet lines. The
valve must be fitted by an authorised plumber at the time of installation or in retrofitting to existing
systems.
Care should be taken to avoid coming into contact with any pipe work or fixtures associated with the
water heater collector flow and return lines.
All iStore hot water systems must be installed by an authorized plumber. All installation
work must meet local authority standards, Australian standard (AS 3500.4) and the National
Plumbing Code along with local electrical regulations. Where required, the relevant electrical and
plumbing work will need to be certified to the satisfaction of local regulatory authorities.
If the water heater is left unused for two weeks or more, a small quantity of hydrogen gas (which
is HIGHLY flammable) may accumulate in the top water cylinder. To dissipate this gas safely it is
recommended that a sink or bath hot tap be turned on to dispel a couple of litres of water. During
this procedure there should be no smoking, open flames or any electrical appliances such as washing
machines or dish washers operating nearby. If Hydrogen is discharged through the tap, it will make a
sound like air escaping.
