USER INSTRUCTIONS

Your stainless steel tank requires only annual servicing. You should employ a competent 

installer to perform the annual servicing. Normally this is timed to coincide with the annual 

boiler service.

If water discharges through the Temperature and pressure valve this indicates a fault and action 

is needed.

If the water is hot, turn off the heat source. 

Call out a competent plumber immediately and indicate that you have a fault with you’re 

pressurised tank.”
