Washing Machine Information
This Mersey Super, Medway Super and Thames
will work in conjunction with most automatic
washing machines (pressure filled type).
1. The washing machine must incorporate a
pressure level switch to control the amount of
water required during the washing cycle and
an independent heating element, to boost the
washing temperature for certain washing
programmes above the normal 60
°
C (140
°
F)
temperatures produced by this instantaneous
water heater. Most modern machines use
these types of controls.
2. Washing machines which use a
“
TIMED FILL
”
cycle are NOT suitable for use with
instantaneous water heaters.
3. Washing machines which use a
“
MIXING
THERMOSTAT
”
which attempts to mix both
hot and cold water supplies to obtain a pre-
determined temperature are NOT suitable for
use with instantaneous water heaters.
4. The cold water supply pressure must be at
least 1.7 bar.
5. Where a restrictor washer is fitted to the hot
water inlet of the washing machine this MUST
be removed in all cases.
6. Cold fill only type washing machines are not
affected at all by instantaneous water heaters
and may be used in the same household,
provided it is NOT connected to the hot water
supply.
