Mains Water Supply 

The MULTI

flow

’s performance is

 largely related to the cold water supply pressure and 

flow rate incoming to the property.  

 

The mains supply to the unit should ideally be in a minimum of 

22mm diameter 

but will work with 15mm if there is adequate pressure and flow rate. 

 

The MULTI

flow

 will operate with a minimum incoming mains pressure of 

1.0

 

Bar 

and a

 minimum flow rate of 20 Litres/minute

.

 

Careful consideration should be 

made to ensure the pressure of hot and cold supplies are balanced.  

 

An incoming pressure of 

2.1 Bar

 is the most optimal for performance. 

 

If the incoming pressure 

exceeds 3 Bar,

 then a pressure reducing valve must be 

fitted after the stopcock of where the incoming cold supply enters the property.  

 

No Pressure Reducing Valve or Check Valve should be fitted 

within 2 metres

 of 

the Cold Inlet to the MULTI

flow

 Coil. 

 

If the flow rate exceeds 

15 Litres per minute

 at any tap, it should be restricted 

to maintain the performance of the system as a whole. 

Immersion Heaters 

 

 Immersion Heaters are preset to ensure the store temperature reaches 

70°C

 

(maximum 

75°C

) once the unit is heated.  

 

The Immersion Heater thermostats are preset with the control setting at 

70°C

 

and the high limit setting at 

90°C

. The control setting can be lowered or 

increased as required for the installation requirements.   

 

If in any doubt of how to set the Immersion or what temperature we would 
advise for specific installations, please contact us on 

01592 611123

 

All Immersion Heaters should be wired by a qualified electrician as shown 
below, for further information refer to literature provided with the immersion;
