Operational test

water flow and temperature at the hot water outlets

Confirm the hot water delivery temperature using a thermometer.

If water controllers are fitted, it is necessary to test their operation through the complete range 

of functions, refer separate instructions provided with the water controllers.

Check cold water inlet filter

Inspect and clean the water inlet filter. This may need to be repeated to ensure the filter 

remains clear, especially on new installations.

If you feel the customer is capable of doing this check it would be beneficial to show them 

how to inspect and clean the water filter as well.

Customer handover

After testing is completed, explain to the customer the function and operation of the water 

heater and water controllers (if fitted).

Also talk to them about:

•  The gas, power, and water connections

•  How frost protection works

•  Procedure for draining the water heater

• 

Where to find the data plate

•  Maintenance and servicing

If the customer is not there try and contact them by phone to discuss these important points.

Ensure the installer details section is completed in the operation guide, the commissioning 

checklist has been completed and signed, and that the guide and checklist are left with the 

customer.
