If the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit is installed in the ceiling above the shower, the
following requirements MUST be met for future servicing purposes:
a. There MUST be no risk of the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit or water pipe becoming frozen or
overheating ( > 40
°
C) in hot summers.
b. To guard against over heating the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit MUST NOT be covered with
any form of insulating material.
c. It is recommended that the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit be installed in an accessible and
safe location.
d. Ceiling joists MUST be adequately boarded to provide safe and unobstructed access to,
from, and around the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit.
e. There MUST be adequate lighting in the ceiling for servicing purposes.
Note: If mounting the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit in a ceiling it is worth considering building
a catchment tank with an overflow pipe directed to an external point. In the unlikely event of
a problem occurring with the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit, this will give a visual indication of
any failure.
