These instructions will guide you through the installation, maintenance and use of the Zip
Aquapoint III, however, if you require any further information please call Zip customer service
on 0345 6 005 005.
• The Zip Aquapoint III is an unvented water heater designed for connection directly to
incoming mains water supply and can serve one or more outlets using conventional
taps.
• Care should be taken that the unit being chosen can meet the demands of the outlets
being supplied.
• The casing is constructed of impact resistant plastic and heat losses are minimised by
the high efficiency polyurethane foam insulation.
• The inner vessel is constructed from glass enamelled steel sheet and pressure tested to
1.2 MPa (12 bar).
• A manually resettable safety cut out automatically cuts off the electrical supply to the
heating element in the event of a malfunction.
• A sacrificial magnesium anode is fitted to the vessel to provide anti-corrosion protection
for the vessel and the heating element.
Gradual erosion of the anode will occur depending on local conditions and in extreme
cases, conditions may cause rapid erosion resulting in particles being deposited as a
residue or emitted from the heater.
• The Aquapoint III should not therefore, be used in applications where the quality of the
water is paramount. Regular preventative maintenance inspections are vital to achieve
optimum performance and durability of the appliance.
• The condition of the anode should be checked regularly as part of the preventative
maintenance programme.
If the hot water system is not used for two weeks or more, it is recommended that a
hot tap be turned on for several minutes at a sink, basin or bath, it is not recommended
that either a dishwasher, clothes washer or other appliance be used before the heater
is returned to service.
The Aquapoint III models are approved to the LVD and EMC directives and CE endorsed.
The Aquapoint III models have been examined, tested and found when correctly fitted to
comply with the requirements of the United Kingdom Water Regulations / Byelaws (Scotland).
The products are listed under the WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) Water Fittings
and Materials Directory.
