Reference to WRC-NSF Test Procedure 1.50.220 using a 30 kW boiler. Time to reheat water store by 
55°C - 25 minutes. Reheat time for 70% of store - 18 minutes

Note: Copper or Stainless Steel pipe MUST 
be used between the cylinder, drain back 
unit and collector. Solder connections 
MUST NOT be used on the circuit between 
the drain back unit and the collector
