The installation must be in accordance
with Water Regulations / Byelaws.
WARNING: Under no circumstances
must this Aqua 9000 XP pumped
shower be connected directly to the
mains water supply.
To ensure activation of the heating
elements, the shower must be connected
to a Cold water supply which is gravity fed
from a static Cold water storage cistern
with a minimum capacity of 114 litres
(25 galls).
There must be a maximum head of water
of 10 metres (33ft) and a minimum head
of 8 cm (3") as measured between the
Bottom of the cistern and the top of the
shower unit. There must be no other Cold
water draw offs between the cistern and
the unit and the pipe must not supply
water to any other tap or fitting at a lower
level.
NOTE:
The supply pipe from the cistern
should be on the opposite side to the float
operated valve to prevent air being drawn
into the pipe when the cistern is filling.
If it is intended to operate the shower in
hard water areas (above 200 ppm
select a larger cable size.
23. In the majority of installations, the
cable will unavoidably be placed in
one or more of the above
conditions. This being so, it is
strongly recommended to use a
minimum of 10mm cabling
throughout the shower installation.
