1.0 IMPORTANT INSTALLATION POINTS
1.1 The Heatstore Ultima Profile Eco stores and dispenses water at or close to
boiling point at all times it is switched on. Due caution must be taken when
choosing a location for the product to minimise misuse. Locate the unit over
a draining board NOT over the sink or basin.
1.2 Push fit connectors DO NOT grip chromed or stainless pipe.
1.3 The Heatstore Ultima Profile Eco is a vented water heater. The vent pipe
must never be blocked or obstructed, it must be a minimum of 15mm outside
diameter pipe. Where the vent pipe length exceeds 3m the pipe diameter
should be increased. The vent pipe must be laid to a continuous fall and
discharge in a safe and visible position; it must discharge via a tundish or
finish a minimum of 20mm above a draining board. The vent pipe material
must be capable of conveying boiling water. The vent pipe must never be
connected directly to a soil pipe.
1.4 Wherever possible the Heatstore Ultima Profile Eco should be supplied
directly from a rising main. If fed from a cold water feed cistern, the cistern
must comply with the Water Regulations Guide (clause R27.2). It should be
noted that water quality may be reduced when supplied from a cistern and
additional forms of water pretreatment may be necessary.
1.5 In hard water areas, heated water will produce lime scale which will be
deposited within the heater. If this is not regularly removed it will impair the
operation of the heater. Where rapid and excessive scale build up is likely
to occur the use of a proprietary scale reducing device may be beneficial.
1.6 The installation must be carried out in accordance with the relevant
requirements of:
The appropriate Building Regulations either The Building Regulations
•
(England & Wales), The Building Regulations (Scotland) or Building
Regulations (Northern Ireland).
The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations in England & Wales or
•
Water Byelaws in Scotland.
1.7 The Heatstore Ultima Profile Eco will adjust for ambient (room) temperatures
of between 1°C and 40°C.
1.8 When not in use care must be taken to prevent it freezing; if thought to be
frozen it must not be switched on. It must be left to thaw and must then be
thoroughly inspected to ensure it is totally thawed and undamaged.
1.9 The unit is not suitable for installation in an area where a water jet could be
used.
