Pressure Requirements from your house supply.
We recommend a bar pressure between 2 and 3 bar. If you have a
combi boiler system no problem should be experienced. If you
have a gravity feed older type of installation (hot water tank type
usually less than 1 bar) you will almost certainly need a pump. We
cannot advise on which type of pump is used, location or design
because all house plumbing layouts vary. This is a job for your in-
staller /plumber. The end delivery however must fall within the
scope above.
Debit Requirements.
You will need the debit capabilities of at least 10 litres per minute.
Again an average combi boiler will supply this but please check if
you have a gravity feed system.
Important Note
Do not exceed 3 bar pressure under any circum-
stances. Warranty void if so as damage will occur. If combi. type
supply, use a pressure reducing valve if required.
