to include vulnerable occupants, an assessment should be made as to whether the category of
system is still appropriate.
•
Any mains boost water tanks should be checked to see they are functioning correctly and have
been maintained as stipulated in their manufacturer’s instructions.
•
Inspect the heads and the low-pressure connection for any sign of leaks. If there are any signs of
leakage follow the troubleshooting guide to find the fault (see page 100).
•
It is also worthwhile to reissue a user guide (page 114).

Software update process
IMPORTANT!
The software must be updated annually.
•
Complete a full software update (see Software update process on page 98).
5.
Commissioning
IMPORTANT!
A full recommissioning (page 75) must be performed at least annually and following
maintenance or actuation.
Before commissioning, unlock the locking pin, and remove the quick connect test point from the pump.
Pour out any stagnant water into a bucket. If this is more than a pint, please take a photo and contact
Plumis, as this could be evidence of a faulty solenoid valve on the pump. If you suspect a leak dry the
area and place a dry paper towel down and observe after 10 minutes.
Once you have completed commissioning, pay attention to the air flow through each nozzle when
pumping the water out of the hose upon completion.

Long term
IMPORTANT!
Every 5 years additional maintenance must be carried out before starting the normal
procedure (above):
Replace the consumables
•
Replace the washers in the low-pressure hoses
•
Replace the filter with a new one
Inspection and testing of hoses and pipework and Automist
•
After 20 years all pipework, hoses, cables and Automist should be inspected. The pipework should
be thoroughly flushed out and hydrostatically tested. All pipework and hoses should be externally
inspected. At least one metre length of pipe should be inspected per 50 systems. Two sections of
at least one metre length of each pipe or hose diameter should be inspected. All defects which
might adversely affect the performance of the system should be eliminated.
•
Several Automist items should be removed, labelled with location in the building, and sent to
Plumis for testing. The scope of sampling is a function of the total number of units installed. In a
single dwelling select an individual sprayhead. In larger schemes, select 3% of the number of units
in a building or scheme, whichever number is the largest. The selection and removal of
components should be taken from a variety of locations that are representative of the range of
