33. Please check and complete the following important points:
a) Ensure the preheated water supply is only feeding the DHW water heater and the
cold water inlet of the shower’s thermostatic mixing valve (System A), the cold inlet
of the shower’s thermostatic mixing valve only (System B) or the water heater only
(System C).
b) The preheated water supply from the RECOUP is clearly labelled to avoid
future connections of other services. Preheat supply tape is available for this.
c) Pipework between the RECOUP and the water heater and/or cold
water inlet of the thermostatic mixing valve is insulated.
d) When the complete system is being checked and pressure tested, the
RECOUP must be isolated if the system testing is to proceed above
10 bar.
e) Ensure the SAP label supplied correctly identifies the System installed and is
applied near to the water heater in the property (Part 3).
f) Complete the design and installation checklist or register the installation.

Maintenance
The maintenance required for the RECOUP is very minimal, however, it is recommended to clean the unit
periodically to avoid any reduction in efficiency. This cleaning will remove any build-up of soap and dirt residue on the
outside of the copper pipe where the waste water passes.
The following maintenance procedure is suggested:
A hair filtering device as part of the bath / shower trap is recommended to reduce the amount of hair that gets into
the RECOUP .
Every 2 months, use 1-2 litres of hot water up to 70°C (re-use waste water from boiling potatoes or pasta to save
energy) and apply into the bath / shower-tray drain in 2 stages, with around 5 minutes between. (This will help
dissolve soap residues on the copper pipes in the RECOUP ). Use the shower shortly after to make sure
any debris is flushed away. It is possible to use chemical agents sold for declogging as a cleaning agent if required.
If no maintenance is carried out, the RECOUP will work, but the efficiency may decrease over time.
Warranty
