IMPORTANT - READ BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION
4.1
Water Storage Capacity
The iMatic usable water volume can be found in the technical specification table
(Section 8); the length of time the iMatic delivers water will be dependent on the
usage and refill rates
4.2
Water Temperature
This unit is designed to pump cold water only which should not exceed the
following values:
The maximum allowable water temperature is 23
°
C.
The minimum allowable water temperature is 4
°
C.
4.3
Pipework - General
Do not drill holes or put fastenings into the iMatic tank, this will cause leakage.
System leaks:
Ensure the system to be boosted is able to hold pressure and is leak
free before installing iMatic. Failure to do so will cause abnormal operation and
damage to the unit.
Secure pipework:
Ensure pipework to and from pump is independently supported
& clipped to prevent forces being transferred to inlet and outlet branches of pump.
Do not secure pipework to the iMatic, this will cause damage and possible
leakage.
Flux:
Solder joints must be completed and flux residues removed prior to iMatic
installation (flux damage will void any warranty).
Pipework design:
Care should be taken in the design of pipework runs to minimize
the risk of air locks e.g. use drawn bends rather than 90
o
bends.
DO NOT
introduce solder flux to flexible hose, tank, pump or any parts
manufactured from plastic.
DO NOT
allow contact with oil or cellulose based paints, paint thinners or
strippers, acid based descalents or aggressive cleaning agents.
DO NOT
feed other header or gravity tanks with iMatic. It is acceptable to feed
toilet cisterns provided the toilet fill valve operates correctly and is leak free.
4.4
Plumbing Installation Regulations
The plumbing installation must comply with the current water and building
regulations.
The plumbing installation must be installed by a qualified person.
4.5
Pressure Vessel
The iMatic pressure vessel is pre-charged at the factory and must be set correctly
during installation see Section 10 for details.
