Hard Water and Limescale
Where mains water hardness can exceed
150 ppm Total Hardness
, you
must install a scale reducing device in the cold-water supply to the Heat
Batteries.
Limescale can be controlled using: chemical limescale inhibitors,
polyphosphate dosing, electrolytic scale reducers or water softeners.
3.3
Location and Space Requirements
•
The Heat Battery is suitable for indoor use only.
•
Avoid locations in close proximity to other building services, hot works,
and other sources of heat. Hot works, such as soldering, welding or
brazing must ONLY be undertaken a
minimum distance of 1m from
the system
and by using cooling clips or other heat absorbent
materials.
•
Due to the weight of the Heat Battery, ensure the floor is level, sound
and capable of supporting its weight (Table 6).
•
Allow for space of 150mm around the Heat battery (i.e. to view LED
lights), and space of 450mm above it (i.e. to remove the lid if necessary):
