VADA - V30-RC
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Inspect your pump, ensuring that it is well packaged and has not been damaged in transport. If the pump is damaged, report it to the Reece
branch where the pump was purchased. Warranty of these pumps is void unless they are operated in accordance with these instructions.
For electrical and model details see the pump name plate.
Do not use the electrical cable to lift or transport the pump.
INSTALLATION
Please ensure the installation checklist (found at the end of this document) is filled out during installation
1. Firstly determine the water supply pressure in the home. The V30-RC is rated to a maximum operating pressure of 500kpa. If the pressure
exceeds 500kpa it is necessary to install a pressure-limiting valve to the cold-water inlet to the home. It is also important that the Hot and Cold
systems are of an equal pressure. If a pressure limiting valve is fitted to the hot water system it will be necessary to install a second pressure
limiting valve to the cold water system as it enters the home. Do not limit the pressure at the connection point to the V30-RC.
2. Turn off the water supply and relieve the pressure from both the hot and cold lines.
3. If it is a new installation ensure that the pipes are thoroughly flushed of all swarf and debris prior to installing the V30-RC as this could harm
the unit.
4. Disconnect the pipes that connect from the threaded nipples protruding from the wall to the tap.
5. Install brass tees and valves, in a configuration that matches figure 1.
6. It is necessary to install isolation valves to the V30-RC unit. These must only be ball type valves that will allow water to flow in both directions.
They should be mounted at the wall to the new tees that have been fitted.
7. Re connect the pipes to the new threads on the brass tees (one hot and one cold)
8. Connect ball valves and flexible braided hoses to the remaining threads on the tees and connect to the threads on the V30-RC. Ensure that the
hot and cold connections are made to the correct side of the V30-RC. The hot and cold are marked on the unit. Do not strain the fittings on the
pump, as this could break the threads.
9. Position the V30-RC on a shelf or mount it to the back of the cupboard and fix with screws.
10. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
11. Select a suitable location for the remote activation button, usually in the bench or side of the cupboard.
12. Priming the pump is very important - After installing the V30-RC and before pressing the button, turn on the hot and cold water with a low
flow, then press the activation button of the V30-RC. This will purge any air from within the V30-RC pump. This must be done on installation and
any time that the water service has been isolated and drained.
13. There are no special tools required for the installation of this product.
OPERATION
1.
To operate the V30-RC, simply press the activation button.
2.
The unit will provide one audible beep to indicate it has started to circulate hot water.
3.
The unit will beep three times once hot water has arrived at the location.
NB: the time it takes for water to arrive will depend on pipe length, size and type of water heater.
If the V30-RC is to be controlled from more than one location, it is possible to install multiple buttons when wired in parallel. If more than one
button is required, contact your Reece store to order.
GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The V30-RC requires no specific maintenance. Although it will be beneficial for the lifetime of the unit to ensure the water supply is free of par-
ticles such as rust and scale.
