VESTA DS is not responsible for the blockage of the domestic system
due to the accumulation of foreign matters or scaling.
The installer or the user should take appropriate measures in order
to avoid any problem related to the quality of water.
Freeze Protection
VESTA DS recommends to insulate the DHW pipes. The pipes can be
covered using heat-insulating materials. Freeze damage voids the
warranty.
Essential Elements in a DHW System
DHW Heat Exchanger
The DHW heat exchanger installed on the VRC boiler is designed to
withstand a significant amount of water pressure.
Drain and Isolation Valves
Install the drain and isolation valves on the inlet and outlet of the
DHW heat exchanger. Any matter that may be generated due to
dirty water or hard water can now be washed away with water.
DHW Filter
VESTA DS VRC boiler has a filter on its cold water inlet nipple. Clean
the filter periodically to prevent the interruption of water flow by
foreign matters.
If such foreign substances adhere to the flow switch, the boiler may
malfunction.
