The tank assembly is supplied assembled and fitted with non-removable PU insulation and outer plastic jacket. Adjustable feet are screwed into the lower racks of the tank assembly to balance the tanks in the plane.

• The installation of the tank must be carried out in a location that can be considered suitable, i.e. the equipment must be easily accessible for any necessary maintenance, repair or eventual replacement.
• There must be no space between the hot water safety valves, the heating circuit and the storage tank no shut-off valve must be located!!
• The connection of the hot water tank must be in accordance with ČSN 06 0830, i.e. a safety valve is required at the cold water inlet.
• Before commissioning, we recommend starting the heating circuit and cleaning any impurities trapped in the filter, after which the system is fully operational.

TECHNICAL PARAMETERS

OPERATION AND FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

FIRST COMMISSIONING

Once the tank is connected to water supply system and power supply, and the safety valve tested (accordingly with the manual attached to the valve), the tank can be put in operation. Before opening the power supply, the tank must be filled with water. The process of first heating must be executed by licensed professional who has to check it. Both the hot water outlet pipe and safety armature parts may be hot.
Procedure:

• a) Check the water main and wiring; Check proper placement of thermostat sensors. The sensors must be inserted all the way in; first the thermostat and then the safety fuse;
• b) Open the hot water valve on the combination faucet;
• c) Open the cold water inlet valve to the tank.
• d) When the water starts flowing through the hot water valve, the filling of the tank is finished and the valve needs to be closed;
• e) If a flange lid leak is discovered, the flange lid bolts need to be tightened; screws has to be tightened by cross, tightening moment 15Nm
• f) When heating the water with thermal energy from a hot water heating system, turn off the electricity and open the valves at the inlet and outlet of heating water or bleed the exchanger. Once the operation restarts, keep flushing the tank until the cloud disappears;
• g) Make sure to fill in properly the warranty certificate

PLUMBING FIXTURE

• Pressure water connects to pipes with 3/4″ thread. Blue – cold water supply, red – hot water outlet. For potential disconnection of the tank, utility water inlets and outlets must be provided with Js 3/4″ screw coupling. The safety valve is mounted on the cold water inlet identified with a blue ring.
• Every hot utility water pressure tank shall be equipped with membrane spring loaded with safety valve. Nominal clearance of safety valves is defined by standard. Safety valve shall be easily accessible, fitted as close as possible to the tank. The inlet pipes must have at least the same clearance as the safety valve. Safety valve is placed high enough to secure dripping water drain by gravity. We recommend mounting the safety valve onto a branch pipe. Easier exchange without the necessity of draining water from the tank. Safety valves with fixed pressure settings from the manufacturer are used for the assembly. Starting pressure of a safety valve must be identical to the maximum allowed tank pressure, and at least 20 % higher than the maximum pressure in the water main (Tabel 2). If the water main pressure exceeds such value, a reduction valve must be added to the system. No closing armature may be mounted between the tank and the safety valve. During assembly, follow the guide provided by the safety equipment manufacturer.
• It is necessary to check the safety valve each time before putting it into operation. It is checked by manual moving of the membrane from the seat, turning the make-and-break device button always in the direction of the arrow. After being turned, the button must click back into a notch. Proper function of the make-and-break device results in water draining through the safety valve outlet pipe. In regular operation, such a check needs to be carried out at least once a month, and after each shutdown of the tank longer than 5 days. Water may be dripping off the drain pipe of the safety valve; the pipe must be open into the air, pointed down; environment temperatures must not drop below zero. When draining the tank, use the recommended drain valve. First of all, close water inlet in the tank.

Find necessary pressure values in the table below Tabel 2. For proper safety valve operation, a backflow valve shall be mounted on the inlet pipes, preventing spontaneous heater draining of the tank and hot water penetration back into the water main. We recommend that the hot water distribution from the tank was as short as possible to minimize heat losses. At least one demountable joint must be mounted between the tank and every supply pipe. Adequate piping and fittings with sufficiently dimensioned maximum temperature and pressure values must be used.

TANK CLEANING AND ANODE ROD EXCHANGE

• Repetitive water heating causes limestone sediment on both the enameled tank walls and chiefly the flange lid. Lime scale settling depends on hardness of heated water, its temperature and on the volume of hot water used.
• We recommend checking and cleaning the tank from scale and eventual replacement of the anode rod after two years of operation.
• The anode life is theoretically calculated for two years of operation; however, it changes with water hardness and chemical composition in the place of use. Based on such an inspection, the next term of anode rod exchange may be determined. Have a company in charge of service affairs deal with the cleaning and exchanging of the anode. When draining water from the tank, the combination faucet valve for hot water must be open, preventing the occurrence of under-pressure in the tank receptacle which would stop water from draining.
• To prevent the occurrence of bacteria (e.g. Legionella pneumophila) within stack heating it is recommended, if absolutely necessary, to increase the temperature of hot service water (HSW) periodically for a transitional period of time to at least 70 °C. It is also possible to make use of another way of disinfecting HSW.
