Water Requirements

IMPORTANT
Under no circumstances must the Power Shower be connected to the mains cold water supply, or to a combination boiler, or pressurised hot water system.
All plumbing should be completed before any electrical connections are undertaken.

For correct operation of the Bristan 1000. Power Shower both hot and cold supplies to the unit must be gravity fed, at nominally equal pressures, from a cold water storage tank and hot water storage cylinder.

Please ensure compliance with all Water Regulations.

Please ensure maximum supply head of 10 metres (1 bar), minimum 1 metre (0.1 bar).

It is recommended that the hot water supply is at a temperature of 60°C, in line with British Standard 6700, British Water Regulations, and Plumbing Code of Practice.

Do not use jointing compounds, or solder within 300mm of the unit.

Before proceeding with the installation of this unit, check that your site requirements allow the shower unit and handset when positioned on the wall to be a minimum of 1 metre below the bottom of the cold water storage tank.

The unit can be connected to a combination cylinder system providing it has cold water storage capacity of 112 litres (25 gallons).

Do not run pump dry as this will damage the internal seals and invalidate the warranty.

All pipe work to the unit should be 15mm. Nonrestrictive isolating valves must be fitted on hot and cold supply pipes. When connecting pipe work avoid using elbows: sweep or formed bends will ensure optimum performance.

The temperature of your stored water must not exceed 65°C. A stored water temperature of 60°C is considered sufficient to meet all normal requirements in line with the British Standard 6700.

Prior to Installation

Please note that this product comes packaged with the front cover and control knobs already in place. These have to be removed to install the shower. Please follow the procedure below.

Removing Cover

1. Temperature Control Knob
2. Screws (x3)

Pull off control knob (1).

Remove all three fixing screws (2). The cover can now be slowly removed – care should be taken not to strain wiring which is attached to the front cover.

This procedure can be reversed to replace the front cover and control knob after installation to the wall.

We recommend that the shower unit is fitted at chest height, and set to one side of the intended riser rail position, ensuring that the position of the shower handset when positioned on the wall is at least 1 metre below the cold water storage tank.

The outlet connection for the hose should be sited at the bottom of the unit.

The integral fittings on the valve are of the self-seal push-fit type. Ensure that all burrsare removed from the ends of the supply pipes. Where chromium plated pipe is used then the first 25mm of chrome must be roughened or removed to ensure that the push fit fittings in the supply retain the pipe in position.

The inlet elbows supplied are of a standard length, in some cases these will need to be shortened for correct installation.

IMPORTANT

The unit must be fitted on the finished tiled surface.
Do not seal the edge the shower unit to the tiled surface with any form of sealant.
The gap between the back of the shower unit and the tiles is needed for ventilation.

REMEMBER

Isolate mains water and electrical supplies before starting installation.

Installation – Plumbing Connections

Connecting pipework can feed from above or below the unit, or straight through the wall at nominal centres of 40mm.

If exposed pipe work is the chosen option, the pipes enter the unit on the right hand side with the cold on the top. The pipe centres are 40mm apart, and need to penetrate the mixer connections to a depth of 25mm.

If the pipe work is to be back fed, it should be let into the wall with the ends of the hot and cold pipes standing 25mm off the finished surface of the wall, and centres 40mm apart, with the cold above the hot.

Position the unit on the wall and mark the fixing hole positions. Drill and secure to wall using appropriate fixings (not supplied).

Make the necessary measurements, remove the unit from the wall, and bring the pipe work and wiring to finished positions.

Make the hot water connection into the hot water supply pipe from the cylinder, ensuring that it is the first draw off (below the expansion tee), to minimise the effects of water drawn off elsewhere in the house, and a minimum of 1 metre below the base of the cold water storage tank. If connection to the hot water storage pipe is not possible, a cylinder flange type connection may be used.

Make the cold water connection into the base of the cold water storage tank, 60mm below the level of the cold water take off to the hot water cylinder. Run hot and cold pipe work to the unit position.

Flush out the pipe work to ensure that no debris enters the unit. Cut the inlet elbows to the required length.

IMPORTANT

Do not fit a fuse or switch on mains electrical supply until all plumbing work is completed.

Do not use jointing compounds, or solder within 300mm of the unit.

REMEMBER

Hot on the bottom, cold on the top.

Locate the inlet elbows into the mixer valve inlets by pushing firmly through the rubber grommets until pipe stop is felt.

Hold the unit on the wall and mark the pipe work to the appropriate length.

Cut the pipes and remove all burrs. Push the unit and elbows firmly onto the pipes until the stop is felt.

Release unit from pipes by pressing the collects on the elbow fittings, and pulling the unit off the pipe work.

Installation – Electrical Connections

IMPORTANT

Do not fit a fuse or switch on mains electrical supply until all plumbing work is completed.

Do not use jointing compounds, or solder within 300mm of the unit.

Warning! Please check for any hidden pipes and cables before drilling holes in the wall.

• Wall Fixing Points
  
  

• Electrical Connections
  

Bring a supply cable (to conform to I.E.E. regulations) from the switch to the unit position.

The cable can enter the unit from the rear, or via channels in the base of the unit, and the bottom or the right hand side.

Feed the supply cable in to the unit but do not connect. Refit unit to pipes and secure to wall using appropriate fixings (not supplied).

Connect the wire which may be coloured Brown or Red to the terminal marked L. Connect the wire which may be coloured Black or Blue to the terminal marked N. Connect the wire which may be coloured Yellow/Green to the terminal marked.

Secure into position with the cable clamp and tighten the two fixing screws.

Do not fit the front cover at this stage refer to the commissioning procedure.

Note: If the electrical supply cable is concealed in the wall ensure that it avoids the unit’s fixing points so that fixing screws do not pierce the cable.

Fixing the Riser Rail to the Wall

When working near a basin, bath or shower insert plug or cover waste to prevent losing small parts.

Take care not to drop tools/equipment into basin, bath or shower during shower installation.

Note: If replacing an existing riser rail, check to see if the existing holes can be reused or covered by the new wall brackets. Try to avoid drilling close to the edge of tiles, drill in the middle of the tiles or in the tile joints.

1. Position the assembled riser rail on the wall, bearing in mind the different heights of people likely to use the shower and the length of the hose when connected to the shower.
   With the riser rail vertical, mark the wall bracket positions onto the wall.
   Release the slider handle and remove the slider and wall brackets from the rail.
   

2. Position the wall bracket fixings in the marked positions against the wall, ensuring they are vertically in line  with each other and mark the centres of the fixing holes onto the wall.
   Drill suitable holes and insert the wall plugs. Securely attach the wall bracket fixings to the wall using the screws.
   
   REMEMBER
   Check for any hidden pipes and cables before drilling!

3. Insert the rail clamps into both wall brackets, ensuring the screw is accessible.
   

4. Push the riser rail up through the bottom wall bracket.
   Push the slider down onto the riser, ensuring it is correct way up.
   Then push the top wall bracket down onto the riser rail.
   

5. Centre the riser rail within the wall brackets and tighten both clamps onto the rail.

6. Slide the wall brackets over the wall bracket fixings. Tighten the grub screw on the under side of each wall bracket using a 2.5mm hexagonal key
   

7. Screw the shower hose (ribbed nut end) onto the shower ensuring that the rubber washer is fitted and feed the hose through the hose retainer.

8. Your shower is now ready to be commissioned for first use.

Commissioning – Testing the System

With the front cover removed ensure the black ‘purge/shower’ switch inside the base is switched  to purge. This enables water to flow without the pump running which is necessary in the following commissioning process.

Fit the front cover as shown in ‘Prior to Installation’.

Push the temperature control knob onto the spindle with the marker pointing to the ‘12 o’clock’ position.

Connect the shower hose to the unit but do not fit the handset.

Turn on the hot and cold isolating valves, and the electricity-isolating switch. Place the open end of the hose in the bath or shower tray.

Set the temperature control knob to fully cold (marker at ‘6 o’clock’ position) and press the ‘stop/ start’ button. The pump will not operate but the water should run.

Cold water will run from the hose, and you should allow this to continue for two minutes after which the control knob should be returned to the ‘12 o’clock’ position. Allow the water to run for a few minutes to stabilise the hot water flow.

Turn off the electricity at the isolating switch and remove the knob and cover. Switch the black ‘purge/shower’ switch to shower and refit the cover and knob ensuring the marker on the knob points to the ‘12 o’clock’ position.

Turn on the electricity at the isolating switch.

Pass the hose through the hole in the front of the soap dish and refit the handset.

Your shower is now ready to run. Press the stop/ start button on the front cover to operate the shower, which will work as a power shower.

It is intended that the temperature knob aligned to the ‘12 o’clock’ position you should get a comfortable shower temperature. If however the shower is too hot or cold remove the control knob and adjust the brass spindle anti- clockwise to increase the temperature – clockwise to decrease. When the desired shower temperature is achieved replace the knob with the marker pointing to the ‘12 o’clock’ position.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Do not at anytime use bath cleaning liquids, powders or specified scratch cleaners on any surface finishes. In order to avoid surface wear or chemical attack on any of your shower fittings when cleaning, always use a damp cloth.

For persistent stains or marks, you may use domestic liquid or soap.

The hardness of the water in your area will determine how often you should clean your shower head. Build up of scale in particularly hard water areas combined with constant use means you may need to clean your shower head once a week.

To ensure continued performance of your electric shower the shower head needs to be regularly de-scaled.

Temperature Adjustment

The valve allows the maximum showering temperature to be set at a safe level, preventing accidental scalding.

This setting should be made during commissioning and will require that the hot water cylinder is at its normal operating temperature.

IMPORTANT
The handset must be in spray mode.

We recommend reading the ‘Operating the Shower’ section before proceeding further.

Turn the brass mixer valve spindle fully clockwise, and then anti-clockwise until the black line on the spindle is aligned with the groove on the mixer body, and fit the control knob in the fully cold position. Check that it is correctly fitted by turning fully clockwise to the stop, pull the knob off and check that the black line and groove are aligned. Adjust if necessary. This sets the shower temperature to 38-40°C, with the control knob pointing to ‘12 o’clock’, if the stored hot water is at the recommended 60°C.

IMPORTANT

Before carrying out general repairs or testing the shower, ensure that the electricity supply is turned off at the mains and the correct circuit fuse is removed.
