SHOWERS, BIDETS, TAPS AND MIXERS
Any taps and mixers used with your system must be suitable
for operating at mains pressure.
For a shower it is recommended that you fit a
thermostatically-controlled shower valve, as this will give added
safety by protecting against excessive water temperatures.
Mains-fed hot and cold water can be supplied direct to an
over-rim flushing bidet, subject to local water bye laws.
If a loose shower head with a flexible hose is to be used over
the bath, the hose must be fixed so that the head cannot fall closer
than 25mm (1 inch) above the top edge of the bath, so preventing
its immersion in bath water. Alternatively, the shower must
incorporate or be fitted with an anti-syphonage device at the point
of the flexible hose connections.
HOT AND COLD FLOW
The flow of water from your hot and cold taps depends on the
mains water pressure, and in some homes it might not be possible
to operate several taps simultaneously. To ensure an even
distribution of water to all outlets in the home, you can fit
individual flow regulators to the supply pipes.
USER OPERATING SWITCH
Your boiler facia panel is supplied with a user operating
switch as standard, although this may have been replaced with the
optional facia mounted electronic programmer or a remote
programmer.
If ‘HOT WATER’ only is selected
The boiler will keep the Heatslave tank at the temperature set
on the hot water control thermostat.
Whenever a tap or shower is turned on, the burner will ignite
and water will be pumped through the water to water heat
exchanger to provide hot water.
