Water analysis shows whether water is hard or soft. Hard water, unless treated, will cause scaling or liming of the heat exchanger. The rate of scaling increases with temperature and usage because calcium carbonate and other scaling compounds lose solubility (fall out of solution) at higher temperatures. For example, for every 20°F over 140°F, the rate of scale increases by a factor of 2 (See figure below). Reference target water quality levels found in the operation / installation manual and co

Consult the instruction manual before changing temperatures. WARNING: TURN OFF ALL ELECTRIC POWER BEFORE SERVICING 13 Valves for reducing point of use temperature by mixing cold and hot water are available. Also available are inexpensive devices that attach to faucets to limit hot water temperatures.

The flue pipe should rise for at least 50 cm. vertically before the inclusion of any bends. If a horizontal run of flue is required this should be kept to the minimum lenght possible and incorporate a rise of 6 cm. per metre of run. A split clip or flange should be provided in the flue close to the draught diverter for ease of servicing. All flue materials should be corrosion resident i.e. stainless steel or galvanised and must include a tested and apprved terminal to BS 5440 part 1. If the flue
