Cover the pipe end when inserting it through a wall, to
prevent dust and/or particles entering the pipe.
Use a decent thread sealant to seal connections.
For safety reasons, it is NOT allowed to add any kind of glycol to
the water circuit.
To avoid stagnation of water, it is important that the storage
capacity of the domestic hot water tank meets the daily
consumption of domestic hot water.
In cases where during longer periods of time there is no
consumption of hot water, the equipment must be flushed with
fresh water before usage.
The disinfection function provided on the equipment is specified
in the operation manual of the indoor unit.
It is recommended to avoid long runs of piping between the
domestic hot water tank and the hot water end point (shower,
bath,...) and to avoid dead ends.
The installation must be in compliance with the applicable
legislation and may require additional hygienic installation
measures.
In accordance with the applicable legislation, it may be
necessary to install thermostatic mixing valves.
Immediately after installation, the domestic hot water tank must
be flushed with fresh water. This procedure must be repeated at
least once a day the first 5 consecutive days after installation.
In accordance with the applicable legislation, it may be required
to connect a recirculation pump in between the hot water end
point and the recirculation connection of the domestic hot water
tank.

6.2.2 Formula to calculate the expansion vessel
pre-pressure
The pre-pressure (Pg) of the vessel depends on the installation
height difference (H):
Pg=0.3+(H/10) (bar)

6.2.3 To check the water volume

The indoor unit has an expansion vessel of 10 litre with a factory set
pre-pressure of 1 bar.
To make sure that the unit operates properly:
You must check the minimum and maximum water volume.
You might need to adjust the pre-pressure of the expansion
vessel.
Minimum water volume
Check that the total water volume in the installation is minimum
20 liter, the internal water volume of the indoor unit NOT included.
INFORMATION
In critical processes, or in rooms with a high heat load,
extra water might be required.
NOTICE
When circulation in each space heating loop is controlled
by remotely controlled valves, it is important that the
minimum water volume is guaranteed, even if all of the
valves are closed.
