However always observe the following recommendations:-
1.
Avoid inhalation of fibres or dust, wear face mask.
2.
Avoid eye contamination by fibres or dust - wear eye
protection.
3.
As far as possible avoid any skin contact with Fibreglass
Insulation, Glass Rope, Mineral Wool, Insulation Pads and

Ceramic Fibre.
As Electrastream Plus is a sealed system,
the pressure at the taps is not affected by
the height of the cold water storage.
In pursuance of a policy of constant development, GAH (HEATING PRODUCTS) LIMITED
reserve the right to change Electrastream parts or design without notice, therefore
certain details included in this manual may not be correct at the time of printing. Any

4-3.4 Hot Water Expansion Vessel
An Expansion Vessel is supplied for the hot water system, this should be fitted to the
combination valve which has a ¾”" BSP port provided for this. The expansion vessel
must always be open to the system with NO shut off or isolation valves in the connection
pipe.
Clearance is required on top of the vessel to access the pressure valve.
It is the responsibility of the installer to set the correct pre-charge pressure of the vessel.

4-3.5 Accumulator (Electrastream Plus only)
The accumulator may be installed at any convenient location within the property,
outhouse, garage, loft or basement. For optimum efficiency this should be fitted furthest
from the incoming mains supply.
The accumulator should be installed vertically.
The floor must give adequate support to the filled accumulator.
Accumulators must have frost protection when they are installed where low temperatures
could be a potential problem - see 1-4.7.
Note that space is required to the top of the vessel to access the pressure valve.
Provision must be made to enable the accumulator to be drained when required.
IMPORTANT The accumulator is supplied at 2 Bar pressure. It is
recommended to set the pressure at 1.5 Bar below the mains pressure
with a minimum of 0.8 Bar - see 5-1.2.
4-3.6 Scale Protection
IMPORTANT All installations should have a scale protection device fitted
and in areas known to have hard water, a water softening device is
strongly recommended. The cylinder is not guaranteed against damage
caused by scale. Higher water temperatures of 65°C and above can
cause excessive scale.
GAH recommend and promote the use of scale prevention devices and water softeners in
areas that are known to have hard water. Installed correctly they prolong the life of
equipment and help prevent limescale formation in the pipework. Water Softeners
provide the advantages of soft water, as well as preventing scale build up on taps and

Water softeners and any mains fed system must be of adequate capacity and should be
installed with suitably sized hoses to prevent any possibility of flow reduction.
The location and position of the Scale Protection Device or Water Softener should be as
the manufacturers recommendations.
