The installation must be in accordance with
Water Regulations/Bylaws.
To ensure activation of the heating elements,
the shower must be connected to a mains
water supply with a minimum running pressure
of 100kPa (1.0 bar) at a minimum flow rate
of nine litres per minute for the 9.5kW rated
model.
The maximum static pressure must be no
greater than 1000kPa (10 bar).
If in any doubt, the pressure should be
checked.
Note: If the stated flow rate is not available, it
may not be possible to achieve optimum per-
formance from the unit throughout the year.
During periods of high ambient temperatures it
may be necessary to select a low power setting
to achieve your preferred shower temperature.
The water supply can be taken from a cold
water storage cistern provided there is a mini-
mum head of ten metres. Minimum head is the
vertical distance from the base of the cistern
to the showerhead. It must be an independent
supply to the shower only.
If it is intended to operate the shower at
pressures above the maximum or below the
minimum stated, contact Triton Customer
Service for advice.
(Fig.) shows a typical system layout.
Do not use jointing compounds on any pipe
fittings for the installation.
