LOCATION - GENERAL
• Access: For emergencies and maintenance the pump must be
easily accessible.
• Protection: The iMatic must be located in a dry, frost free area.
The iMatic must not be installed in a loft space.
• Ventilation: Ensure an adequate air flow to cool the iMatic.
Separate the iMatic from other appliances that generate heat.
• Water retention: Site the unit in a location where in the unlikely
event of a water leak, any spillage is contained or routed to avoid
electrics or areas sensitive to water damage.
• Supply inlet pressure: The water supply inlet pressure must be
lower than 7 bar; lower supply inlet pressures will reduce the tank
fill rate and reduce the time the iMatic will run at higher flow rates
before running out of stored water.
• Ambient temperature: The iMatic must be sited in a location
where the ambient temperature does not exceed 30
• Pipework: For optimum performance outlet pipework must be 22
mm pipe. Pipework should only reduce to 15 mm when entering
terminal fittings.
• Static outlet pressure: The static outlet head must also be within
the maximum requirement of 15 metres (vertically above the
appliance).
• Isolating valves: Separate system isolating valves (non restrictive)
must be fitted to allow easy pump service. Isolating valves must
be mounted where specified to allow the system isolation and
removal of the iMatic if needed.
• Preferred iMatic location: The preferred iMatic location is on a
smooth level floor of sufficient strength to support the filled
weight of the iMatic close to the water source and a suitable
overflow position (see Section 11 - Technical Specification for
filled weight).
The iMatic must not be installed in a loft space.
It must also be considered that the noise and vibration from the
iMatic may be transmitted through the structure the iMatic is
sited on.
