Pressure relief valve of the domestic hot water tank (field supply)
Open the valve.
CAUTION
Water coming out of the valve may be very hot.
▪ Check if nothing blocks the water in the valve or in between piping. The water
flow coming from the relief valve must be high enough.
▪ Check if the water coming out of the relief valve is clean. If it contains debris or
dirt:
- Open the valve until the discharged water does not contain debris or dirt
anymore.
- Flush and clean the complete tank, including the piping between the relief
valve and cold water inlet.
To make sure this water originates from the tank, check after a tank heat up cycle.
INFORMATION
It is recommended to perform this maintenance more than once a year.
Switch box
▪ Carry out a thorough visual inspection of the switch box and look for obvious
defects such as loose connections or defective wiring.
▪ Using an ohmmeter, check if contactors K1M, K2M, K3M and K5M (depending on
your installation) operate correctly. All contacts of these contactors must be in
open position when the power is turned OFF.
WARNING
If the internal wiring is damaged, it has to be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons.
Descaling
Depending on water quality and set temperature, scale can deposit on the heat
exchanger inside the domestic hot water tank and can restrict heat transfer. For
this reason, descaling of the heat exchanger may be required at certain intervals.
Chemical disinfection
If the applicable legislation requires a chemical disinfection in specific situations,
involving the domestic hot water tank, please be aware that the domestic hot
water tank is a stainless steel cylinder. We recommend to use a non-chloride based
disinfectant approved for use with water intended for human consumption.
NOTICE
When using means for descaling or chemical disinfection, make sure water quality
still complies with EU directive 2020/2184.
Pressure reducing valve
Depending on local water conditions, annual inspection of the integral line strainer,
pressure reducing valve cartridge and seating may be necessary.
