HOT WATER STORAGE TANK
2.2.1
INSTALLATION LOCATION
• The storage tank must be installed at ground or floor
level and must stand vertically upright, as per the
manufacturers guidelines.
• Tanks must be secured on a concrete or plastic
mounting slab as shown in Figure 1 below.
• The storage tank should be located as close as possible
to the most frequent hot water draw off points in the
building, such as the bathroom or kitchen. If the storage
tank is located a long way from hot water draw points, a
hot water circulation loop on a timer should be
considered to reduce the time-lag for water to reach the
tap. Please note, this is not supplied by Reclaim Energy,
the installing plumber can provide advice and consider
installing a ring main system for hot water circulation.
• The tank should not obstruct any windows, doors or
exits. Clearances must be provided to make servicing
and maintenance convenient without the need for a
ladder or scaffolding.
• For servicing, the PTRV must be easily accessible.
