DOMESTIC HOT WATER SYSTEM DESIGN
Copper tubing or plastic Hep
the domestic hot water system. Unnecessary
pressure losses should be avoided.
A flow restrictor limiting the flow through the boiler
to a maximum of 16 l/min is fitted to the boiler.
The boiler will operate with a minimum supply
pressure of 0,7 bar, but under reduced flow rate.
Best operating comfort will be obtained from a sup-
ply pressure of 1 bar.

'Hard Water Areas'
In areas where the water is 'hard', more than
200mg/litre, it is recommended that a proprietary
scale reducer is fitted in the cold water supply to
the boiler.
