Make Up Water
Provision must be made for replacing water lost from the sealed system. Reference should be made
to BS6798, for methods of filling and making up sealed systems. There must be no direct connection
between the boiler's central heating system and the mains water supply. The use of mains water to
charge and pressurise the system directly, is conditional upon the Local Water Byelaws. Again any such
connection must be disconnected after use. The supplied temporary filling loop is shown in fig. 4. Ensure
the filling point is on the return pipe to the boiler.
Attention - is drawn to the Model Water Byelaws.
Fittings manufactured from duplex (alpha-beta) brass are not acceptable for underground use and certain
water undertakings will not accept their use above ground.

Filling the boiler and the system
The filling pressure, when the system is cold, must be around 1 bar (at least 0.5 bar). If the pressure
drops during operation to a value lower than the minimum described above, the User must restore the
initial value using the filling loop. For correct boiler operation, the pressure, when hot, must be around
1,5-2 bar. Once the operation is completed, always close the filling loop. This device is fitted to the
system by the installer.
