    -15°C (if the adjustment is set at 0). If the adjustment is set at +5, the temperature will be 55°C instead. At all temperatures out, the curve is increased with 5°C, i.e. the curve is displaced in parallel by 5°C. CTC EcoZenith I 550...

  • Page 9: Hot Water

    Hot water The CTC EcoZenith I 550 has a total of approx. 40 m finned copper coils for the heating of hot water. They preheat the water through the lower tank and thereafter run through the upper tank for the final temperature increase. It is two coils running parallel through the tanks, which allow for high flows with low pressure differential and provide great possibilities for good hot water capacity and comfort.
  • Page 10 ◗ Avoid running hot water with the highest capacity. If you run a bath somewhat slower instead, you get a higher temperature. ◗ Remember that a poor mixing valve by the EcoZenith or a poor shower mixer can affect the hot water temperature. CTC EcoZenith I 550...

    Fault Tracing/Appropriate Measures The CTC EcoZenith I 550 is designed to provide reliable service and high comfort and also to have a long life length. Here are some tips that may be helpful if any operation errors occur. Should a fault occur, always contact the installation engineer who did the installation.
  • Page 70 The fault is not in the CTC EcoZenith I 550, and the problem can be easily rectified by replacing the mixer with a soft-closing one. In the case of noise from hard closing dishwashers and washing machines, this can be rectified with a pressure surge damper, which is also a viable alternative to soft closing taps/mixers.
