Water drainage

If only a cold water supply is available, connect the two hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a «Y» connection piece.

Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ requirements.

The appliance must be given a separate cold water supply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single outlet water heater or a booster pump. A minimum water pressure of 0.48 bar is required for safe operation of the appliance.

If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appliance from your cold water storage system.

There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m

(16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.

There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water supply, providing there is a minimun height of 2.74 metres (9 ft) between the bottom of the cold water storage tank and the bottom of the hot water cylinder.

Set the hoses correctly by loosening the ring nuts. After positioning the inlet hoses, be sure to tighten the ring nuts again to prevent leaks.

This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's water supply and drainage system.

The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece” supplied.

The standpipe should have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.

When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the curve in the hose end is no more than 90cm (35.4'') and no less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level. The upright standpipe should have a minimum length of 30cm (12'') from the bottom of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see diagram).

Make sure that it is designed in such a way, that the end of the drain hose cannot be covered with water.
