COMMISSIONING YOUR POWERSTREAM
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
• Let the water run through the unit for a few seconds.
• Close the outlet and check that no pipe joints leak.
ADJUSTING THE SERVICE VALVE
• If the unit is to supply a basin:
- Turn on the hot water tap fully at the basin.
- Turn the service valve on slowly until the neon illuminates on the product (max temperature).
- Adjust the service valve until the water comes out of the tap at the required
temperature. Allowing for the temperature of the water to settle after each adjustment.
- Check that the unit works correctly when the basin tap is closed and then opened
again: if not, adjust the service valve slightly.
• If the unit is to supply a shower,
- Turn the hot water tap on the mixer unit fully on.
- Turn the service valve clockwise until the neon light goes out, then turn it back until
the neon just comes on.
- Check the water temperature at the handset and, if necessary, turn the cold tap on and
adjust to get the desired shower temperature.
YOU MUST REGULARLY INSPECT THE SHOWER HOSE FOR WEAR AND DAMAGE.
REPLACE IF NECESSARY.
TO MAINTAIN THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR SHOWER, YOU MUST
DESCALE THE SHOWER HANDSET REGULARLY.
All water contains particles of lime-scale, which build up in the shower handset and unit reducing the
performance. It is therefore important to clean the shower handset by simply rubbing the rubber
nozzles or soaking in proprietary lime-scale remover and rinsing thoroughly before use. The frequency
of this will depend on water hardness and experience.
The hot water tap should be turned fully on, at all times i.e. every use , so
that the unit will operate correctly. Restricting the flow may cause the unit
to cut out.
The water heater must be mounted on a vertical wall or surface and positioned
with water connections as shown in Diagram 2b.
The unit should be connected directly to the main cold water supply and not to
pre-heated water. The unit should be installed with service valves on the inlet.
These valves can be used to turn off the water supply to the unit if it needs
servicing, or to reduce the water flow if it is too high.
