8 COMMISSIONING
8.11 System check: Ensure that the electrical supply to the pump is switched off
before opening the mains water supply stopcock and checking for leaks.
8.12 Check vessel pre-charge pressure:
It is important to have the correct pre-charge pressure in the vessel for your site
conditions to optimise performance. The vessel is supplied with a pre-charge
pressure of approximately 1.4 bar, and should never have a preset pressure of
less than 0.5 bar.
Checking and adjustment to the vessel pre-charge air pressure can only be
carried out when the vessel is empty (contains no water).
8.13 Check mains static pressure:
z Now close outlets and check pressure gauge after ‘Y’ strainer - for static
mains pressure and note it. This should be done at peak times of use.
z Turn stopcock off and leave outlet taps open.
8.14 Check the chart below for the correct vessel pressure against the static mains
pressure recorded.
Using a pressure gauge check the vessel and adjust to suit through the schrader
valve.
Warning: Note PRV setting must not exceed 5.0 bar.
