All cylinders are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of BS EN 12897
The tundish must be positioned so that it is visible to the occupant and is away from
electrical devices.
Components supplied with Aquarea:
• Cold water inlet PRV combination valve/expansion relief
• Pressure and temperature relief valve
• Control thermostat
• Energy cut-out thermostat
• Energy cut-out motorised valve (indirects only)
• Tundish
• 3kW Immersion heater including control and cut out thermostats
• Expansion vessel/mounting bracket/flexible hose
• Technical/user product literature
In any situation where the volume of heated pipework (eg. secondary circulation
pipes or manifold pipework for multiple units) exceeds 10 litres, then an
additional expansion vessel must be fitted to accommodate the extra expansion
volume.
Handling Before Installation
Aquarea must be handled with care and stored the correct way up in a dry place.
Any manual handling/lifting operations will need to comply with the requirements
of the Manual Handling Operations Regulations issued by the H.S.E. The appliance
can be moved using a sack truck on the rear face although care should be taken and
the route should be even. In apartment buildings containing a number of storeys we
would recommend that the appliances are moved vertically in a mechanical lift. If it is
proposed to use a crane, expert advice should be obtained regarding the need for
slings, lifting beams etc.
A specific manual handling assessment is shown in Appendix B at the rear of this
manual.
The Environment
This product has been manufactured using many recyclable materials, including the
approved HCFC/CFC free polyurethane foam insulation. At the end of its useful life, it
should be disposed of at a Local Authority Recycling Centre, to maximise the products
full environmental benefits.
Maintenance
Modifications should not be made to this
product. Replacement par ts, including
12 bar
3 bar immersion heaters, should be purchased
from Aquarea, or agents approved by them.

any other purpose or removed.
The cylinder is factory fitted with immersion
heaters with thermal cut outs. Immersions
without thermal cut outs must not be fitted.
