Thedomestic hot water (DHW) calorifier is incorporated within thecombi boiler and only requires connection to the mains watersupply.Additional Pumps.The boiler is supplied with an integral circulating pump. If theboiler is to be used in conjunction with any additionalcirculating pumps, please contact the Technical Helpline foradvice on application.IMPORTANTA minimum length of 1m of copper pipe MUST be fitted toboth flow and return connections from the boiler beforeconnection to any plastic piping.Ensure that the mains water supply pressure is adequate toprovide the required DHW flow rate. Refer to Table 1 onpage 4.The central heating system should be in accordance with BS.6798 and, in addition, for smallbore and microbore systemsBS. 5449.The domestic hot water system should be in accordance withBS. 5546 and BS. 6700.Copper tubing to BS 2871:1 is recommended for watercarrying pipework and MUST be used for pipework carryingpotable water.Any soldered joints on potable water pipework MUST NOT bemade with solder containing lead.Ancillary pipework not forming part of the useful heatingsurface should be lagged to prevent heat loss and anypossible freezing --- particularly where pipes run through roofspaces or ventilated underfloor spaces.Draining taps should be at least 1/2” BSP nominal size andbe in accordance with BS 2879.WATER TREATMENTCentral HeatingAntifreeze fluid, corrosion and scale inhibitor fluids suitable foruse with boilers having copper heat exchangers may be usedin the central heating system.IMPORTANTThe application of any other treatment to this productmay render the guarantee of Caradon Ideal LimitedINVALID.Caradon Ideal Limited recommend Water Treatment inaccordance with the Benchmark Guidance Notes on WaterTreatment in Central Heating Systems.Caradon Ideal Limited recommend the use of Fernox, GEBetz Sentinel or Salamander water treatment products, whichmust be used in accordance with the manufacturersinstructions.Notes.1. It is most important that the correct concentration of thewater treatment products is maintained in accordance withthe manufacturers’ instructions.2. If the boiler is installed in an existing system any unsuitableadditives MUST be removed by thorough cleansing.BS 7593:1992 details the steps necessary to clean adomestic heating system.3. In hard water areas, treatment to prevent lime scale may benecessary --- however, the use of artificially softened water isNOT permitted.4. Under no circumstances should the boiler be fired beforethe system has been thoroughly flushed.
