T&P Valve Check I) INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this storage booster tank. Properly installed and maintained, it will provide years of trouble free service. Inspect the relief valve annually to ensure proper operation. This involves opening the valve to check that it is flowing freely and that there are no blockages and letting it snap shut (see “MAINTENANCE” section).

tenance and service must be provided. Water lines and the storage tank should be protected from freezing temperatures. Do not install the storage tank in outdoor unprotected areas. It is desirable to have a floor drain nearby to permit easy draining if necessary. WARNING The water heating source piping and components connected to the tank must be suitable for potable water use. TOXIC chemicals such as used for boiler treatment must not be introduced into the tank.

tem, check valves must be installed to prevent the circulator from pumping hot water into another tank and overheating it. 8. The use of a pressure regulator is optional, but recommended when the cold supply pressure is over 80 psi. Reducing the inlet pressure to 45-60 psi will reduce probability of relief valve discharge by thermal expansion. 9. The water utility supply meter may contain a check valve, back-flow preventer or water pressure reducing valve. This will create a closed water system.

IV) OPERATION V) MAINTENANCE 1. Follow boiler or heat source installation and operating instructions. 2. Fill the tank (see “FILLING” section). 3. The boiler or water heating source should be set to provide at least 11°C (20°F) higher water temperature than the temperature setting of the storage tank 4. Turn power on, check for proper operation of boiler and storage tank.

Draining and Flushing Anode Maintenance Some service work to be performed on the tank requires the tank to be drained. It is also recommended that the tank be drained and flushed every 6 months to remove any sediment and lime which may build up in the bottom of the tank during operation. Such buildup can result in noisy operation. To drain the tank: 1. Turn "OFF" the electrical supply to the tank. 2. Close the cold water supply valve. 3. Open a nearby hot water faucet served by the system. 4.
