WATER REQUIREMENTS

The installation must be in accordance

with Water Regulations / Byelaws.

WARNING: Under no circumstances

must this Aqua 9000 XP pumped

shower be connected directly to the

mains water supply.

To ensure activation of the heating

elements, the shower must be connected

to a Cold water supply which is gravity fed

from a static Cold water storage cistern

with a minimum capacity of 114 litres

(25 galls).

There must be a maximum head of water

of 10 metres (33ft) and a minimum head

of 8 cm (3") as measured between the

Bottom of the cistern and the top of the

shower unit. There must be no other Cold

water draw offs between the cistern and

the unit and the pipe must not supply

water to any other tap or fitting at a lower

level.

NOTE: The supply pipe from the cistern

should be on the opposite side to the float

operated valve to prevent air being drawn

into the pipe when the cistern is filling.

If it is intended to operate the shower in

hard water areas (above 200 ppm

temporary hardness) a scale inhibitor

should be fitted.

Fig.2 shows a typical system layout. Do

not use jointing compounds on any pipe

fittings for the installation.
