1.3 SYSTEM DETAILS

Hot and Cold Water System

General

A  schematic  layout  of  the  hot  and  cold  water  services  in  a  typical  small  dwelling 
is shown below.  BoilerMate 2000 will operate at mains pressures as low as 1 bar 
and as high as 5 bar although the recommended range is 2-3 bar.    If the manifolds 
(available  as  an  optional  extra)  are  being  used  the  inlet  pressure  to  the  manifold 
must be a minimum of 2 bar.   It is also important to check that all other equipment 
and components in the hot and cold water system are capable of accepting the mains 
pressure available to the property.   If the mains pressure can rise above 5 bar or the 
maximum working pressure of any item of equipment or component to be fitted in 
the system a pressure limiting (reducing) valve set to 3 bar will be required.

Note

:  Each BoilerMate 2000 is fitted with a strainer and flow regulator on the cold 

mains supply connection.  If the supply pressure is less than 2 bar or if the manifolds 
(available as an optional extra) are being used or if all taps are provided with flow 
regulators the flow regulator on the cold inlet should be removed.

No check valve or similar device should be fitted on the cold water supply branch 
to the BoilerMate 2000.

Because  of  the  innovative  method  of  hot  water  production  no  scale  reducer  is 
required on the branch to the appliance.  However, to comply with the Benchmark 
Guidance Note for Water Treatment in Heating and Hot Water Systems the installer 
should check the hardness level of the water supply and if necessary fit a scale reducer 
to provide protection to the whole of the domestic water system.

The hot water flow rate from the BoilerMate 2000 is directly related to the adequacy 
of  the  cold  water  supply  to  the  dwelling.   This  must  be  capable  of  providing

for  those  services,  which  could  be  required 
to  be  supplied  simultaneously,  and  this 
maximum demand should be calculated using 
procedures defined in BS 6700.

If  a  water  meter  is  fitted  in  the  service  pipe, 
it should have a nominal rating to match the 
maximum hot and cold water peak demands 
calculated in accordance with BS 6700.   This 
could be up to 80ltr/min in some properties.
