8.3 BEFORE RUNNING THE UNIT
1) Let the unit rest for 1 hour after is has been moved into position.
2) Check that the tank is full of water and has been completely purged of air.
3) Check that the unit is correctly wired in to the mains power from a suitable MCB and
is protected by an RCD.
4) When the water tank is full, press the ON\OFF key to start the unit.
9.0 MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CYLINDER
To ensure the continued optimum performance of the Ecocent, it should be regularly
maintained. This is of particular importance in hard water areas or where the water supply
contains particulate matter. Maintenance should be carried out by a suitably qualified
plumber/engineer and any replacement parts used must only be supplier recommended spare
parts. It is recommended that maintenance is carried out every 12 months on the cylinder and includes the
checks detailed in this manual. If you are in a hard water area, you should check the magnesium anode
deterioration within 6 months of commissioning of the unit and annually 12 months after. You will be able
to see the rate at which deterioration is happening and set a date for a full inspection when it is clear that a
new magnesium anode is likely to be needed. Keeping a functioning magnesium anode is critical to the
longevity of the unit. If you run the unit without the anode you will invalidate the warranty/guarantee and
the stainless steel cylinder may be seriously damaged.
In hard water areas consideration should be given to periodically descaling the immersion
heater element. To do this the unit will need to be drained.
Please check the condition of the sacrificial magnesium anode on any
servicing/maintenance and fit a new anode, if required.
9.1 Checking the operation of the Safety Valves
Slowly open the Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve by twisting its cap for a few seconds.
Check water is discharged and that it flows freely through the tundish and discharge
pipework. Check valve reseats correctly when released.
Warning : The water discharged may be very hot.
Repeat the procedure for the Expansion Relief Valve (located on the Cold Water Combination Valve
or Expansion Valve Core Unit).
9.2 Cleaning the Strainer
The in-line strainer must be cleaned periodically by a suitably qualified engineer. The in-
line strainer can be found inside the cold water combination group valve on unvented
systems or alternatively a Y strainer on open vented systems.
