Maintenance
Modifications should not be made to this
product. Replacement parts, including
immersion heaters,should be purchased from
Gledhill Building Products Limited, or agents
approvedbythem.Unventedhotwaterstorage
vessels need regular routine checks,and these
aredetailedbelow. Itisforthisreasonthatthis
manual must always be left with the Stainless
Lite.
It is essential that these checks be carried out
atthetimeofboilermaintenancebyaqualified
installer:
1. Manually open the relief valves in turn,and
check that water is discharged from the
valves and runs freely through the tundish
and out at the discharge point. Ensure that
the valves re-seat satisfactorily. (Note - the
water may be very hot).
2. It is important to check that the discharge
pipework is carrying the water away
adequately. Check for blockages etc. if it is
not.
3. Turn the mains water off and remove and
clean the strainer element in the Pressure
ReducingValve.
4. Checkthechargepressureintheexpansion
vessel and repressurise if required
5. Re-fill the system and ensure that all relief
valves have re-seated.
6. The Benchmark log book supplied should
be updated at each service.
7. Check the water pressure downstream of
the combination valve is 2.25 bar in static
condition.
8. Check and if necessary, descale the heat
exchanger in hard water areas ie. above
200ppm (mg/l).
