Planning your Installation
Step 1 - Locate the rising main.
If you don’t already know where this is it could be anywhere within the property.
There will always be one outside, but we are looking for the one inside which is the
point where the water enters the property before it branches off anywhere else.
This could be in the basement, garage, utility room, under stairs, under the kitchen
sink or somewhere else. The mains incoming stopcock usually has a yellow and
green earthing cable attached to it. If you are planning on installing this product
yourself, please make sure you know where the mains stop tap is in the street and
have the mains stop tap key if needed. In rare cases there can be more than one
entry point and some apartments have communal hot water, providing a cold water
and a hot water entry point. If this applies to you then please contact us.
Once you have located where your internal stopcock is and where the cold pipe
goes before it branches off around the property then you can plan where you are
going to install the MaxiSOFT. Installation can occur at any suitable point before
the pipe branches off.
It can be plumbed directly onto the cold water supply to the property, protecting the
whole hot water system, or to an individual appliance.
Dimensions
Once you have located the area where
the MaxiSOFT will be fitted check to
make sure you have enough room.
Please allow at least two inches of
clearance from the bottom of the
system to the floor to allow enough
space to drop the bowl down when
taking it on and off to refill with media.
Install with the media bowl in a vertical position and if appropriate consider
bypassing the garden tap.
Do not install with an incoming water temperature exceeding 50 ⁰C
H - 210 mm
D - 140 mm
W - 90 mm
