The integrated insulation provides thermal efficiency, helping to maintain the water temperature and reduce heat loss.
Regular visual inspections of fittings and the tank are recommended. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Interior cleaning should follow standard procedures if water quality issues arise.
Check that the mains water supply is on and that the inlet valve is open. Ensure the ballvalve is correctly positioned and not obstructed.
Inspect the ballvalve and float. Ensure the float is correctly attached and moving freely. Check for any debris on the valve seat that might prevent a proper seal.
Carefully tighten the relevant compression fitting or valve. If the leak persists, check the seals and consider replacing the faulty component. Ensure correct use of PTFE tape or sealant if applicable.
Verify that the tank is not located near a heat source or in an area exposed to extreme cold. Ensure the insulation is intact and properly fitted.

Full fitting instructions are provided to guide the installation process. Ensure the installation location is level and can support the weight of the tank when full. The tank requires connection to the mains water supply and the domestic water system.
Compatibility: This tank is designed for general domestic water storage. Ensure compatibility with your existing plumbing system, particularly the pipe sizes specified for the connectors.
Care: Regularly inspect the tank and fittings for any signs of wear or leakage. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. The interior should only require cleaning if water quality issues arise, following standard water tank cleaning procedures. Check the ballvalve and float mechanism periodically to ensure proper operation.
