Electrical
The Zip Hydroboil must be connected in accordance with current South African wiring regulations. 15 litre models to be connected to a 15 amp GPO, 220-240V AC 50 Hz within 1500 mm. For 25 and 50 litre models, isolating the switch in fixed wiring and attaching to a secure surface is required within 1500mm of system. The switch must provide all-pole disconnection with contact separation of at least 3mm. For concealed electrical connection, connect cable from the rear directly to internal terminal block.
Plumbing for the Zip Hydroboil
The Zip Hydroboil must be installed by a qualified plumber in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and South African plumbing regulations. Designed for direct connection to a potable cold water supply with minimum pressure of 70 kPa; maximum 600 kPa. If static pressure exceeds 600 kPa, a pressure reducing valve must be fitted. An isolating valve should be installed between the water supply and the system.
Maintenance in hard-water areas
In areas where hard water may occur, such as in the eastern and southern coastal regions of South Africa, the product lifespan could be reduced due to build-up of scale. Regular de-scaling should be carried out by a Zip Hydroboil service provider every 6 to 12 months depending on the severity of the conditions.
