Maintenance

CAUTION
Risk of burns
Escaping hot medium can cause burns.
• Maintain a sufficient distance from the escaping medium.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment (safety gloves and goggles).
8.1

Draining

Prior to maintenance, repair or removal from service, disconnect the tank from the drinking water pipe and drain. If necessary, drain the
heating register too.
Proceed as follows:
1. Close the shut-off valves.
– Drinking water pipe.
– If necessary, from the heater coil.
2. Fully empty the tank via the drainage cock.
8.2

Cleaning

The heat capacity of the tank will be reduced if the heater coil becomes scaled up. The amount of energy required and the heating times
are increased. A silty tank reduces the quality of the drinking water. The tank should be de-scaled at regular intervals and cleaned to
remove silt/sludge deposits. The levels of scale formation and silt deposits in a tank depend on the usage duration, the operating
temperature and the water hardness.
Proceed as follows:
1. Empty the tank, see chapter 8.1 "Draining" on page
2. Open the blind flange.
3. Clean the tank.
– Remove the sludge with water and a cloth.
4. Descale the heater coil.
5. If necessary replace the blind flange seal.
Note!
The quality of the heating water is subject to VDI 2035.
8.3

Recommissioning

Rinse the tank thoroughly with water after cleaning or after maintenance. Vent the individual water circuits.
8.4

Troubleshooting

Note!
Unusual noises arise due to expansion of the tank during the heating phase and are harmless.
Note!
There is no danger to health arising from the adverse odours and the dark colour of the heated drinking water.
