Why should the system be filled in stages during the initial fill process?

• To allow the cistern to fill to capacity

• To ensure maximum pressure

• To allow checks for leaks

• To ensure the correct operation of valves

What is the purpose of filling an open vented system slowly and methodically?

• To check the pre-charge pressure in the expansion vessel

• To ensure maximum pressure and avoid airlocks

• To test the D1 and D2 valves

• To draw water from each hot outlet

Before filling an unvented system, what should be checked?

• The temperature of the water

• The pressure relief valves
