The Zip water boiler wall mounted is a versatile and efficient appliance designed to provide instant boiling water for a variety of applications, from making hot beverages to cooking and cleaning. With its sleek and compact design, the Zip water boiler can be easily installed on the wall, saving valuable counter space in your kitchen or office.
Installation Requirements for a Zip Water Boiler Wall Mounted
To ensure a successful and safe installation of a Zip water boiler wall mounted, there are several key requirements that must be met:
Qualified Installation
The Zip water boiler must be installed by a suitably qualified person, such as a licensed plumber or electrician, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all relevant plumbing and electrical regulations. Improper installation can lead to water leaks, electrical hazards, or other safety issues.
Power Supply
The Zip water boiler requires a dedicated 10-amp power supply within 1 meter of the installation location. This power supply must be installed by a qualified electrician and comply with local electrical codes.
Water Availability
The Zip water boiler must be connected to a reliable water source, typically a cold water supply line. The water connection must be made using a 12.7mm BSP (British Standard Pipe) fitting.
Stone Bench Cutting
If the Zip water boiler is to be installed on a stone or solid surface countertop, the installer may need to cut a hole in the surface to accommodate the unit’s dimensions and water connections.
Installation Over Font or Sink
When installing the Zip water boiler, it’s important to determine if the unit will be placed over a font (drinking fountain) or sink. This will affect the positioning and water connections required.
Cabinetry Space
Ensure that there is sufficient space available in the cabinetry or wall cavity to accommodate the Zip water boiler’s dimensions, as specified in the product installation guide. This will allow for proper airflow and access for maintenance.
Hard Water Areas
In areas with hard water, where mineral scale buildup is a common issue, it’s recommended to install a high-capacity water filtration or softening system. This will help maintain the Zip water boiler’s performance and extend its lifespan.
Troubleshooting and Fixing Slow Water Flow Issues
If you experience slow water flow from your Zip water boiler wall mounted, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
Check Water Pressure
Ensure that the water pressure feeding the Zip water boiler is within the recommended range of 70kPa to 500kPa. Low water pressure can significantly impact the flow rate.
Inspect Water Connection
Verify that the water connection to the Zip water boiler is secure and that the 12.7mm BSP fitting is properly installed. Any leaks or loose connections can restrict water flow.
Filter Maintenance
The Zip water boiler is equipped with a 0.2-micron MicroPurity™ filtration system to remove impurities and prevent clogging. Regularly clean and maintain this filter to ensure optimal water flow.
Check for Mineral Scale Buildup
In hard water areas, mineral scale can accumulate within the Zip water boiler, reducing the water flow. Consider installing a water softening system to mitigate this issue and maintain the unit’s performance.
