The Fusion Comet Electric Boiler User Manual provides detailed instructions and technical specifications for the installation, operation, and maintenance of this high-efficiency heating solution. This comprehensive guide covers everything from adjusting the water pressure to setting the desired boiler temperature, ensuring optimal performance and energy savings for your home or commercial space.
Adjusting Water Pressure
Recommended Water Pressure
The Fusion Comet boiler is designed to operate at a recommended water pressure of approximately 1.0 to 1.5 bar. Maintaining the proper water pressure is crucial for the boiler’s efficient and safe operation.
