Common Questions
26 totalWhat do I do if during commissioning, my pressure relief device operates?
Ensure that the showerhead has been removed from the flexible hose and not placed inside any bathtubs or showers. Recommission unit properly with showerhead detached from outlet while flushing system thoroughly before reinstating showerhead; contact Customer Service for advice on replacing PRD if necessary (fig.9, page 20).
What is the minimum water pressure required for the T80 Easi Fit to operate correctly?
The minimum running pressure required is 100kPa (1.0 bar) at 8 litres per minute for both the 8.5kW and 9.5kW models. If water pressure falls below this minimum, the low pressure cut-out will operate, switching off power to the heating elements to prevent unsafe temperature rises. Water will continue to flow but no heating will occur until adequate pressure returns. (Page 2)
How do I commission the T80 Easi Fit for the first time?
Before switching on, set the power selector to 'COLD' and turn the temperature control fully clockwise to the 'MINIMUM' flow position, then attach the flexible hose but do NOT fit the showerhead. Turn on the water supply, then the electric supply, press the Start/Stop button, and slowly rotate the temperature control to MAXIMUM flow until a smooth stream of water is achieved — this flushes air and debris from the unit. Once flushing is complete, stop the shower and fit the showerhead before normal use. Failure to follow this procedure can cause the Pressure Relief Device (PRD) to operate and will invalidate the guarantee. (Page 15)
What should I do if the Pressure Relief Device (PRD) operates and water is ejected from the unit?
Turn off the electricity and water supplies to the shower immediately at the isolating switch and stopvalve. Common causes include a blocked showerhead, a twisted or blocked flexible hose, or failure to remove the showerhead during commissioning. You must identify and resolve the cause before fitting a new PRD, and then repeat the full commissioning procedure. (Pages 7, 21)
What does the low pressure indicator light mean on my T80 Easi Fit?
The low pressure indicator means the water pressure has fallen below the minimum level required for correct operation of the shower. When this happens, the low pressure cut-out switches off power to the heating elements to prevent excessive temperature rises, though water will continue to flow. Power to the elements will automatically be restored once adequate water pressure returns. (Page 18)
Why is the water from my T80 Easi Fit too hot, and how do I fix it?
Water that is too hot is usually caused by insufficient water flowing through the shower, a blockage in the supply, or an increase in ambient water temperature during warmer months. To fix this, increase the flow rate using the temperature control, check that stop valves are fully open, and inspect the inlet filter for blockages. You can also clean or replace a blocked sprayplate in the showerhead, or switch to the 'ECONOMY' power setting. (Pages 20)

######## COMMISSIONING
|WARNING Before normal operation of the shower, it is essential the following commissioning procedure is completed correctly.| |---|
COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE The first operation of the shower is intended to flush out any remaining unit debris, and to make sure the heater unit contains water before the elements are switched on.
This operation MUST be carried out WITH the flexible hose screwed to the outlet but WITHOUT THE SHOWERHEAD ATTACHED. Make sure the outlet of the flexible hose is directed to waste. IMPORTANT: Failure to turn the control to the minimum flow position MAY cause the PRD to operate.
The shower is now ready for normal operation.

######## To start the shower
|WARNING If restarting immediately after stopping, be aware that a slug of hot water will be expelled for the first few seconds.| |---|
To use the power selector The power selector has three positions - COLD, ECONOMY and HIGH.
Cold setting - single blue line.
• Cold: the cold setting does not provide any heat from the heater can to the incoming water.
######## Economy setting - single red line.
• Economy: uses only one of the elements
within the heater can. NOTE: If the stated flow rate required for the unit cannot be met due to low water pressure, it will be necessary to operate the unit on this setting during the warmer months because of flow rate limitations entering the unit.
High Setting - double red lines.
• High: uses both of the elements within the
heater can. IMPORTANT: it will take a few seconds for the temperature to stabilise once changes have been made.
To adjust the shower temperature Economy and High settings only
NOTE: The preferred knob position on ECONOMY will give a different temperature to the same position on HIGH.
######## To decrease the shower temperature
• Turn the temperature control anti-clockwise
######## To increase the shower temperature
• Turn the temperature control clockwise - this will decrease the flow of water through the shower and make the water hotter.
NOTE: It is advisable that the showering temperature is satisfactory by testing with your hand before stepping under the showerhead. There will always be a time delay of a few seconds between selecting a flow rate and the water reaching the stable temperature for that flow rate.

############ Fig.20
Low pressure indicator
Power ‘on’ indicator
####### OPERATING FUNCTIONS Power on indicator (fig.20)
When the electricity supply to the shower is switched on at the isolating switch, the neon in the START/STOP button will illuminate.
TP – Temperature Protection During normal operation if the temperature exceeds the showering safety limit the power to the elements will be removed completely, although water will continue to flow. When the temperature has cooled sufficiently, power to the elements will be automatically restored to the settings at the time of interruption.
Abnormal Safety cut-out The unit is fitted with a non-resettable thermal cut-out safety device. In the event of abnormal operation which could cause unsafe temperatures within the unit, the device will disconnect the heating elements. It will require a visit from a qualified engineer to determine the nature of the fault and replace the safety device, once the unit has been repaired.
Low pressure indicator If this indicator is on, this means the water pressure has fallen below the minimum required for correct operation of the shower, resulting in the low pressure cut-out operating. This switches off power to the heating elements preventing any undue temperature rises (water will continue to flow). Power will automatically be restored when adequate water pressure returns.
|NOTE: In normal use, it is in order to leave the water supply permanently on to the shower unit, but as with most electrical appliances, the unit MUST be switched off at the isolating switch when not in use.| |---|
CLEANING THE FILTER
Instructions for installers and service engineers onlyINSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLERS AND SERVICE ENGINEERS ONLYInstructions for installers and service engineers only
CLEANING THE FILTER It is recommended that the filter is periodically cleaned in order to maintain the performance of the shower. It is essential that this operation is carried out by a competent person. IMPORTANT: Before servicing, switch off the electricity supply at the mains.
NOTE: Full commissioning procedure will need to be performed after cleaning of the filter - see page 15 for information on commissioning procedure.
