Xstream Geysers

                                 Congratulations with your purchase of our super insulated,
                                           solar corrosion free hot water cylinder (HWC).

Please follow the installation instructions carefully, AND check the final installation according to the instructions.
The Xstream MAINSTREAMTM range can only be installed in a HORIZONTAL position. Enquire about our
UPSTREAMTM range for vertical installations.

When connecting solar panels to the MAINSTREAMTM SOLAR range, we recommend the thermostat to be set at 60°C.
This will supply the minimum of electrically heated hot water. The electric element is positioned in the upper half of the tank.

In selecting the absorption area (panel size), it is important to use 65 - 80 liter of storage water per square meter of
panel, e.g. 200 liter HWC will use a 3m² panel (67 liter / m²).
Please ensure proper insulation is installed on all exposed pipework.

We supply our tanks with copper-to-copper female conex fittings for ease of installation. No soldering is allowed.
The supplied fittings must not be removed.

SOLAR OPTION:
Remember that the cylinder MUST be installed at a higher point than the highest point of the solar panel (± 300mm),
so that the heated water from the panel can siphon through the HWC. You are advised, when the solar option is considered
in areas with freezing conditions in winter, rather to use our SolarstreamTM HWC (indirect system,
fitted with heat exchanger). Should you wish to install the storage tank at a position lower than the
absorption panel, a circulation pump of some sort will be required.
Please contact our factory for options.

Proceed as follows: (Interior Installation)
• Position the drip tray, sloping towards the outlet in a secured position.
• Place the XstreamTM HWC inside the drip tray, ensuring that the fittings are inside the drip tray.
• Connect the solar panel to the geyser as indicated.
• Connect the incoming cold line to the inlet / drain valve (at bottom of HWC).
    Use a male inlet coupler (MIC).
• Ensure that a suitable (up to 400kPa) pressure reducing valve (PRV) is connected to the incoming line
    AND that the cold   supply is taken from a point AFTER the PRV. This will ensure balanced pressure
    (Hot and cold water supply at a mixing tap having the same pressure).
• Install a vacuum breaker at least 300mm above the HWC.
• Connect the hot water supply line from the outlet of the HWC, also installing a vacuum breaker as per cold inlet.
• Please ensure copper tube is used on the hot water supply line.
• Connect copper tube to the temperature and pressure safety valve (T&P) and take it at a slope to the outside.
    Try to minimize sharp bends.
• Do not remove any of the factory fittings from the HWC, apart from the replaceable inlet/drain valve
    and safety valve. Ensure the same type is used as replacements. First loosen the rear nut before unscrewing the nut.
• The T&P valve (Temperature and Pressure (safety) valve) and drain / inlet valve can be adjusted to the required angle.
    Loosen the securing nut, adjust the angle and fasten the nut at the desired angle.
• Fill the HWC with water. Leave a hot water tap open to get any extra air out of the system.
• Once filled, close the hot water tap.
• Proceed by connecting the electrical supply. Ensure a suitable qualified artisan performs this function.
    Open the electrical box and connect the electricity line. Always ensure the electricity line is dead
    when working with electricity.
• Install a suitable isolator switch within easy reach of the HWC.
• ALWAYS ensure that the HWC is filled with water BEFORE the electrical supply is commissioned.
    Failing this the HWC and submersible element might be damaged, and warranty will be null and void.
• Check all fittings for leaks, and ensure all supply lines are properly fastened and secured to fastening points;
    thereby minimizing strain on the fittings attached to the HWC.
• Never remove the supplied copper fittings from the HWC.

Proceed as follows: (Exterior Installation)
• All procedures as per interior installation, however, instead of using the drip tray use
    the stainless steel straps provided.
• Us a spirit level and mark the points where the straps are to be positioned -
    allow 300mm from both ends of the HWC. For a 200 liter installation use three straps.
• Use at least 10 x 100mm suitable anchoring bolts for wall installations, or other suitable securing bolts for roof installations.
    Properly secure the straps (provided). Push the HWC through the loops and proceed with connecting procedures as described.
