CHANGE OF WATER SUPPLY
The changing or alternating from one water supply to another can have a
detrimental effect on the operation and / or life expectation of a water heater
cylinder and a temperature pressure relief valve.
Where there is a changeover from one water supply to another, e.g. a rainwater
tank supply, bore water supply, desalinated water supply, public reticulated water
supply or water brought in from another supply, then water chemistry information
should be sought from the supplier or it should be tested to ensure the water
supply meets the requirements given in these guidelines for the Aquamax
warranty to apply.
