Redring PSA12 Powerstream Ascari 12kW User manual

  • Hello, I've reviewed the installation guide for the REDRING POWERSTREAM ASCARI central heating boiler and I'm ready to assist you. This guide includes details on wiring, plumbing, and configuration of this device. I can help you with questions regarding installation, setup, operation, various settings, and features. Feel free to ask any questions!
  • What is the recommended use for the boiler?
    What should be the minimum cold pressure of the system?
    What is the thermal cut-out temperature for underfloor heating?
    What is the main power fuse requirement?

WaterTreatment,CleansingandFlushingtheHeatingSystem
NOTE: British Standard BS7593: 1992 stresses the importance of cleansing and ushing of the system to
ensure it continues to run efciently with the minimum of maintenance necessary. Halstead Boilers fully support
this professional approach and recommend that the system is cleansed with an effective chemical cleanser and
protected long term with a suitable inhibitor. Such products are available from Fernox and Sentinal.
