6 TM Page 6 7. RUNNING YOUR SYSTEM Run the system at fully open, maximum temperature for 1 hour, to expel any air in the system. Release any air that may be trapped at appropriate radiator bleed points and return manifold bleed point. Turn off TRV/flow manifold and allow to cool. Set to desired room setting and run normally. NOTE: DiscreteHeat recommend flushing the system with ThermaSkirt Cleanser TS3 or alternatively Scalemaster SM3 (check dosage carefully) and running with ThermaSkirt corrosion inhibitor TS5 or alternatively Scalemaster SM1 (check dosage carefully) to ensure maximum longevity and reliability. Hard water areas may require additional precautions. Chemically softened water must NOT be used. This is a standard precaution for ALL wet heating systems. Contact DiscreteHeat for specific application advice. 8. TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Leak at joint. Faulty / incorrect installation Drain and replace fitting or O ring from spares kit. ThermaSkirt not hot. Check boiler. Is heating ON and pressure OK? Lockshield valve closed. Open Lockshield valve ( ). TRV valve closed / off. Open TRV valve ( ). Air trapped in pipework. See 9 below. Water from Manifold not closed fully. Turn to OFF position. Return Manifold. 9. BLEEDING YOUR SYSTEM As ThermaSkirt acts like a pipe, in normal operation air does not get trapped. However, on existing systems, to which ThermaSkirt is added, air may get trapped in the existing pipework to and from the skirting. Follow these simple steps if you discover cold sections of the ThermaSkirt which do not heat up. CLOSE 1. Existing System with Conventional Radiators. Turn off all radiators and ThermaSkirt thermostatic and lockshield valves. Make sure your system is fully pressurised and the pump is set to max. Run the system for a few minutes, and, starting from the lowest point in the house, open each radiator/thermaskirt system, one at a time. Run for a further 2 minutes (approx), close again and move to the next ThermaSkirt or radiator, moving upwards in the house. Any air will be expelled through the boiler or trapped in a conventional radiator. Bleed the radiator as normal. Trapped air expelled through boiler Existing System with Conventional Radiators TRV Unit CLOSE 2. New Installation with ThermaSkirt Only. On installation, in a convenient place at the highest point of the system, T off into a vertical leg 600mm high and install an automatic/manual air vent. Following the procedure above, close and open each ThermaSkirt system in turn. Any air forced round the system will be expelled through the boiler or through the air vent. Air can also be bled from the bleed screw on top of the return manifold (A). 600mm (min) Trapped air expelled through boiler New Installation with ThermaSkirt Only A
