5 Water Systems - Sealed

5.17 Water Makeup

Provision should be made for replacing water loss from the

system using a make up bottle mounted in a position higher

than the top point of the system, connected through a non-re-

turn valve to the return side of either the heating circuit or the

hot water cylinder.

Alternatively, provision for make up can be made using a

filling loop.

5.18 Filling a Sealed Water System

Provision for filling the system at low level must be made, see

diagram 5.5. There must be no permanent connection to the

mains water supply, even through a non-return valve.
