3.16 Filling a Sealed Water System

Provision for filling the system at low level must be made. Three
methods are shown in diagram 3.6. There must be no permanent
connection to the mains water supply, even through a non-
return valve.

3.17 Water Makeup

Provision must be made for replacing water lost from the
system. A make up vessel mounted above the highest point of
the system and connected through a non-return valve to the
system on the return side of either the hot water cylinder or
heating system, see diagram 3.5.

Alternatively provision for make up can be made by a filling loop.
