SMART

INSTALLATION GUIDE

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Safety information

This appliance can be used by

children aged from 3 years

and above and persons with

reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities or lack of

experience and knowledge

if they have been given

supervision or instruction

concerning use of the appliance

in a safe way and understand

the hazards involved. Children

shall not play with the appliance.

Cleaning and user

maintenance shall not be made

by children without supervision.

This product must be installed

by a competent person in

accordance with all relevant

current local and national Water

Supply Regulations.

ALL PRODUCTS REQUIRING

AN ELECTRICAL

CONNECTION MUST BE

INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED

PERSON FOLLOWING

THE LATEST REVISION OF

THE ELECTRICAL WIRING

REGULATIONS, BOTH

NATIONAL AND LOCAL AND

CERTIFIED TO CURRENT

BUILDING REGULATIONS.

This system should be installed

so that other taps or appliances

operated elsewhere within the

premises do not signiﬁcantly

aect the ﬂow. The Aqualisa

SmartValve™ must not be

used with a hot water supply

temperature of over 65ºC.

If the maximum hot water

temperature is likely to rise

above 65ºC then a Thermostatic

Blending Valve must be used.

The Aqualisa SmartValve™

is supplied factory pre-set

at maximum temperature

of 45ºC. The maximum

temperature is fully adjustable

to suit site conditions. If

adjusted, we recommend the

outlet temperature is set to a

MAXIMUM of 46ºC.

The Aqualisa SmartValve™

must be installed in an accessible

location for servicing and

maintenance. The Aqualisa

SmartValve™ must not be

installed in situations where

either the ambient temperature

is likely to exceed 40ºC or

where freezing may occur. The

controller must not be installed

in situations where the ambient

temperature is likely to fall below

5ºC or rise above 40ºC.

We do not recommend the

use of a controller in steam

therapy facilities. This appliance

must be earthed. Cables must

be protected by a suitably sized

conduit or trunking to avoid risk

of damage and to allow removal

for service and maintenance

purposes. Failure to install this

way may invalidate the warranty.

Ensure that the conduit is run to

avoid the controller ﬁxing holes.

Surface mounted cables must

also be protected by a suitable

approved conduit, even in a loft,

where there may be a risk of

damage from vermin.

The power lead must only be

replaced by the manufacturer

or their accredited agent. The

controller is supplied from a

safety low voltage source.This

product is suitable for domestic

use only.

Installation of the pumped

Aqualisa SmartValve™ (for

gravity stored systems)

The pumped Aqualisa

SmartValve™ shower system

is designed to operate up to

a maximum static pressure

of 100kPa ((1 bar)(10 metres

head)(14.5psi)). Under no

circumstances must the

pumped Aqualisa SmartValve™

be connected directly to the

water main or in line with

another booster pump. The

minimum actual capacity of

the cold water storage cistern

should be not less than 225

litres (50 gallons). The capacity

of the hot water cylinder

must be capable of meeting

anticipated demand.

Installation of the standard

(unpumped) Aqualisa

SmartValve™ (for balanced

high pressure and unvented

systems, combination

boiler systems and

separately pumped gravity

systems)

Pressures: The standard

(unpumped) Aqualisa

SmartValve™ is designed to

operate up to a maximum static

pressure of 700kPa ((7 bar)

(100psi)). Where pressures

are likely to exceed 700kPa

((7 bar)(100psi)), a pressure

reducing valve must be ﬁtted

to the incoming mains supply.

A setting of 400kPa ((4 bar)

(60psi)) is recommended. It

should be noted that daytime

pressures approaching 600kPa

((6 bar)(80psi)) can rise above

the stated maximum overnight.

Special notes for

combination boiler systems

The appliance must have a

minimum domestic hot water

rating of 24kW and be of the

type ﬁtted with a fully modulating

gas valve. If in any doubt,

please contact the appliance

manufacturer before installation

commences.

DUE TO PERFORMANCE

CHARACTERISTICS OF

COMBINATION BOILERS,

SEASONAL INLET

TEMPERATURE CHANGE

WILL AFFECT THE AQUALISA

SMARTVALVE™ OUTLET

FLOW RATE RESULTING IN

VARYING SHOWER FLOW

RATE AND FLOW CONTROL

RANGE. INLET TEMPERATURE

CHANGE MAY ALSO CAUSE

THE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY

TO FLASH; THIS IS NOT

NECESSARILY CHANGING

THE OUTLET TEMPERATURE.

DUE TO THE PERFORMANCE

CHARACTERISTICS OF

COMBINATION BOILERS,

OPERATION OF THE BOOST

BUTTON OR INCREASING

THE FLOW RATE SETTING ON

THE SHOWER CONTROLLER

MAY NOT OFFER

SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN

OUTPUT FLOW RATE.

Special notes for separately

pumped gravity systems

and universal/negative

head pumps (for divert

systems)

We recommend a MINIMUM

pump rating of 1.5 bar. For

optimum performance a 2.5

bar pump should be used

for all separately pumped

installations. A twin ended

pump is required for use

with single outlet products.

A universal/negative head

type twin ended pump (works

on both positive and negative

head conditions) MUST be used

with divert products.

The minimum actual capacity

of the cold water storage

cistern should be not less

than 225 litres (50 gallons).

The capacity of the hot water

cylinder must be capable

of meeting the anticipated

demand.

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT

SUITABLE FOR USE WITH

A SINGLE ENDED PUMP.

Shower Heads

The range of shower heads has

been designed for use with

Smart systems. Installation of

any shower heads other than

these may result in poor shower

performance. If at any stage

during installation you have any

questions then please contact

the Aqualisa Customer Service

Department on 01959 560010

for advice.

Connections

This product incorporates

15mm ‘push-ﬁt’ type

connections. Tube should be

cut using a rotary type cutter

and lubricated using a silicone

grease, petroleum jelly, or

similar, prior to insertion into

the ﬁtting. 15mm pipework

must be used to connect the

product.

If plastic pipe is used, the tube

insert must not increase the

tube diameter or extend the

cut-o length by more

than 2mm.

THESE FITTINGS ARE NOT

SUITABLE FOR STAINLESS

STEEL TUBE. COMPRESSION

FITTINGS MUST NOT BE USED.

Pipe sizing

CHECK PIPE SIZE

REQUIREMENTS FOR

CONNECTIONS TO OUTLETS

AND ACCESSORIES.

Long pipe runs, on both the

inlet and outlet, will reduce

the ﬂow rate at the shower

head, 22mm pipe work should

be used on inlets and reduced

down to 15mm as close to the

valve as possible to reduce

pressure loss and help maintain

ﬂow rate. If using 15mm pipe,

copper pipe is preferred. To

optimise performance minimise

the number of elbows used. If

long pipe runs are unavoidable

on the outlet, and a diverter is

used, use copper pipe rather

than plastic. If plastic pipe is

used, minimise the number of

elbows as the pipe inserts are

very restrictive.

Flushing

Some modern ﬂuxes can be

very corrosive and, if left in

contact, will attack the working

parts of this unit. All soldering

must be completed and the

pipe work thoroughly ﬂushed

out in accordance with current

local and national Water Supply

Regulations prior to connection

of the product.

read and understood and that you have all the necessary components before

commencing installation. Refer to the separate Components List for reference.

SMART INSTALLATION

Installation videos are available on our website www.aqualisa.co.uk/installation-

videos or alternatively, scan the QR code on the reverse of this guide.

Although the Aqualisa SmartValve™complies with all relevant EMC standards,

if incorrectly sited, it may interfere with digital TV reception. Please follow the

recommendations below to minimise this eect.

See recommended layouts below.

Images of Aqualisa SmartValve™for illustration only, refer to instruction 1 for orientation.

• Route cables separately, and as far apart from each other as possible.

• Aerial to point away from the Aqualisa SmartValve™.

• Ensure the distance between the Aqualisa SmartValve™and the aerial is as large as possible.
