T4TS Scenario 3

[rooman]

Hi there, this is for anyone who has completed the scenario or can give guidance.

I need to do a soundness test and system check on both the hot and cold water in a direct system. I am struggling to get it right. Just looking for some advice.

Cheers roo

Hi. Can you expand the question as i am assuming you mean a visual and pressure test?

Do the pressure test through the washing machine valves, it`s the only way to do it on that scenario.

Just have to replace to taps which is easy...in real world i recon i would just use visual to check for leaks etc, but for this test you have to do a soundness check which as i read in my handbook does include pressure and then complete a full system check.

Will go on now and try with the washing isolators, cheers.

hey dude, the soundness test is though the washing machine open the cupboard u will see two pipes red and blue
isolate the water
disconnect the pipe attach the kit active water check pressure
isolate water disconnect kit attach pipe isolate water
do that for hot and cold. then system check.
recommend changing taps first

cheers beanie, the problem i was having was not looking straight in so couldnt really see the pipes, when discovered them it all fell into place, plus had some other guidance which was really helpful. hope all is well.

Have you managed to complete the soundness and system check. I am struggling to get right. Please help for completing Scenario 3. Thanks in advance.

under the sink, crouch (c) and you should see some pipes.
and then do a water check.
been a while since i done it but thats the main problem i had with it.

Soundness check This is a simple version of the full soundness check cutting out the time waiting section, for this scenario we ask you too COLD SYSTEM fit a gauge measure the pressure, turn on a cold tap recheck pressure, turn off tap recheck pressure, remove gauge. HOT SYSTEM as above but this time we will seal the system so we can apply pressure, so you need to cap the open vent, close the gate valve in the airing cupboard and most important of all shut down all forms of heating the water, this should be done first. To fit the gauge click on the washing machine HOSES

Thanks for your reply, that's about soundness check but how we do the full system check. I have on and off all water system but doesn't seem to work. Thanks in advance
