1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Thank you for purchasing a Grant unvented hot water storage cylinder from our QR range.
These Installation and User instructions must be read carefully before you begin installing the cylinder.
The cylinder must be installed by a competent person in compliance with all current legislation, codes of practice and local by-laws covering the installation of an unvented hot water cylinder.
Please also make sure that the installation complies with the information contained in these Installation and User Instructions.
To prevent damage to the coil/s, cylinder and cylinder connections, make any soldered joints before connecting pipework to the cylinder.
1.2 WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
We recommend that your Grant unvented cylinder is installed with an uninterrupted water supply.
Where possible, the unit should be fed via a Ø22 mm supply pipe. It requires a supply pressure of at least 1.5 bar with a flow rate of at least 25 litres per minute as a minimum for it to function.
Even with this pressure and flow rate, the flow from the outlets will be disappointing if several outlets are used simultaneously. Generally speaking, the higher the supply pressure, the better the system will function.
The cylinder control equipment is factory set to limit the incoming system operating pressure to 3 bar. The maximum supply pressure into the pressure reducing valve (PRV) is 12 bar.
1.3 LOCATION
The unit is designed to be floor standing, vertically mounted, internally in a frost-free environment. When choosing a suitable location for the cylinder, consideration should be given to the routing of the discharge pipe to a convenient point and also the availability of an adequate power supply for connecting the immersion heater.
The cylinder may stand on any flat and level surface without any special foundation requirements, provided that it is sufficiently robust to support the full weight of the cylinder (refer to Section 2.1).
The position of the cylinder should be such that easy access is provided for servicing the controls and replacing the immersion heater(s) should the need arise.
Generally, pipe runs should be made as short as possible and lagged to prevent heat loss.
Should it be required, a plinth for the cylinder is available to purchase from Grant UK (product code: MB-24) to enable pipework to be run underneath the cylinder with ease. Refer to Section 2.5 for dimensions.
1.4 STORAGE AND HANDLING
If the cylinder is not being installed immediately, it should remain in its carton to prevent damage. We recommend that the cylinder be transported to its installation position on a sack truck or similar whilst still within the carton.
! CAUTION !

1.5 ABOUT YOUR CYLINDER
Grant QR indirect heat pump cylinders have either:
· A single indirect coil designed for connection to an air source heat pump, such as the Grant Aerona³ range. If another heat source, such as a boiler or another make of heat pump is to be connected, please refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions for more information.
· Two indirect coils, one designed for connection to an air source heat pump, such as the Grant Aerona³ range; and another for connection of a solar thermal system, such as one using the Grant Sahara range of solar collectors.
The heat pump coil may need to be connected using a 2-port motorised valve (refer to Section 3.3 for further details). This valve is supplied loose with all Grant QR indirect heat pump cylinders.
For twin coil models, the solar coil may need to be connected using a high temperature 2-port or solenoid valve to shut off the flow from the primary source and electronically interlocked with the heat source via the cylinder control and high limit thermostat. Refer to Sections 3.3.3 and 3.5 for further details.
Failure to fit this 2-port valve in a system layout where it is required (refer to Section 3.3 for further details) will invalidate all guarantees and will be in breach of the Building Regulations Approved Document G3 (2010). More information on electrical wiring is given in Section 5 of these instructions.
Grant QR cylinders are factory-fitted with a temperature and pressure relief (T&P) valve and a 3kW electric immersion heater
Refer to Figures 2-4 and 2-5 and the corresponding table for the T&P valve position.
Refer to Sections 5, 6 and 12 for further details on immersion heaters.
1.6 OPEN VENTED HOT WATER SYSTEMS
If required, your Grant QR indirect heat pump cylinder can be used as part of an open vented hot water system, i.e. fed from a cold water storage cistern and fitted with an open vent pipe, provided the maximum head does not exceed 30 metres.
When used in this way, it will not be necessary to install the expansion vessel and cold water inlet manifold supplied with the cylinder.
! NOTE !
The temperature and pressure relief (T&P) valve must be left connected to the cylinder (as supplied).
As it may still operate due to temperature, the temperature and pressure relief (T&P) valve should be connected in the correct manner – refer to guidance given in Section 4 of these instructions.
1.7 PRIMARY CIRCUIT PIPEWORK CONNECTIONS
All primary circuit pipework connections to the cylinder MUST be made in accordance with Figures 2-4 and 2-5 as appropriate. Refer to Section 3 (Primary Circuit Installation) for further details.

Do not use the Temperature and Pressure relief valve (T&P relief valve) as a handle when moving and positioning the cylinder.

Page 4

Section 1: Introduction

1.8 SECONDARY CIRCUIT PIPEWORK CONNECTIONS
All secondary circuit primary pipework connections to the cylinder MUST be made in accordance with Figures 2-4 and 2-5 as appropriate. Refer to Section 4 (Secondary Circuit Installation).
1.9 TAPS AND FITTINGS
All taps and fittings incorporated in the unvented hot water system should have a rated operating pressure of 7 bar or above.
The compression nuts and olives required to make all necessary pipework connections to the cylinder are supplied loose in the accessories pack provided with the cylinder.
1.10 HARD WATER SCALING
If the cylinder is used in a hard water area scaling will form inside the cylinder and this will reduce both the performance and working life of the cylinder.
Where the total hardness exceeds 125 ppm a high capacity water softener, or suitable water conditioner, should be installed in the incoming cold water supply to the cylinder.
The cylinder immersion heater control thermostat has been factory-set to around 65°C. Please refer to Section 5.1 for further information on the immersion heater/s supplied. The water temperature control thermostats (on the immersion heaters and dual thermostats) fitted to the cylinder should be set no higher than 65°C, however this could be decreased to be between 50°C and 55°C depending on the end user’s requirements.
Setting a lower target temperature will help to minimise the buildup of lime scale and is likely to increase the longevity of the hot water cylinder.
1.11 INSULATION
All Grant QR indirect heat pump cylinders are insulated with a 50mm layer of CFC/HCFC free, fire retardant, polyurethane foam injected between the stainless steel cylinder and the outer casing. This polyurethane foam has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3.1 and an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of 0.
1.12 HEALTH AND SAFETY
The information supplied in Tables 2-2 to 2-4 will help you assess the safest way to manoeuvre your cylinder into position.
Please use the correct table to find the empty weight of your cylinder and then consider how you can safely move it into its final position.
Please leave these Installation and User Instructions with the householder after installation.

3 PRIMARY CIRCUIT INSTALLATION

3.1 GRANT QR INDIRECT HEAT PUMP CYLINDERS
Grant QR indirect heat pump cylinders are specifically designed for connection to most fully pumped Air Source Heat Pump systems (such as the Grant Aerona³ Heat Pump range) – either open vented or sealed systems having a maximum working pressure of 3.5 bar and a maximum working temperature of 90ºC. If you are in any doubt over the suitability of an Air Source Heat Pump (other than a Grant Aerona³ heat pump) for use with the cylinder, consult the heat pump manufacturer.
! WARNING !
Solid fuel or wood burning boilers and gravity circulation systems must not be used on the primary circuit of an unvented hot water system.

12
Indirect heat pump coil

3.2 PRIMARY CONNECTIONS
1. The primary flow and return connections from the heat pump should be made to the flow and return connections of the cylinder. Refer to Figures 2-1 to 2-5, as appropriate.
The 2-Port motorised valve (supplied) may need to be fitted into the primary flow to the indirect coil. Refer to Section 3.3 for further information.
If a Grant QRTC cylinder is being installed, the flow and return connections from the solar thermal installation should be made to the lower coil connections. Refer to Figures 2-3 and 2-5.
For all Grant QR cylinders:
· The primary flow and return fittings are 22mm compression.
· The valve has 22mm compression connections.
2. Locate the dual thermostat/s in the stainless steel pocket/s (refer to Figures 2-4 and 2-5, as appropriate, for location) and secure using the retaining screws on the thermostat housing.
3. Any automatic or manual air vent fitted to vent air from the upper coil should be installed on the primary flow pipe to the coil.

Figure 3-1: Primary circuit connections
Table 3-1: Key to Figure 3-1
Item Description
1 Automatic Air Vent
2 Motorised 2-port valve
3.3.2 BOILER OR OTHER HIGH TEMPERATURE HEAT SOURCE
If a boiler or other high temperature heat source is being connected to the indirect coil of the cylinder, the 2-port motorised valve (supplied) MUST be fitted into the primary flow to the indirect coil of the cylinder, irrespective of system layout (eg S-Plan, Y-Plan, etc…). This must be done to comply with Building Regulations Approved Document G3. Please check with the appliance manufacturer for connection details.

3.3 THE 2-PORT VALVE
The use of the 2-port motorised valve supplied with the cylinder depends on the type of heat source used with the indirect coil. Refer to Sections 3.3.1 and 3.3.2, as appropriate.
If the cylinder is being connected to a Grant Sahara solar thermal collector, please refer to Section 3.3.3.

3.3.3 SOLAR THERMAL
For Grant Sahara solar thermal installations using a Grant QR Twin Coil cylinder, a high temperature rated motorised valve (contact Grant UK for details) may need to be fitted to the solar thermal system flow pipe to the cylinder (see item 4, Figure 3-2), and wired in accordance with Figure 5-3 for a Grant Sahara Solar Collector to comply with current legislation.

If an ASHP is being connected to the indirect coil of the cylinder and the cylinder is being connected to an “S-Plan” type system, then the 2-port motorised valve (supplied) MUST be fitted into the primary flow to the indirect coil in order to prevent the temperature of the cylinder contents being lowered by a space heating demand.
Refer to item 2 in Figure 3-1. The 2-port valve should be wired in accordance with Figure 5-2 for a Grant Aerona³ Heat Pump to comply with current legislation. For other makes of heat pump please check with the heat pump manufacturer for connection details.
If an ASHP is being connected to the indirect coil of the cylinder and the cylinder is being connected to a “W-Plan” type system using a 3-port diverter valve (such as a Honeywell V4044C), then the 2-port motorised valve (supplied) does not need to be fitted into the primary flow to the indirect coil.

! NOTE !
A high temperature rated motorised valve is only required on installations where the solar thermal collectors are installed below the level of the indirect solar coil contained in the DHW cylinder.
If the Grant Sahara solar collector is installed above the indirect solar coil, as shown in Figure 3-3, a high temperature motorised valve DOES NOT need to be fitted and the system should be wired in accordance with Figure 5-4.
For other makes of solar thermal collector please check with the manufacturer for details.
3.4 HARD WATER AREAS
If the cylinder is to be used with a boiler, in a hard water area, we recommend that the primary flow temperature be limited to 75°C. This will help reduce the migration of suspended solids in the water and help prevent the build up of lime scale.

4 SECONDARY CIRCUIT INSTALLATION

4.1 GENERAL
Grant QR indirect heat pump cylinders are supplied with the safety devices and components loose in a kit, with the exception of the Temperature & Pressure (T&P) relief valve which is factoryfitted. These safety devices and components MUST be fitted to the cylinder as detailed in the following Sections 4.2 to 4.13. For a list of these safety devices and components refer to either Table 2-5 or 2-6, as appropriate.
For commissioning and maintenance purposes, it is essential to fit a service valve (not supplied) in the cold water supply pipe, immediately before the inlet manifold.
The ½ drain cock (supplied in the kit) must be fitted in the cold feed to the cylinder to provide a means of draining the unit. Refer to Figures 2-4 or 2-5 (as appropriate) for a suitable drain cock position that will enable most of the cylinder to be drained off when required.
4.2 COLD WATER INLET MANIFOLD
This manifold contains a pressure reducing valve, double check valve and expansion relief valve with a stainless steel seat.
The pressure reducing valve is factory set to 3 bar. The set pressure is shown on top of the valve. The maximum inlet pressure to this valve is 12 bar.
A balanced cold water connection is provided on the inlet manifold. Refer to Figure 4-1. This should only be used to provide balanced cold supplies to shower valves and mixer taps. If the balanced cold water outlet is not required, blank off this port.
4.3 INSTALLATION
1. Cold water supply pipe to be 22mm nominal size. 2. Flush supply pipework before connection to remove all flux
and debris prior to fitting the inlet controls. Failure to do this may result in irreparable damage to the controls and will invalidate the warranty. 3. Once the pipework is flushed connect the cold supply to the Inlet manifold. The manifold can be installed in any position as long as it is installed in the correct flow direction. Refer to the arrows on the side of the body. Make sure that the head of the expansion relief valve is offset from the cylinder for ease of access.

4. The expansion relief valve should be either horizontal or upright – if fitted inverted, debris may be deposited on the seat and cause fouling of the seat when the valve operates. Check direction of flow arrows.
5. If the installation requires one, a pressure gauge should be sourced and fitted on the cold water supply to the cylinder, between the inlet manifold and the cold water inlet tapping on the cylinder.
6. Connect the expansion vessel directly to the ¾” BSPF connection in the inlet valve manifold body, after removing the black plastic plug. See Figure 4-1 and Section 4.4.
7. The expansion relief drain pipework must be connected to a safe visible discharge point via the tundish (supplied in the unvented hot water safety kit) and the pipework must have a continuous fall.
8. Connect the expansion relief valve outlet into the discharge pipe from the temperature and pressure Relief valve using a 15mm copper pipe and tee piece (not supplied). Fit the tundish below this tee piece using a short length of copper pipe. Refer to Sections 4.9 to 4.13 for further information on the Tundish and Discharge pipe.
9. The pressure reducing valve has two outlets, the second one is for a balanced cold water supply, to a shower or a bidet (over rim type only, ascending spray type requires type AA, AB or AD air gap).
Major shower manufacturers advise fitting a mini expansion vessel in the balanced cold supply to accommodate thermal expansion and prevent tightening of shower controls.
If the dwelling has a shower mixing valve (manual or thermostatic) or a Bidet (over rim type) use the cold water supply from the balanced cold water connection on the inlet manifold for these outlets.
Do not use the balanced cold connection to supply bath taps as this can reduce the flow of water available to the cylinder. If the balanced cold water outlet is not required, blank off the connection.
10. The Service Log at the back of these instructions should be completed after commissioning of the system.
11. The cylinder must be registered with Grant UK within 30 days of installation. Refer to Section 13 for further details on the Cylinder guarantee.

Section 4: Secondary Circuit Installation

4.4 EXPANSION VESSEL
A suitable expansion vessel with a pre-charge pressure of 3bar is supplied for fitting to all cylinders. This expansion vessel must be connected into the cold water supply, between the expansion relief valve (in the inlet manifold) and the cold water inlet to the cylinder. The preferred method of connection is to hard pipe the expansion vessel directly to the ¾” BSPF connection in the inlet valve manifold body using 22mm diameter pipe. Refer to Figure 4-1. To do this, with the cylinder in its final position and with all primary circuit connections to the cylinder made: 1. Remove the black plastic plug from the inlet manifold body
(refer to Figure 4-1). 2. Screw the ¾” BSPM x 22mm compression adapter (supplied)
into the ¾” BSPF connection in the inlet manifold body. 3. Mount the expansion vessel in a suitable position on an
adjacent wall to the cylinder using the wall brackets on the vessel.
! NOTE !
The expansion vessel must be positioned with the connection point at the bottom.
No valve should be fitted between the expansion vessel and the cylinder.
4. Using 22mm diameter pipe and the 22mm compression nut and olive supplied with the expansion vessel, connect the expansion vessel to the inlet manifold.
The air charge pressure in the expansion vessel must be regularly checked (e.g. at every service) and topped up as necessary. The correct air charge pressure is 3.0bar. Refer to Sections 7.1 and 7.4 for further details.

4.5 TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The temperature and pressure relief valve (T&P Valve) is supplied factory fitted to the cylinder. The T&P valve must not be removed from the cylinder or tampered with in any way. The valve is pre-set to lift at 7bar or 90°C and any attempt to adjust it will invalidate the guarantee.
4.6 HOT WATER SUPPLY
Connect the hot water supply pipe to the top outlet of the cylinder. Refer to Figures 2-1 to 2-3, as appropriate.
4.7 PREVENTION OF SCALDING
Building Regulations Approved Document G (Part G3) requires that the hot water temperature supplied to a bath should be limited to a maximum of 48°C by using an in-line blending valve (not supplied with the cylinder) with a maximum temperature stop. The length of the supply pipe between the blending valve and the bath hot water outlet should be kept to a minimum to prevent the colonisation of waterborne pathogens (e.g. legionella). Refer to Approved Document G for further details.
4.8 SECONDARY RETURN
Grant QR indirect heat pump cylinders with a storage volume of 210 litres and over are fitted with a secondary return connection. If a secondary return circuit is required it should be connected to the cylinder as shown in Figure 4-2.
! NOTE !
If a secondary circulation circuit is installed then a larger expansion vessel may be required to handle the increase in volume.

4.9 TUNDISH
A suitable tundish is supplied loose with the cylinder for fitting in the common discharge pipe from the T&P and Expansion relief valves.
The tundish should be vertical, located in the same space as the unvented hot water cylinder and be fitted as close to, and lower than, the T&P valve with no more than 600mm of pipe (D1) between the valve outlet and the tundish.
! WARNING !
The tundish must NOT be positioned above or in close proximity of any electrical current carrying devices or wiring.
A discharge pipe must be fitted to the outlet of the tundish. This must conform to the requirements as given in Sections 4.10 to 4.13 of these Installation and User Instructions.
4.10 DISCHARGE PIPE
1. The discharge pipe (D2) from the tundish should terminate in a safe place where there is no risk to persons in the vicinity of the discharge.
a) It should be made of metal or other material that has been demonstrated to be capable of withstanding temperatures of the water discharged.
b) Be at least one pipe size larger than the normal outlet size of the safety device unless its total equivalent hydraulic resistance exceeds that of a straight pipe 9m long, i.e. for discharge pipes between 9m and 18m long the equivalent resistance length should be at least two sizes larger than the normal outlet size of the safety device, between 18m and 27m at least three sizes larger and so on.
Bends must be taken into account in calculating the flow resistance. Refer to Sections 4.11, 4.12 and 4.13.
c) Have a vertical section of pipe at least 300 mm long, below the tundish before any elbows or bends in the pipe work.
d) Be installed with a continuous fall of 1:200 (0.286°).
e) Have discharges visible at both the tundish and the final point of discharge but where this is not possible or practically difficult there should be clear visibility at one or other of these locations.
2. Examples of acceptable discharge arrangements are:
a) ideally below a fixed grating and above the water seal in a trapped gully.
b) downward discharges at a low level; i.e. up to 100mm above external surfaces such as car parks, hard standings, grassed areas etc. are acceptable providing that where children may play or otherwise come in to contact with discharges, a wire cage or similar guard is positioned to prevent contact, whilst maintaining visibility.
c) discharges at high level; e.g. into a metal hopper and metal down pipe with the end of the discharge pipe clearly visible (tundish visible or not) or onto a roof capable of withstanding high temperature discharges of water and 3m from any plastics guttering systems that would collect such discharges (tundish visible).
3. Where a single pipe serves a number of discharges, such as in blocks of flats, the number served should be limited to not more than 6 systems so that any installation can be traced reasonably easily.
The single common discharge pipe should be at least one pipe size larger than the largest individual discharge pipe to be connected.
If unvented hot water storage systems are installed where discharges from safety devices may not be apparent i.e. in dwellings occupied by blind, infirm or disabled people, consideration should be given to the installation of an electronically operated device to warn when a discharge takes place.

! NOTE !
The discharge will consist of scalding water and steam. Asphalt, roofing felt and non-metallic rainwater goods may be damaged by such discharges.

! NOTE !
The above table is based on copper tube. Plastic pipes may be of a different bore and resistance. Sizes and maximum lengths of plastic pipe should be calculated using data for the type of pipe being used.

4.12 WORKED EXAMPLE
The example below is for a 1/2″ diameter temperature relief valve with a discharge pipe (D2) having 4 x 22mm elbows and a length of 7 m from the tundish to the point of discharge.
From Table 4-1:
Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 22mm copper discharge pipe (D2) from a 1/2″ diameter temperature relief valve is 9.0m.
Subtract the resistance for quantity of 4 x 22mm elbows at 0.8m each = 3.2m.
Therefore, the maximum permitted length is 9.0 – 3.2 = 5.8m.
5.8m is less than the actual length of 7m; therefore calculate the next largest size.
Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 28mm copper discharge pipe (D2) from a 1/2″ diameter temperature relief valve is 18m.
Subtract the resistance for a quantity of 4 x 28mm elbows at 1.0m each = 4m.
Therefore, the maximum permitted length is 18 – 4 = 14m.
As the actual length is 7m, a 28mm diameter copper pipe will be satisfactory in this case.

Section 5: Electrical

5.3 IMMERSION HEATER SAFETY CUT-OUT
The immersion heater incorporates an in independent non selfresetting over temperature cut-out device to prevent excessive water temperatures.
In normal operation the reset pin positioned to the side of the control knob and indicated by a triangle (with the words `bipolar safety’ above) will be approximately 2-3mm below the upper surface of the thermostat cap.
Should the over temperature cut-out operate, the reset pin will be pushed upwards to become level with or slightly above the cover.
Wait until the temperature has fallen sufficiently. Then Investigate and identify the cause of the cut-out operation and rectify the fault.
Then manually reset the cut-out by pressing in the reset pin to its normal operating position using hand pressure only with a suitably sized implement.
! WARNING !
Before removing the immersion heater covers to either reset the safety cut-out or check/alter the thermostat setting, ensure that the electrical supply is isolated.
Ensure the cover to the immersion heater cover is replaced correctly and the retaining nut is fitted. Finally switch the mains electricity supply back on.
5.4 DUAL THERMOSTAT
A Dual Thermostat (a combined control and high limit thermostat) is supplied separately with the cylinder (two are supplied with QRTC models). The Dual Thermostat is to be fitted into the sensor pocket in the cylinder (refer to items 3 and 7 in Figures 2-4 and 2-5, as appropriate, for position) to control the operation of the heat pump or solar thermal primary coil.
The cylinder control thermostat has an adjustment range between 25°C and 65°C. It is recommended that it is set between 50°C and 55°C for Grant Aerona³ heat pump installations. The high limit (overheat) thermostat will automatically operate at 90°C. For details on the correct wiring connections, refer to Figures 5-2 to 5-4 (as appropriate).

5.5 2-PORT VALVES
To comply with the regulations governing the installation of indirect unvented hot water cylinders, a 2-port motorised valve (supplied) may need to be fitted to the primary flow to the indirect coil of the cylinder.
If your cylinder is being installed as part of an ASHP installation, refer to Section 3.3.1 for further information.
If your cylinder is being installed as part of a boiler (or other hightemperature heat source) installation, refer to Section 3.3.2 for further information.
If a Grant QR Twin Coil indirect heat pump cylinder is being installed with a solar thermal system, a high temperature 2-port motorised valve may be required. Refer to Sections 3.3.3 and 3.5 for further information.
5.6 HEAT PUMP INTERFACE BOX
The Grant EP002 heat pump interface box (supplied with all Grant Aerona³ air source heat pumps) is designed to provide the voltage free switching for the Aerona³ air source heat pump, using the space heating and hot water switched live outputs from the control system wiring centre.
This box can be installed next to the heating system wiring centre. Alternatively, it can be located nearer to the Aerona³ heat pump, but NOT be installed externally.
Refer to the Aerona³ installation instructions for further details.

5.7 WIRING DIAGRAMS
The control system shown in this diagram includes the Grant hot water priority relay (product code: HPWPR1). This ensures that there can be no demand for space heating and hot water at the same time.
Any demand from the Grant HPIDTM4 DHW Timer and cylinder thermostat for hot water will activate the relay, immediately interrupting any heating demand from the Grant NeoStat. This will remain interrupted until the demand for hot water stops either the cylinder thermostat is satisfied or there is no hot water output from the timer. For information regarding the operation of the DHW Boost Kit shown in this control system wiring diagram, please refer to Section 5.4 of the Aerona³ ASHP installation instructions.

6 COMMISSIONING, DRAINING DOWN AND SAFETY

! NOTE !

! CAUTION !

Commissioning details should be entered in the commissioning and service log at the back of these instructions.
6.1 FILLING THE CYLINDER
! CAUTION !
Before filling the cylinder check that the immersion heater has not loosened in transit. Tighten as necessary using a shaped spanner. Stillsons or pipe grips should not be used.
1. Ensure that all connections are fully tightened. 2. Ensure that the service valve in the cold water supply is
closed. 3. Open all hot water taps supplied by the cylinder. 4. Slowly open the service valve in the cold water supply. 5. Continue to fill the cylinder until water flows from all taps 6. Open the service valve fully and close all the hot taps. 7. Allow system to stabilise for five minutes. 8. Open each hot water tap in turn to expel air from the system
pipe work. 9. Check for leaks. 10. Manually operate Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve
(14) ­ Figures 2-4 and 2-5, to ensure free water flow through discharge pipe. (Turn knob to left). 11. Heat the water to chosen temperature and then close the service valve. 12. Drain the cylinder to flush out any flux/solder from the installation process. Refer to Section 6.2 below. 13. Re-fill the cylinder ­ as described above. 14. Re-heat cylinder to the required temperature and re- check for leaks.
6.2 DRAINING DOWN
1. Switch off the electrical power to the immersion heater (important to avoid damage to the element).
2. Switch off the heat pump (or boiler). 3. Turn off the cold water service valve (or stop cock). 4. Attach a hose to the drain cock, ensuring that it terminates at
a level below the hot water cylinder. 5. Open all hot water taps. 6. Open drain cock in cold water supply to drain unit down.
Refer to Figures 2-4 and 2-5, as appropriate. 7. Disconnect the hot water draw-off (refer to Figures 2-4 and
2-5, as appropriate). 8. Insert hose pipe to bottom of cylinder, ensuring that it
terminates at a level below the hot water cylinder. 9. Create suction force through this hose, ideally through
the use of a syphon pump, to remove the remaining water contained in the cylinder.

After draining the cylinder do not close the hot taps until the cylinder has fully cooled. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the cylinder and will invalidate the guarantee.
6.3 IMMERSION HEATER SAFETY CUT-OUT
The immersion heater incorporates an independent non selfresetting over temperature cut-out device to prevent excessive water temperatures. Refer to Section 5.3 for further details. The safety cut-out will operate if: a. The wiring is incorrect. b. The immersion heater thermostat or cylinder thermostat fails. c. Thermostat is set too high. To reset the safety cut-out: 1. Unscrew and remove the nut holding the immersion heater
cover in place. 2. Remove the immersion heater cover.
! WARNING !
Before removing the immersion heater cover, to either reset the safety cut-out or check/alter the thermostat setting, ensure that the electrical supply is isolated.
3. The safety cut-out reset pin is positioned to the side of the control knob (indicated by a triangle with the words `bipolar safety’ above). Refer to Figure 5-1.
4. If the cut-out has operated, the reset pin will be pushed upwards (to be level or slightly above the cover).

6.4 COLD WATER DISCHARGE
FROM TUNDISH
There are two reasons why cold water will discharge from the tundish:
1. The pressure reducing valve has malfunctioned (This will cause a large volume of water to flow through the tundish).
2. The Expansion relief valve is letting by (This will cause a very low volume of water to flow through the tundish).
In both cases, identify the defective component and replace. All repairs must be carried out by a competent person.

6.7 CUSTOMER HANDOVER
1. Complete the commissioning and service log at the back of these instructions and leave the instructions with the user.
2. Explain the operation of the system to the User, referring to Section 12 of these instructions.
3. In particular, make the user aware of what to do if water is seen to flow from either the T&P Valve or Expansion relief Valve.
4. Refer the user to the Information given in Section 12 of these instructions.

6.5 HOT WATER DISCHARGE FROM TUNDISH
There are four reasons why hot water will discharge from the tundish:
1. Thermal cut-out has malfunctioned.
2. The control thermostat has malfunctioned.
3. The T & P valve is letting by.
4. The expansion vessel has failed or lost its charge.
In all cases, should a repair be necessary, the work must be carried out by a competent person.
Isolate the cylinder from all electrical supplies before commencing maintenance work.

! NOTE !
Leave these Installation, Servicing and User instructions with the user for future reference.

6.6 EXPANSION VESSEL
1. The expansion vessel is connected into the cold water supply to the cylinder.
! NOTE !
No valve should be fitted between the expansion vessel and the supply pipe.
2. Ensure that the air charge in the vessel matches the pressure setting shown on the pressure reducing valve.

7 MAINTENANCE

! NOTE !
Servicing details should be entered in the commissioning and service log in Appendix A at the back of these instructions.

7.2 INLET MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY
The inlet manifold assembly should not, under normal circumstance, require any maintenance. During annual servicing it may be necessary to inspect and/or clean the expansion relief valve cartridge. The frequency of cleaning will depend on the local water conditions.

7.1 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Servicing and maintenance must only be carried out by a competent unvented hot water installer, or by Grant Engineering (UK) Limited authorised personnel.
2. Before any work whatsoever is carried out on the installation, it MUST first be isolated from the electricity supply.
! WARNING !
Both the primary and secondary systems will contain very hot water that will scald; therefore care should be taken when opening any joints, seals or valves.
3. Only use spare parts authorised by Grant Engineering (UK) Limited. The use of unauthorised spare parts will invalidate the guarantee.
4. Drain the cylinder ­ When draining the cylinder, always switch off the boiler/heat pump and the immersion heater first. Turn off the water supply at the service valve or mains stopcock.
Connect a hose pipe to the drain cock (see Figures 2-4 and 2-5) and route it to a convenient gully. Open the drain cock and all hot taps that are served by the cylinder. The cylinder may take several minutes to empty completely.
5. In hard water areas it may be necessary from time to time to remove and de-scale the immersion heater element. Replace the gasket each time it is removed.
6. Check any in-line strainers which may be fitted in the cold supply to the cylinder and clean if necessary.
7. Remove the expansion relief valve cartridge. Check and clean valve seat. Replace cartridge. Refer to Section 7.3 for further information.
8. Check the charge pressure in the expansion vessel and top up as necessary. The charge pressure should be 3.0 bar. Refer to section 7.4 for further information.
9. Whilst the hose pipe is connected, the drain cock open and with the immersion heater removed, the cylinder may be flushed out to remove any debris, sand or lime scale particles that may have collected in the bottom by using a further hose pipe connected to the cold water main.
10. Close the drain cock, disconnect the hose, refit the immersion heater and close all hot water taps before reopening the stopcock. Allow the cylinder time to fill whilst checking for any leaks. Release any air from the system by opening each hot water tap individually, starting with the one furthest from the cylinder.
11. Manually lift the expansion relief and temperature and pressure relief valve one at a time, every 12 months (more frequently in hard water areas) to prevent debris from building up behind the valve seat. Whilst carrying out this operation, check that the discharge to waste is unobstructed. Check that each valve seals correctly when released. As the valves are pre-calibrated, they require no further maintenance.
12. Finally switch on the mains electricity supply to the immersion heater and the boiler. As the system heats up, check again for any leaks and rectify as necessary.

7.3 EXPANSION RELIEF VALVE CARTRIDGE
1. Isolate the cold water supply. 2. Remove the un-sprung circlip retaining the expansion relief
valve cartridge in the inlet manifold body. See Figure 4-1. 3. Carefully remove the expansion relief valve cartridge from
the inlet manifold body. It is a push fit type fitting, so gently pull on the body of the cartridge until it is released. 4. Clean valve seat face and seating – do not scratch or damage either seat face or seating. 5. Refit in reverse order. Ensure that the circlip is fully inserted into its seat. Expansion valve cartridge (Grant UK product code: GCS08).
! CAUTION !
Upon re-fitting the circlip used to retain the push-fit expansion relief valve into the inlet manifold body, ensure the circlip is fully inserted into its seat.
7.4 EXPANSION VESSEL
1. Isolate the cold water supply. 2. Open hot water taps. 3. Drain cylinder to below the expansion vessel flexible hose
connection. 4. Check expansion vessel air charge. 5. Replace expansion vessel if necessary. 6. Close drain off cock and turn on cold water supply. 7. Refill cylinder whilst checking for leaks. 8. When water is flowing freely from taps close taps.

12 USER INSTRUCTIONS

12.1 USER INSTRUCTIONS
Your Grant QR indirect heat pump cylinder has been designed to give many years of trouble-free service and is made from hygienic high grade stainless steel.
IMMERSION HEATERS
Your Grant QR indirect heat pump cylinder is fitted with one 3kW immersion heater. Refer to Section 5.1 for further details.
The immersion heater in the cylinder can be used to heat your hot water when your heat pump (or boiler) is switched off, e.g. during the summer months.
In the case of a Grant Aerona³ heat pump, this immersion heater may also be used to assist in the heating of your hot water if you have a Grant Boost Kit fitted. Check with your installer. The cylinder immersion heater thermostat has been factory-set to position · · (refer to Figure 5-1) to give a hot water temperature of around 65°C, but this could be lowered to 60°C if required. The immersion heater incorporates an independent non selfresetting over temperature cut-out device to prevent excessive water temperatures. If this safety cut-out operates it can be re-set. Refer to Section 6.3.
If the problem persists, please contact your installer.

! WARNING !
If water is seen to flow from either the Temperature & Pressure Relief (T&P Valve) valve or the Expansion Relief
Valve (EV) on the cylinder seek expert advice immediately.
If the water is flowing from the T&P Valve, immediately: 1. Shut off the electrical supply to the immersion
heater(s).
2. Shut down the boiler or other heat sources to the cylinder e.g. solar, heat pump, etc.
3. DO NOT SHUT OFF THE WATER SUPPLY TO THE CYLINDER.
4. Contact your installer to check the system.
IMPORTANT
Do NOT tamper with any of the Safety controls fitted to the cylinder. If you suspect a fault always contact a competent installer who is qualified to work on unvented water cylinders.

DUAL THERMOSTAT
Your Grant QR indirect heat pump cylinder is also fitted with a Dual Thermostat (mounted on the cylinder). Refer to Section 5.4 for further details.
The cylinder control thermostat has an adjustment range between 25°C and 65°C. It is recommended that it is set between 50°C and 55°C for Grant Aerona³ heat pump installations
The high limit (overheat) thermostat will automatically operate if the water temperature reaches 90°C. If this operates it can be re-set. To do this, first wait for the cylinder to cool down. Then unscrew the plastic cap and press in the small re-set pin.
If the problem persists, please contact your installer.

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
The hot water temperatures on the cylinder immersion heater thermostat and dual thermostat should not be set any higher than 65°C otherwise nuisance tripping of either the immersion heater safety cut-out, or the high limit thermostat (in the dual thermostat) will occur. This temperature could be decreased to 60°C if required.
Grant UK recommends that the dual thermostat is set between 50°C and 55°C for Grant Aerona³ heat pump installations.
Setting a lower target temperature will help to minimise the buildup of lime scale and is likely to increase the longevity of your hot water cylinder.
If you are in any doubt, these temperatures adjustments should be best left to your installer.

HOT WATER
When a hot tap is turned on there may be a short surge of water, this is quite normal with unvented systems and does not mean there is a fault.
When you first fill a basin the water may sometimes appear milky. This is due to very tiny air bubbles in the water, which will clear very quickly.
