Overview

The provided document is an installation manual for the PAW unvented hot water cylinders, specifically models PAW-TD20C1E5-UK, PAW-TD30C1E5-UK, and PAW-TD30C1E5HI-UK.

Function Description

The PAW unvented hot water cylinder is designed to store and provide hot water for domestic use. It operates as an unvented system, meaning it is directly connected to the mains water supply and maintains mains pressure at the hot water outlets. The cylinder's energy efficiency, characterized by low standing heat losses, aims to reduce energy costs over its lifetime. It is compatible with thermostatically controlled heat pumps and boilers, utilizing a primary heat source to heat the stored water. An immersion heater is included as an auxiliary or emergency backup heating element. The system incorporates various safety features, including pressure reducing valves, expansion relief valves, and temperature and pressure relief valves, to ensure safe operation. It is not suitable for gravity-fed primary systems or non-thermostatically controlled heat sources like solid fuel boilers or wood-burning stoves.

  • Holiday Mode: A feature to completely switch off water heating and weekly boost during extended periods of vacancy, accessible via a button under the display.
  • Balanced Cold Water Supply (Optional): Allows for a balanced mains pressure cold water supply to showers or bidets, preventing pressure fluctuations when other hot water taps are used. A blanking cap is supplied if not required.
  • Secondary Return (Optional): Connection point available for a secondary return pipe, if desired.
  • Multibloc Valve: Supplied as an accessory, it integrates a pressure reducing valve, line strainer, balanced cold water take-off, check valve, and expansion valve for simplified installation and operation.
  • Motorised Valve: Required for indirect unvented cylinders to comply with regulations, acting as a positive energy cut-out and controlling domestic stored water temperature via the cylinder thermostat.

Maintenance Features

  • Annual Servicing: The cylinder requires annual servicing by a competent person to validate the guarantee. A log book is provided for recording service details.
  • Draining: The unit can be drained by switching off electrical power, isolating the heat pump/boiler, turning off the cold water supply, opening a hot water tap, and opening the drain cock at the base of the cylinder. The temperature and pressure relief valve can also be opened to speed up the process.
  • System Flushing: The line strainer typically prevents foreign materials, but if flushing is required, at least 50 litres of water should be run from the cylinder at the highest possible flow rate.
  • Safety Cut-out Reset: If the safety cut-out operates, the electrical supply must be isolated, the thermostat setting reduced, and the reset button pressed after checking the cause.
  • Expansion Relief Valve Maintenance: Manually opening the valve to discharge water to the tundish ensures it is working correctly.
  • Pressure Reducing Valve Maintenance: Involves isolating the cold water supply, opening a ground floor cold tap, unscrewing the cartridge, cleaning the filter mesh, and reassembling.
  • Expansion Relief Cartridge Maintenance: Involves isolating the cold supply, opening a ground floor cold tap, unscrewing the blue headwork, cleaning the valve seat face, and refitting.
  • Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve Maintenance: Manually opening the valve to discharge water to the tundish ensures proper function.
  • Internal Inspection: The immersion heater can be removed to allow visual inspection access to the cylinder's interior.
  • Expansion Vessel Check: While not requiring annual maintenance, if intermittent or slow discharge from the tundish occurs when water is heated, the precharge pressure of the expansion vessel must be checked and restored to its original value by a competent person. The vessel must be completely empty of water before checking precharge pressure.
