70% of the conductivity in µS / cm. The JOULE warranty will not cover resultant faults to the storage cylinder if this water heater is connected at anytime to a water supply where the TDS content of the water exceeds 600 mg/L.
General Requirements SITING THE UNIT This unit can supply outlets above it or at some distance from it but any outlets above the unit will reduce the available outlet pressure by 0.1 bar for every 1m of height diff erence. The maximum length of the “dead leg” should be as stated in the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 G18.7, in particular to the area of most frequent use.

Thermalstore FITTING THE INLET CONTROL GROUP Excess pressure can lead to the DHW coil bursting. Make sure that there is suffi cient space for future maintenance and also for connection of the discharge pipe for the expansion relief valve. It is essential that this connection is not covered or closed. HOT WATER PIPEWORK Run the first part of the hot water distribution pipework in 22mm.
Page 11
PRIMARY CONNECTIONS The JOULE Thermalstore has 9 direct tappings for the integration of the heating system with the DHW, allowing for numerous heat sources to combine in an extremely effi cient manner to generate DHW and space heating. The boiler or boilers may be Gas, Electric, Oil, Solid Fuel, Biomass, Solar, or a combination of a number of these.

Thermalstore When installing an open vent heating system, it is recommended to use copper pipe with a minimum diameter of 22mm on standard boilers and a minimum of 28mm copper pipe on solid fuel boilers. Temperatures in the vent pipe from the open vent systems can exceed 90°C so ensure that the pipework used is suitable for high temperature applications.
When Installing An Immersion Heater Where an immersion heater is fi tted, always check the immersion for signs of leak- age before wiring commences. The immersion heater must be completely submerged in water with a minimum of 200mm of water above the top of the immersion. Warning: do not operate the immersion heaters until the cylinder has been fi...

SAFETY Disconnect the immersion from the mains electrical supply before removing any covers. Do not attempt to replace the immersion heater(s) with alternatives to those recommended by JOULE.Do not bypass the Thermal Cut-Out(s) in any circumstances. REPLACING THE IMMERSION First task is to isolate the power. Immersion heaters are rated at 3kW and require their own 20amp double pole isolation switch.
Commissioning FILLING First you must ensure that the pressure in the dhw expansion vessel is the same as the setting of the pressure reducing valve i.e. 3 bar (45PSI). The valve is of the Schrader car tyre type. Check all the connections for water tightness including any factory made connections such as the immersion heater and the temperature and pressure relief valve.
Maintenance Thermalstore GENERAL Servicing should only be carried out by competent installers and any spare parts used must be purchased from JOULE. NEVER bypass any safety devices or operate the unit without them being fully operational. DRAINING Switch the electrical power off (important to avoid damage to element). Isolate boiler from the unit.

Check the pressure in the expansion vessel is charged to 3 bar. Turn off the water supply to the unit and open a hot tap first. The air valve on expansion vessel is a Schrader (car tyre) type. Air or CO2 may be used to charge the expansion vessel. Unscrew the head on the inlet control set and clean the mesh fi...

LOG BOOK The installer must comply with all of the installation instructions contained within this installation manual. On completion of the initial installation and after each sub- sequent annual service the Benchmark Log Book must be completed and signed by the competent person who has worked the unit.
The discharge may also stop. CALL OUT A COMPETENT PLUMBER TO SERVICE THE UNIT. Tell them you have a fault on an unvented cylinder. We stock all the spare parts they may need and JOULE can be contacted via telephone numbers on back page.
