Installation of the EKHWSU domestic hot
water tank
The total Daikin Altherma system is designed for
combination with a Daikin Altherma domestic hot
water tank. In case another tank or a spare part other
than native Daikin is being used in combination with
the Daikin Altherma unit, Daikin cannot guarantee
neither good operation nor reliability of the system.
For those reasons Daikin cannot give warranty of the
system in such case.
The equipment is not intended for use in a potentially
explosive atmosphere.
For safety reasons, it is not allowed to add ethylene
glycol to the water circuit. Adding ethylene glycol
might lead to contamination of the domestic water if a
leakage would occur in the heat exchanger coil.
Only this tank can be used in combination with the
solar kit option.
Domestic water quality must be according to EN
directive 98/83 EC.
Wherever possible the main supply pipe should be in
22 mm. The minimum main water supply requirement
should be 1.5 bar working pressure and 20 litres per
minute flow rate. At these values outlet flow rates may
be poor if several outlets are used simultaneously, the
higher the available pressure and flow rate the better
the system performance will be.
It is important that the storage capacity of the
domestic water tank meets normal daily fluctuations in
consumption of hot water without any fall of the water
outlet temperature during use.
Immediately after installation, the domestic hot water
tank must be flushed with fresh water. This procedure
must be repeated at least once a day the first 5
consecutive days after installation.
If applicable legislation requires a chemical
disinfection in specific situations, involving the
Altherma domestic hot water tank, please be aware
that the domestic hot water tank is a stainless steel
cylinder containing an aluminium anode. We therefore
advise in these circumstances to use a non-chloride
based disinfectant approved for use with water
intended for human consumption.
Where the secondary return circuits are used an
additional expansion vessel may be required.

For EKUHW2WB only: Thermostat (solenoid 2-way valve)
The thermostat will close the solenoid 2-way valve when the
temperature becomes too high (setting 79°C).
Temperature and pressure relief valve
The temperature and pressure relief valve prevents excessive
water temperature (>95°C) and excessive water pressure
(≥10 bar) in the domestic hot water tank.
Expansion relief valve (option kit)
The pressure relief valve prevents excessive water pressure
(≥8 bar) in the water circuit.

12 Fit the solenoid 2-way valve (part 1 of this kit) using the
connection nipples (part 2 of this kit) for screwing into the 3/4"
FBSP flow inlet connection <F> of the domestic hot water tank.
Also refer to "Installation guidelines" on page 4.
The valve must be mounted so that the valve head is above
horizontal level of pipework to prevent that in the highly unlikely
event of a leak, a safety hazard results.

Maintenance
Troubleshooting
In order to ensure optimal availability of the unit, a number of checks
and inspections on the unit and the field wiring have to be carried out
at regular intervals.
Before carrying out any maintenance or repair activity,
always switch off the circuit breaker on the supply
panel, remove the fuses or open the protection
devices of the unit.
For E(K)HBH/X units only
Make sure that before starting any maintenance or
repair activity, also the power supply to the outdoor
unit is switched off.
The described checks must be executed at least once a year.
1Domestic hot water tank booster heater
It is advisable to remove lime buildup on the booster heater to
extend its life span, especially in regions with hard water. To do
so, drain the domestic hot water tank, remove the booster heater
from the domestic hot water tank and immerse in a bucket (or
similar) with lime-removing product for 24 hours
2Chemical disinfection
If applicable legislation requires a chemical disinfection in
specific situations,involving the domestic hot water tank, please
be aware that the domestic hot water tank is a stainless steel
cylinder containing an aluminium anode.
We therefore advise in these circumstances to use a
non-chloride based disinfectant approved for use with water
intended for human consumption.
3Temperature and pressure relief valve
Check for correct operation of the temperature and pressure
relief valve. Manually operate the temperature and pressure
relief valve to ensure free water flow through discharge pipe.
Turn knob left.
4Pressure reducing valve with integrated non return valve and
line strainer
Depending on local water conditions, annual inspection of the
integral line strainer, pressure reducing valve cartridge and
seating may be necessary.
Unscrew the retaining nut of the valve. The complete
operating mechanism, including the strainer can be removed.
Clean the filter mesh and cartridge under running water.
Replace cartridge, ensuring that strainer is correctly located
and reassemble the unit.
5Expansion relief valve
Check for correct operation of the expansion relief valve.
Manually operate the expansion relief valve to ensure free water
flow through discharge pipe. Turn knob left.
Depending on local water conditions, annual inspection of the
expansion relief valve cartridge and seating may be necessary.
Unscrew the expansion relief headwork from valve body.
Clean valve seat face and seating - do not scratch or damage
either seat face or seating.
Refit in reverse order. Do not over tighten.
6Unit switch box
Carry out a thorough visual inspection of the switch box and
look for obvious defects such as loose connections or
defective wiring.
Check for correct operation of contactor K3M by use of an
ohmmeter. All contacts of this contactor must be in open
position.
For the anode no maintenance or replacement is required.
If it is necessary to view internal of the cylinder, the booster heater
boss can be used.
This section provides useful information for diagnosing and correcting certain troubles which may occur in the unit.
General guidelines
Before starting the trouble shooting procedure, carry out a thorough
visual inspection of the unit and look for obvious defects such as
loose connections or defective wiring.
Before contacting your local dealer, read this chapter carefully, it will
save you time and money.
When carrying out an inspection on the supply panel or on
the switch box of the unit, always make sure that the circuit
breaker of the unit is switched off.
When a safety device was activated, stop the unit and find out why
the safety device was activated before resetting it. Under no circumstances safety devices may be bridged or changed to a value other
than the factory setting. If the cause of the problem cannot be found,
call your local dealer.
