Important - Please Note

This unit has been manufactured by Gledhill Building Products Limited. Gledhill
are an established manufacturer of water heating cylinders. It is our policy to deal
with the merchant trade rather than directly with consumers because our products
should only be installed by suitably competent trades people and we recommend
that consumers do not attempt to purchase and install our products.

We offer a minimum one year warranty (guarantee) in respect of all cylinders that we
manufacture, but please note that our guarantee is given to the builder or installer that
purchased the cylinder from us and runs from the date of manufacture. In the unlikely
event that there is a problem, it is important that you refer it as soon as possible to
the person or company that supplied the cylinder to you (your “Supplier”). This will
usually be the person or company that sold (or leased) the property to you or the
person or company that installed the cylinder for you.

If you contact your Supplier in the first instance this will enable them to determine
the cause of any problem that you may be experiencing. We would not, for example,
be responsible for faulty installation and by contacting us directly this may simply
cause you unnecessary delay and expense.

Your Supplier can determine the cause of the problem and where the problem is
caused by a fault with the cylinder itself then your Supplier can advise us accordingly.

Nothing in our guarantee or in these User Instructions will affect your statutory rights.

Warning

There are no user adjustable parts inside the casing. Tampering with sealed
components will invalidate the warranty and could also damage the cylinder
and make it unsafe to use.

PulsaCoil ECO Stainless

PulsaCoil ECO Stainless - the power behind your domestic hot water

The hot water in your home is provided by a high specification thermal storage
system which will give you many benefits. This booklet will explain why and how you
can get the most from it.

Operating characteristics

With a PulsaCoil ECO Stainless, the domestic hot water you use at the tap is not
stored but is produced instantaneously. This has the advantage of reducing the risk
of contamination from things like Legionella as well as reducing the risks of scalding
by allowing the temperature of the hot water at the tap to be controlled to 50°C-55°C.

This system delivers fresh water from the mains supply to the hot taps and is designed
to fulfil four basic needs.

1. Provide mains pressure hot water with a cylinder that does not need a
costly annual service.

2. Deliver hot water at mains pressure.

3. Operate as efficiently as possible to cost-effectively meet your needs.

4. Provide high quality water to every tap. This is possible because the water
is heated instantaneously and is not stored where it can be contaminated.

Depending on the wiring system within your property your installer/developer may

have provided an off-peak timer in the airing cupboard of your property.

If a device is fitted it must be set to the correct time and set to synchronise with the

off peak meter for correct economical operation. This should have been set when the
system was commissioned but any power cuts could have altered the correct time.

THIS UNIT SHOULD BE LEFT PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TO THE
OFF-PEAK ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND NOT SWITCHED ON AND OFF
WHEN HOT WATER IS NEEDED.

INSTALLERS MAY ALSO HAVE FITTED AN ON-PEAK SWITCH WHICH
CAN BE USED WHEN REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A BOOST TO THE TOP
PART OF THE STORE ON DAYS WHEN A LARGE AMOUNT OF HOT
WATER IS REQUIRED.

Scale

The water in the store never changes and therefore the immersion heater elements
will never scale up during the life of the product.

As far as the water you use is concerned scale can be a problem in any of your
domestic products if the water is very hard in your area.

The PulsaCoil ECO Stainless appliance has been designed to inhibit the formation
of scale, but if it does become a problem you will notice a deterioration in the flow
rate at your hot taps. In this situation your service engineer can de-scale the product.
Building Regulations now require some form of scale inhibitor to be fitted in hard
water areas, and so scale is unlikely to be a problem if the scale inhibitor is operating
correctly.
