ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

1. GreenGlo & GreenGlo Saver is a high technology storage tank, backed up by new manufacturing methods offering quality of goods to consumers.

2. The main goal of producing GreenGlo water heaters is heating and storing potable hot water in a main pressure storage tank using electricity. GreenGlo also offers optional heating equipment such as solar, gas and wetback. Potable hot water is stored in the main water storage tank separately from the heating fluids in the coils.

3. The heating fluid, which is heated in the heat source, is circulated between the heat source and cylinder’s coil. The warmed fluid takes its heat from the heat source and transmits to the water heater.

4. GreenGlo cylinders inner surface is enamelled. The process used is a double enamelling process that coats the inside surface of the cylinder.

5. GreenGlo cylinders are protected by a magnesium anode rod in order to prevent cathode corrosion. The magnesium anode rod ought to be checked and replaced if required, every 36 months by a certified plumber, and can be done by following this manual page 16.

6. GreenGlo exterior surface is covered by 40 kg/m³ and 50 mm polyurethane insulation (except 800D and 1000D) in order to diminish the loss of the heat. The GreenGlo 800D and 1000D insulation is removable. This convenience allows easy delivery and access through narrow doorways. Do not remove covers unless essential and only after receiving specific instructions from GreenGlo service desk

7. GreenGlo is an indoor tank and shall be install in a well vented space to prevent condensation

8. There is a choice of double or single or double coil GreenGlo depending on the application needed. I.E. if the cylinder will be heated with a wetback or a solar system, GreenGlo single coil water heater would be appropriate. On the other hand, if the cylinder will be heated with both wetback and a solar system, GreenGlo double coil would be appropriate.

9. GreenGlo water heaters have been produced to suit a wide range of applications and installations and are complying with NZS4606 In this manual we present the most common applications, however if you require advice on any other application, please contact our service desk on 0800 447 336 or

WATER QUALITY

GreenGlo water heaters have been manufactured to deal with most local body water supplies. Desired water quality levels: pH Level between 6.5 and 8.5 Chlorides: up to 200 ppm Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) up to 1000 mg/L Saturation Index between -0.8 and +0.8 If your water quality or the heating liquids are outside the above range, you should fit appropriate water filtration.

Caution:

If water TDS is above 600 mg/L, there is a possibility of hydrogen gas accumulating in the top of the water heater during long periods of no use. If the water heater has not been used for more than 2 weeks:

• Open the hot water tap and let water flow for 1 minute.

• Hydrogen gas is flammable; therefore make sure that there is no smoking,

sparks or naked flames near the tap.

• Do not operate any hot water appliance such as a washing machine or a dishwasher prior to the above procedure.

REGULAR CARE

Six Monthly:

Near the top of the water heater you will find the TPR Valve (Temperature Pressure Relief Valve). Raise the lower lever and gently release some water into the relief pipe. Note:

• If water does not flow down the relief pipe, or if water does not stop flowing once you released the lever, contact your plumber

• It is normal for the valve to release small amount of water during heating cycles

• Never block the relief drain pipe

Three yearly maintenance: A qualified plumber should check and if needed replace the sacrificial anode in the water heater as per pages 16 & 17

Five yearly maintenance:

A qualified plumber should replace the TPR valve, and clean coils of the cylinder via the clearing door

PLUMBING CONNECTION

Delivering and mounting the GreenGlo cylinder

• The product should be kept away from sharp tools during loading or delivering and ports should be protected.

• The product should not be left or placed where it’s exposed directly to weather such as direct sunlight, rain snow etc.

• Chose a dry and well vented space. Access moisture may cause tank condensation and may void the warranty.

• Mount the bottom of the tank clear of the floor. Usage of a drain tray is highly recommended

• If the product is installed on the floor, the floor must be dry and moistureproof. Consider a drainage tray when required.

• If possible leave headroom of half water heater length so the anode can be inspected or replaced. Remember you may have to remove the entire water heater later for servicing as per pages 16 & 17.

• Cylinder must be strapped and mounted in accordance to NZS3500.4

• GreenGlo Limited does not accept any responsibility, if the product is

physically damaged or operates inefficiently due to wrong handling

• The product must be carried vertically – if in doubt, fasten the bolts of the upper and lower dome prior to installation

Basic Plumbing connection of the Water heater

• The size of the GreenGlo tank needs to be chosen carefully in order to maintain the hot water supply demand.

• Start with the Basic Diagram of page 7 before conducting any specific application connection

• Fit the cold inlet valves prior to commissioning the cylinder

• Ensure that the TPR Valve is fitted and that the service circulation is

plugged off or connected prior to filling up the cylinder with water

• Lag all hot water pipes coming out of the water heater

Plumbing Connection of additional applications

• Simply follow the diagrams and the notes of page 8 to 12

• If you are in doubt or attempting to install an application outside the

below diagrams, please contact GreenGlo service desk for advice.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

When using brass fitting, use PTFE tape or a dialectic connector between the brass fitting and the port thread to prevent electrolysis. Hemp is not allowed.

GreenGlo basic plumbing connection diagram

Important Notes: Valves are not supplied with the water heater The above diagram describes valves for a mains pressure arrangement; however the cylinder could also be fitted to a low pressure system. GreenGlo tanks are equipped with a service circulation port. Use this port for ring main or other external applications.

GreenGlo wetback plumbing connection diagram

Important Notes:

1. No valves or restrictions are allowed on the wetback loop

2. When installing Wetback and Solar using GreenGlo D Series, connect wetback to upper coil and solar to bottom coil. Wetback should be installed to the bottom coil with all other multiple connections

3. Wetback output shall not be greater than 1kW per 100 litres storage.

4. Add 100ml of Fernox F1 or similar to the static water in the coil

GreenGlo Solar plumbing connection diagram

Important Notes:

1. The diagram shows generic drawings of connections to and from GreenGlo cylinder. Follow the specific instructions of the solar panel supplier for the actual detailed arrangement, components and valves.

2. When using GreenGlo D series, solar collectors should be installed to the bottom coil - boiler, wetback or heaters should be installed to upper coil.

3. It is highly recommended running the solar system via the GreenGlo coil on a close loop arrangement. Open loop solar is also possible using the Service Circulation port for the solar return instead of the Coil Hot port, and branching off the Cold Inlet instead of using the Coil Cold port.

4. When connecting commercial solar systems, ensure that the energy going through the solar coil is lower than the max kW rating of the coil as per page 4. Excess energy above the coils rating will void the warranty.

Warning: Open loop solar carries frost risks to the panels if antifreeze is not used

• Open a hot water tap, making sure that all other hot water taps are shut down

• Open the inlet tap fully to fill up cylinder

• Open each hot water tap till water flows freely

• Check all pipes for leaks

• Switch on the elements and set the timer/controller (if one is installed)

• Attend to any other external heating applications

DRAINING THE WATER HEATER

• Turn off the power supply to the elements

• Turn off all external heating applications

• Turn off cold inlet supply at the 3 in 1 valve or at the meter

• Open a hot water tap to drain the pipework

• Disconnect the hot water outlet union

• Open to atmosphere Cold Water Expansion Valve to let water flow via the

drain pipe

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

NOTE: Power supply must be OFF until water heater filled with water

All electrical work must be carried out by a qualified person (per AS/NZS3000). All water heaters are manufactured for 230VAC, 50HZ single phase. GreenGlo 800D 1000D elements also capable to operate on a 3-phase 400VAC A flexible 20mm conduit is required for the electrical cable to the water heater

Booster Elements and Thermostats setting:

Adjust the thermostat temperature to the customer requirements. The booster elements and the thermostats are single phase factory pre-wired.
