Available to order from October 2024, four new quick recovery smart pre-plumbed cylinders will be joining Grant UK’s hot water cylinder range. These pre-plumbed cylinders incorporate the Aerona Smart Controller, with the controller’s display, wiring centre, and cylinder temperature sensor supplied fitted on the cylinder. With their factory-fitted pre-wired controls and pipework, these pre-plumbed cylinder options can speed up installation for installers to make on-site set-up and commissioning easier.
The QR smart pre-plumbed cylinders are available in four sizes – 180l, 210l, 250l, and 300l – and are compatible with both of Grant’s heat pump ranges. Each model incorporates many of the same features as Grant UK’s other QR pre-plumbed cylinders including factory-fitted primary system pipework with heating and hot water 2-port valves, factory-fitted cold water inlet pipework with inlet manifold, and a potable water expansion vessel.
In addition, the QR smart pre-plumbed cylinders have the Aerona Smart Controller touchscreen display fitted although customers can choose to remove the display and locate this in another room if they prefer. The Aerona Smart Controller wiring centre is also pre-wired and factory-fitted to the cylinder.
Alongside the new QR smart pre-plumbed cylinders, new controller kits will also be available. Each kit will include the Aerona Smart Controller WiFi Hub (which can be mounted to the cylinder using the adhesive pads supplied), an outdoor weather sensor, water temperature sensors, flexible hoses and isolation valves. Customers will be able to order the appropriate controller kit according to the heat pump model being fitted, with separate kits supplied for the Aerona³ R32 units and the Aerona 290 models.
A new additional heat pump installation pack will also be available which is specifically for use with the QR smart pre-plumbed cylinder models. This pack, which is compatible with both the Aerona³ R32 heat pumps and Aerona 290 heat pumps, includes a flexi-foot kit, magnetic filter, 18l system kit, and isolator, and is designed for use on S-Plan systems.
A new 50l internal volumiser will also be available to order from Grant UK. This duplex stainless steel internal volumiser incorporates 50mm polyurethane foam insulation and has a white powder coated finish to suit airing cupboards and other internal environments within the home. An optional cylinder stand, which is designed to be fitted with this new internal volumiser, will be available to order for customers wishing to position the volumiser beneath the cylinder to save space and reduce the footprint of the two products.
“We have been working hard behind the scenes to give our customers ultimate choice and flexibility when it comes to heat pump installations,” said Paul Wakefield, Managing Director at Grant UK. “The addition of our new QR smart pre-plumbed cylinders will be welcomed by installers who want to install a pre-plumbed cylinder with our innovative Aerona Smart Controller. Furthermore, our new controller kits, installation pack, and cylinder accessories provide more solutions to suit our customers’ different installation requirements.
"The addition of these new products combined with the Aerona 290 air source heat pumps will make the Grant renewables range its most comprehensive offering to date, something we are very proud of here at Grant UK.”
