FAQs

What is an 'indirect' unvented hot water cylinder?

An indirect cylinder uses a heat exchanger coil inside it, heated by an external source like a boiler, to heat the stored water. 'Unvented' means it operates without an open vent pipe to the atmosphere, requiring safety devices to manage pressure.

Do I need a special boiler for this cylinder?

You need a boiler that can provide sufficient heat output to the indirect coil. Most modern domestic boilers are suitable, but it's best to check the boiler's specifications against the cylinder's heating requirements.

Why is installation time reduced?

The cylinder comes pre-plumbed and pre-wired with most connections and safety features already installed, significantly speeding up the connection process for the installer.

What is the benefit of the internal expansion system?

It means you do not need to install a separate, external expansion vessel to accommodate the expansion of water when heated. This saves space, reduces installation complexity, and lowers material costs.

How long does the warranty last?

The Baxi Assure SystemReady cylinder comes with a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.

What are the dimensions of the 250-litre model?

The dimensions are Height: 1738mm, Width: 630mm, and Depth: 720mm.

Can I install this myself?

Due to the unvented nature and safety requirements, installation must be carried out by a qualified heating engineer familiar with unvented systems.

Troubleshooting

No hot water or insufficient hot water

Check the boiler is firing and heating the water. Verify electrical supply to the cylinder's controls (if applicable). Ensure the thermostat is set correctly. Check for any closed isolation valves on the heating circuit.

Leaking from cylinder or connections

Immediately turn off the water supply and isolate the heating source. Contact a qualified engineer to inspect and repair the leak. Do not use the system until repaired.

Strange noises from the cylinder

Gurgling or banging noises can indicate air in the system. Bleed the heating circuit or hot water system as per standard practice. If noise persists, consult an engineer.

Low water pressure at taps

Check the mains water pressure and ensure no other outlets are drawing water. Inspect the inlet control valve on the cylinder. If issues persist, contact a plumber.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces installation time and labor costs.
  • Internal expansion system saves space and simplifies fitting.
  • High performance and reliability for consistent hot water.
  • Long 10-year warranty offers excellent peace of mind.
  • Environmentally conscious design contributes to efficiency.

Cons

  • Requires specific installation space due to its dimensions.
  • Indirect system requires a compatible boiler for heating.
  • May require professional installation due to its unvented nature.
  • Initial cost might be higher than basic direct cylinders, though long-term value is high.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Baxi Assure SystemReady cylinder is designed for rapid installation. It requires connection to a compatible indirect heat source (e.g., a boiler), mains cold water supply, and a hot water distribution system. All necessary connections are pre-fitted, including safety devices. Professional installation by a qualified heating engineer is strongly recommended due to the unvented nature of the system.

Compatibility: This indirect cylinder is compatible with most domestic boilers (gas, oil, biomass) that can provide sufficient heat output. It requires a suitable pressure and temperature relief valve system, which is integrated. Ensure your heating system's boiler has adequate capacity to heat the chosen cylinder volume efficiently.

Care: Routine maintenance involves checking the pressure relief valve periodically as per manufacturer guidelines. Annual servicing of the connected boiler and heating system is recommended. The exterior of the cylinder can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the area around the cylinder remains clear for ventilation and access.
