What are the dimensions of the 170Sr model?

The dimensions for the 170Sr model are Height: 1384mm, Width: 630mm, Depth: 720mm.

Can I use this cylinder with any heating system?

This is an indirect unvented cylinder, so it requires a compatible heat source like a boiler. It's essential to ensure your heating system is suitable and powerful enough for the cylinder's capacity.

How do I clean the exterior of the cylinder?

You can clean the exterior of the cylinder with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.

What is the benefit of the 'SystemReady' design?

The 'SystemReady' design means the cylinder is pre-plumbed and pre-wired, significantly reducing the time and complexity of installation.

How often should the cylinder be serviced?

It is recommended to have the cylinder and its associated heating system inspected and serviced annually by a qualified heating engineer to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Troubleshooting

No hot water or insufficient hot water

Check that the primary heating source (boiler) is operational and set correctly. Verify that the diverter valve (if applicable) is functioning and directing hot water to the cylinder. Ensure the thermostat is set to the correct temperature and that the cylinder has had sufficient time to heat up.

Water dripping from pressure relief valve

A small amount of dripping during the heating cycle can be normal due to expansion. However, persistent dripping may indicate excessive system pressure, a faulty valve, or an issue with the internal expansion system. A qualified engineer should inspect this.

Strange noises from the cylinder

Noises like banging or whistling can sometimes indicate scale buildup or air in the system. Ensure the system is correctly vented and that the heat source is functioning without issue. Sediment buildup can also cause noise and may require flushing.

Error codes on a connected boiler system

Consult the boiler's manual for specific error code meanings. The issue may lie with the boiler's operation or communication with the hot water cylinder, requiring a professional diagnosis.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduced installation time due to pre-plumbed and pre-wired features.
  • Simplified installation with the integrated internal expansion system, negating the need for external components.
  • Reliable and efficient hot water delivery.
  • Extended peace of mind with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.
  • Environmentally conscious design.

Cons

  • As an indirect system, it requires a separate, compatible heat source (e.g., boiler).
  • The dimensions (H - 1384mm x W - 630mm x D - 720mm for the 170Sr model) require adequate installation space.
  • Initial cost may be higher than basic unvented cylinders due to advanced features.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Baxi Assure SystemReady is designed for straightforward installation. Ensure the chosen location can accommodate the cylinder's dimensions and has appropriate access for plumbing and electrical connections. Follow the manufacturer's detailed installation manual precisely, paying close attention to pipework connections, electrical wiring, and any pressure relief valve requirements. The internal expansion system simplifies the process, but correct integration with the heating system is vital.

Compatibility: This is an indirect unvented hot water cylinder. It requires a compatible heat source such as a gas boiler, oil boiler, or renewable energy system (e.g., heat pump) capable of heating the water within the cylinder via its indirect coil. Ensure your heating system's output is sufficient for the chosen cylinder size. Always check specific compatibility requirements with your installer or the Baxi technical department.

Care: Routine maintenance is key to ensuring longevity and optimal performance. Annually, it is recommended to have the system checked by a qualified heating engineer. This includes inspecting the temperature and pressure relief valves, checking the anode (if applicable) for signs of corrosion, and ensuring all connections are secure. Cleaning the exterior can be done with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Refer to the user manual for detailed care instructions.
