I NSTALLATION OF THE EKHWS DOMESTIC HOT
WATER TANK
In case of limited consumption of domestic hot water, e.g. at holiday
residences or at houses that are occasionally not occupied, the
domestic hot water tank installation must be fitted with a shunt pump.
■ The shunt pump can be time-controlled,
■ the shunt pump must operate to circulate the complete volume
of the domestic hot water tank 1.5 times per hour,
■ and the shunt pump must operate, or be programmed for
operation, during 2 uninterrupted hours per day at least.
In case of very long field water piping between the domestic hot
water tank and the hot water end point (shower, bath, etc.) it can take
more time before the hot water from the domestic hot water tank
reaches the hot water end point.
If required connect a recirculation pump in between the hot water end
point and the recirculation hole in the domestic hot water tank.
Following descriptions are only for EKHWS*V3 and
EKHWS*Z2 models, not for EKHWSU*V3 models
Main components
■ The total AD system (indoor unit
and outdoor unit) is designed for combination with an
AD domestic hot water tank. In case
another tank is being used in combination with the
AD indoor unit, Daikin cannot
guarantee neither good operation nor reliability of the
system. For those reasons Daikin cannot give
warranty of the system in such case.
■ The temperatures of supplied hot water by the
AD domestic hot water tank can
exceed 50°C. Relevant national or local regulations
requiring additional temperature control devices must
be complied with.
■ The equipment is not intended for use in a potentially
explosive atmosphere.
■ Only this tank can be used in combination with the
solar kit option.
■ Domestic hot water quality must be according to EU
directive 98/83 EC.
■ A drain device should be installed on the cold water
connection on the domestic hot water tank.
■ For safety reasons, it is not allowed to add ethylene
glycol to the water circuit. Adding ethylene glycol
might lead to contamination of the domestic water if a
leakage would occur in the heat exchanger coil.
■ It is important that the storage capacity of the
domestic hot water tank meets normal daily
fluctuations in consumption of domestic hot water
without any fall of the water outlet temperature during
use.
■ Immediately after installation, the domestic hot water
tank must be flushed with fresh water. This procedure
must be repeated at least once a day the first 5
consecutive days after installation.

■Before carrying out any maintenance or repair activity,
always switch off the circuit breaker on the supply
panel, remove the fuses or open the protection
devices of the unit.
■Make sure that before starting any maintenance or
repair activity, also the power supply to the outdoor
unit is switched off.
■Domestic hot water tank pressure relief valve (field
supply)
■A check for correct operation of the pressure relief
valve installed on your domestic hot water tank,
has to be carried out at least every 6 months: it is
important that the lever on the valve is actuated to
prevent accumulation of mineral deposits that may
impair valve operation and to confirm that the valve
and discharge pipe are not blocked. The lever
should be operated slowly and smoothly to avoid a
sudden rush of hot water from the discharge pipe.
Failure to operate the relief valve actuating lever
may result in the water heater exploding.
■Continuous leakage of water from the discharge
pipe may indicate a problem with the water heater.
■Domestic hot water tank booster heater
It is advisable to remove lime buildup on the booster
heater to extend its life span, especially in regions
with hard water. To do so, drain the domestic hot
water tank, remove the booster heater from the
domestic hot water tank and immerse in a bucket (or
similar) with lime-removing product for 24 hours.
When carrying out an inspection on the supply panel or on
the switch box of the unit, always make sure that the circuit
breaker of the unit is switched off.
