Introduction
The Sanden Heat Pump Water Heater System has been designed using the latest
refrigeration technology to remove the heat from the air to heat water. The refrigerant we
use is CO
2
which does not contribute to global warming so it allows us to help keep a clean
healthy earth for future generations.
We have also considered the power requirement. By using CO
2
as the refrigerant we have
produced one of the most energy efficient units currently available. It’s even more efficient
when connected to off-peak power
and the noise level is so low it will operate
unobtrusively throughout the night.
How it works
The Heat Pump Water Heater System heats water by transferring the heat from the
surrounding air to the water using a refrigerant. The refrigerant is heated by a heat
exchanger that absorbs heat from the surrounding air (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Heat Pump Water Heater System
Note: Operating conditions may vary depending on the type of off-peak tariff that is
available in your area. The unit must have a minimum of 5 hours continuous power
available at all time to allow the unit to operate without affecting reliability.

If the water heater has been subjected to re, ood, natural disasters or physical damage, DO NOT operate the
water heater again until it has been checked by a qualied service technician.
Failure to do so will cause injury.
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water tank served by this water heater that has not been used for two
weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is extremely dangerous since it is ammable.
It is recommended to open the water faucet for few minutes before using any electrical appliance connected to
the hot water system.
If hydrogen gas is stored inside of a tank, there is a noise of air bleeding, in case that sound is heard, please do
not use re around the unit.

maximum operating pressure of 95PSI (655 kPa). To ensure the mains pressure
does not exceed this, first check incoming cold water mains pressure, and then a
pressure regulating device must be connected to the water supply line.
 This system delivers hot water exceeding 120 oF (50 oC).
Installation of a temperature tempering device is MANDATORY to avoid potential
scalds and burns.
 The unit must be stored and transported in an upright position. Failure to do so may
render the unit faulty. Such failure is not covered under any warranty agreements.

System operation using continuous power
 The system runs its water heating cycle once a day to fill up the storage tank unit
with heated water.
 If the block out time function is selected the unit will not operate during the block out
times – this function is typically used on installations that have time of use electricity
tariffs.
 The water heating cycle operation starts automatically when the residual hot water
in the tank unit is less than 40 gallons (150 litres).
 The system will not run if the electrical power supply is cut off (i.e. if it is connected
to demand response power). However, the system will automatically start operation,
once the electric power is restored.

System operation if connected to Demand Response power
 There are no special settings for the Demand Response. The system will run once
power becomes available and the temperature in the tank drops below the set point
of the tank thermistor.
 If connecting the unit to Demand Response power, ensure that the off peak tariff
provides a minimum of 5 hours continuous power, as it can take at least four hours
to fill the tank unit with hot water.
If the ambient temperature is lower than 50oF (10oC) this can be longer.
 If the unit is connected to Demand Response power and hot water consumption has
been higher than normal, hot water might not be available until the next power
supply cycle.
 Daily frequency and amount of hot water consumption may also affect the duration
of the heating cycle operation.
Select the electrical supply mode that best suits the customer’s hot water
consumption. The type of off-peak connection may need to be changed
if hot water supply is not maintained as required.
The basic system installation is now complete; the unit is now ready for initial filling,
air purge and then start up.
Check the Installation against the Installation Check list provided
at the end of this manual
Ensure that the work site is tidy; Sanden International recommends the use of Slim Duct or

If the unit is connected to Dry contact and hot water consumption has been higher
than normal, hot water might not be available until the next power supply cycle.

Water Supply Quality
Chloride, Water Hardness and pH
In high chloride water supply areas, the water can corrode some parts and cause them
to fail. Where the chloride level exceeds 200 mg/litre or Water Hardness level exceeds
200 mg/litre warranty does not apply to the heat pump unit and tank unit. pH is a
measure of whether the water is alkaline or acid. In an acidic water supply, the water
can attack the parts and cause them to fail.
No warranty applies to the heat pump unit and tank unit where the pH is less than 6.5
or more than 8.5. The water supply from a rainwater tank unit in a metropolitan area is
likely to be corrosive due to the dissolution of atmospheric contaminants.
Water with a pH less than 6.5 may be treated to raise the pH. It is recommended that
an analysis of the water from a rainwater tank be conducted before connecting this
type of water supply to the system.
Figure 15
Change of water supply
Changing, or alternating, from one water supply to another can have a detrimental
effect on the operation and/or life expectancy of the water tank unit cylinder, PTR valve,
water heating circulation and the water heat exchanger in the system. Where there is a
changeover from one water supply to another, for example, a rainwater tank supply,
desalinated water supply, public reticulated water supply or water brought in from
another supply, then water chemistry information should be sought from the supplier or
the water should be tested to ensure it meets the warranty requirements in this
installation manual.

Water Supply Quality (Supplemental)
Chloride and PH
In areas with a high concentration of chloride in the water, that water can cause
corrosion and subsequent failures. Where the chloride level exceeds 0.1 ounces per
gallons (200 mg/litre), the warranty is no longer valid on to the heat pump unit and tank
unit.
PH is a measure of whether the water is alkaline or acid. In an acidic water supply, the
water can attack the parts and cause them to fail.
No warranty coverage is given on the heat pump unit and tank unit where the PH is
less than 6.0.
Supply Water with a PH less than 6.0 may be treated to raise the PH.
It is recommended that an analysis of the Supply Water be conducted before
connecting the Heat pump unit to the system.
Figure 7 Chlorides and PH
Change of water supply
Changing, or alternating, from one water supply to another can have a detrimental
effect on the operation and/or life expectation of the water tank unit cylinder, PR valve,
water heating circulation and the heat exchanger in the system.
Where there is a changeover from one water supply to another, for example, a
rainwater tank supply, desalinated water supply, public recirculated water supply or
water brought in from another supply, then water chemistry information should be
sought from the supplier or the water should be tested to ensure it meets the warranty
requirements in this installation manual.
Water Supply Quality
Chloride, Water Hardness and pH
In high chloride water supply areas, the water can corrode some parts and cause them
to fail. Where the chloride level exceeds 0.1 ounces per gallons (200 mg/litre) or Water
Hardness level exceeds 0.1 ounces per gallons (200 mg/litre) warranty does not apply
to the heat pump unit and tank unit. pH is a measure of whether the water is alkaline or
acid. In an acidic water supply, the water can attack the parts and cause them to fail.
No warranty applies to the heat pump unit and tank unit where the pH is less than 6.5
or more than 8.5. The water supply from a rainwater tank unit in a metropolitan area is
likely to be corrosive due to the dissolution of atmospheric contaminants. Water with
a pH less than 6.5 may be treated to raise the pH. It is recommended that an analysis
of the water from a rainwater tank be conducted before connecting this type of water
supply to the system.
