Grant UK launches new QR smart pre-plumbed cylinders

This month, alongside the launch of the Aerona 290 heat pump range, Grant UK will introduce several new products to its renewables range, including QR smart pre-plumbed cylinders with heat pump controller kits, a new installation pack, and an internal volumiser.

New smart cylinder from Grant UK

Available to order from October 2024, four new quick recovery smart pre-plumbed cylinders will join 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 options will speed up installation for installers, making on-site set-up and commissioning easier.

The QR smart pre-plumbed cylinders are available in four sizes – 180ltr, 210ltr, 250ltr and 300ltr – and are compatible with both of Grant’s heat pump ranges. Each model includes factory-fitted primary system pipework, factory-fitted cold water inlet pipework, and a potable water expansion vessel.

Customers can choose to remove the Aerona smart controller touchscreen display from the cylinder and locate it elsewhere if desired.

Controller kits and installation packs

In addition to the QR smart pre-plumbed cylinders, new controller kits will be available. Each kit will include the Aerona smart controller WiFi hub, an outdoor weather sensor, water temperature sensors, flexible hoses, and isolation valves.

Customers can order kits specific to the heat pump model being fitted, with separate kits for the Aerona³ R32 units and Aerona 290 models.

A new installation pack will also be available, designed for S-Plan systems and compatible with both the Aerona³ R32 and Aerona 290 heat pumps. This pack includes a flexi-foot kit, magnetic filter, system kit, and isolator.

Introducing the new internal volumiser

Grant UK will also offer a 50ltr internal volumiser, featuring 50mm polyurethane foam insulation and a white powder-coated finish, ideal for airing cupboards or internal environments. An optional cylinder stand is available to position the volumiser beneath the cylinder to save space.

Paul Wakefield, managing director at Grant UK, commented: “We have been working hard behind the scenes to give our customers ultimate choice and flexibility when it comes to heat pump installations.

“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.”
