The Dimplex package has been grouped into easy to select kits. Simply download our sizing guide, and then follow the 4 easy steps below, ticking one box at each stage.

Step 1 – select the cylinder

Based on the number of people living in the property and their water consumption at 45°C in 24 hours, select the size of the domestic hot water cylinder.

Choose either:

• Direct (one solar coil with electric immersion heater back up)
• Indirect (one solar coil and one coil for connection to a secondary heating source)

Step 2 – select the 1st fix kit

Based on the amount of hot water required select the number of solar panels. Once this is decided, choose the method of roof fixing.

Step 3 – select the 2nd fix kit

The hydraulic kit contains everything that is required inside the property, apart from the interconnecting pipes.

Step 4 – select the accessories

Also, don’t forget to order accessories to help speed up installation such as:

• flexible hoses.
• flush and fill station.
• feed through tiles.
• thermostatic mixing valves.

Solar Thermal and Heat Pumps

To get the lowest possible carbon emissions, it is possible to combine solar thermal collectors with a heat pump. To achieve this you need the Dimplex heat pump hydraulic kit, which contains the SST25 solar station. Cylinders should be correctly sized for heat pump use. Please contact the Dimplex renewable technical team for further advice.
