Daikin Altherma 3 Heat Pump. Topping up the pressure.
Short video showing how to top up the system pressure on an Octopus Energy installed Daikin EDLA04E2V3 Heat Pump and 180ltr Daikin Cylinder: EKHWSU180D3V3.
You will be glad to know that I did not have to ring Octopus support line as the pressure held steady after that last attempt so must have just took a bit to steady itself.

I am waiting for my installation, thanks for the updates
How do you know which side to adjust first? I mean, which side is which? Yours seem to be the opposite way round to mine as shown to me by Octopus when they installed it.
Stuart, thanks for this video. How often are you finding you need to top up the pressure? I'm about to do it for the first time, but the system has only been in for a few weeks. My understanding was that it would be needed a couple of times a year.
Educational Video so WHY do we need music enough to drive you dulaly
Thanks for the video, l just needed that reminded what I had to do…
How did they closed the boiler flue opening? Or is it something you needed to sort?
They used expandable foam to fill the hole for me.
How are you getting on now you’ve had chance to put it to the test? Thanks for posting. Mike
Thanks Stuart.
How tall is the heat pump from the floor? Thinking about windows it could potentially block.
What I’d be very interested in is the cost of running this as opposed to your previous heating and hot water system.?
Wow i hope it runs well as everyone i know have had massive issue with there customer service being useless.
Jesus that music
I’d be interested in a video on how you setup the monitoring solution, and a real world look at what stats it’s giving you
Very useful video, thank you!
Good to hear the pressure stabilised because I wasn’t too hopeful when it dropped off so quickly. Would be interested in the monitoring data you mentioned. Did octopus fit the additional equipment for this or did you get it done afterwards?
I installed a esp32 board loaded with espaltherma which I connected to home assistant. I also got an electrician to fit a Shelley pro 50 in the heat pump consumer unit with ct clamps around the power cables to monitor the electricity used.
@@kindns Does the Daikin app not give these details? So is the esp 32 and Shelley essential?
@@HarjDoolno the Daikin app is very basic and gives hardly any info. You can get more from the mmi but still much more using the esp32 and Shelley. Have a look at people’s graphs on heatpumpmonitor.org and you will see the kind of info you can get.
@@kindnshello Stuart, do you have an email address for your RUclips channel ?
Just found your referral code above.
Sorry just noticed your comments. Did you manage to use my referral code ok?
Can you let me have your Octopus Referral code for Heat Pump Install.
I haven't seen any neater pipe runs, they all stand out like a sore thumb.
Hi Stuart - thanks for the video. Ours is being fitted soon. Why did you need planning permission, out of interest..? Thanks!
I had to get planning permission as my heat pump was calculated to be 1 decibel over the allowed level for the distance to the neighbours bedroom window.
I’ve just had a Heatpump installed by octopus, very similar install to yours. My only concern with yours is that going forwards for maintenance - the immersion heater is inaccessible should it ever need to be replaced. My installer made a point of saying they had to position the tank so that in the future it could be changed if required. You’ll probably have to cut a hole in the side of that cupboard to access it!
would think they would just remove the pipes to get the cylinder out then redo them again when new one in.
Plumbers have a habit of putting the immersion in places where it cannot be easily removed, they tend to do things that will make their life easier
A nice piece of white trunking would make the consumer unit at the front door look much better than black cliped cables
I've stuck a plant in the way for now but was thinking may put some trunking up.
I am not sure anything would make it less noticeable
1) music horrible; totally detracted from what you were saying. 2) overall it seems Octopus couldn’t plan a p…. Up in brewery. Why all the return visits - plan it and do right in the first place. 3) I have seen much neater pipe runs. Looking forward to hearing about your future journey. Thanks
Concur with the comment about the music although I did watch all the way through. It was intrusive and I couldn’t hear the heat pump when you showed that bit. Otherwise thank you. I will be interested in your winter performance.
Sorry. I can't listen with the annoying music conflicting with voice.
Informative video but spoiled by the irritating background noise. Sometimes it is difficult to hear the narrator over the music.
you talk about asbestos ceiling build in the 70s or is it the artex?
Yeah it was in the artex throughout most of my ceilings but Octopus insisted had to be removed.
@@kindnsartex has been de classified on the possible amount of asbestos that it might contain. Was it sampled? I have the same in my house and have had it sampled and the report is clear no problems.
Anti legionnaires should be up to 60C according to our Octopus install team.
Do you know if the legionella cycle uses the immersion heater or does the HP ramp to 55 degrees for this? I know the Valliant units can do 55 degrees without too much trouble as their max is 75 degrees but the R32 units have a max of 60 degrees.
I believe it heats up using heatpump to certain temp then tops up to 55 or 60 as default with the immersion. I do however have a problem with this as has never managed to complete. I did report this to octopus and had an engineer visit but still get the dreaded AH-00 error. I will do some more investigation and tweaking but may just disable the legionella cycle.
@@kindns That's a shame, hope it gets sorted. I know Heat Geek have a video on legionnaire cycles but haven't watched it. Assume the regular HW heating cycle doesn't involve the immersion?
My Mum had the same issue for the first three weeks of her install. Turns out the immersion that was fitted was the wrong one. It couldn’t reach the target temp. Octopus swapped it and she hasn’t seen the issue again.
I found getting water hammer and octopus keep trying all sorts to fix it, but problem still persists today and my initial install was start of April. Not really had the rads on, just the hot water. When they did come on they felt lukewarm warm so hope they get hotter in the winter or we will freeze to death.
Yeah the dads will only feel like warm at this time of year as the flow temp will only be in the 30s. This will increase as the weather gets colder.
Thanks for the update. Good to hear about effective follow-up. Ours starts Monday so fingers crossed for a really good week!
Thank you for sharing your specific journey. Neat jointing work and the final job looks really sound. At the end of the day, any scop over 3 will be good if you close the spark gap with gas to the point it is cheaper than. Will you be montoring the scop/efficiencies and reporting on those, too, for us?
Yes going to be monitoring my scop. Just find the Daikin ones on the mmi not particularly accurate as round up the usage. So far it’s reporting 4.66 on the heating and 2.7 on dhw. I’ve been setting up home assistant and got the esp bits to install in the heat pump when I’m brave enough to get accurate figures.
A video about your esp and ha experience works be good. I'm interested in doing same. Thanks @@kindns
Hi Stuart, Thanks for your interesting videos. I'm just waiting for my design to come from Octopus and then (hopefully!) we'll get a heat pump in before the cold weather arrives in the Autumn. Your videos have been really useful, showing me just what to expect. Cheers, Phil
Glad you found them useful and good luck with your install
Great video mate! Very informative. 👍👍👍
We’ve been running ours for 6 weeks now and it’s great 8kw Daikin very similar to you we ran the pipes parallel to the drainpipe and followed the roofline into the loft they did a great job. 👏
I like your videos they were very helpful, can I please ask what was your quote less the BUS. I am just waiting on the survey and have to say looking forward to having my ASHP installed. It be good for your next videos to show how to work the system and adjust the settings etc
The total cost once the BUS was taken off is £950. I did have to spend about an extra £500 on removing asbestos from the cupboard ceiling and getting planning permission. I only needed this as the pump was scored at 1 decibel over the allowed limit when closer than 6m to my neighbours bedroom window.
Good vid, did they give options for the external pipe routing, interested to see if flow and return can enter via loft and drop to airing cupboard, rather than longer wall routing. Interested to see your results a and spend
I wasn’t offered any other route for the pipe but sure they would have obliged if I had.
@@alexwebber2612they can. Mine is being installed next week. 1 run straight up into the loft, across and down 👍🏼
Getting mine tomorrow, very helpful vid tnx
Good stuff. May I ask: Did you need all radiators replacing? Were they flexible in radiator size and location? Did you have choice of hp location? What controls will they install do you know yet? What size is your existing radiator pipework sizing; it looked maybe 10mm? What was your heat loss calculated as and what hp size resulted? How long between survey and install? My fast quote just came in at 4200 so I'm wondering why the difference. Thanks for the videos; Very helpful 👍🏻
I'm wondering if my quote was higher due to floor area. I'm 140m2, What's yours?
mine is only 71m2
Just 4 rads were replaced. They are a bit flexible as long as they meet or exceed the heat loss for the room. In my kitchen they were originally going to add a second radiator but would have required more pipework so they agreed to put in a wider K3 one instead. My total heat loss was worked out as 4208 Watts. They have fitted a 4Kwh HP. I had the survey last August but due to lack of fitters couldnt book me in until this week.
Thank you for your answers. What model Daikin are they installing and what made you choose Octopus over another supplier?
@@MsDebcit’s a EDLA04E2V3. Chose Octopus due to the price and being large trusted company.
May i ask why you want a heat pump? Please keep the videos coming especially in winter please will be interesting thanks
Twofold really, one to do my bit for the environment and secondly financial. I believe as long as I can get a scop over 3 and being on Octopus Agile it should be a fair bit cheaper than gas. It also only cost £950 after the grant. Although did have to spend about £500 on planning permission and to remove asbestos from the cupboard ceiling.
Asbestos removal is an improvement to the house in and of itself.
