It is very important that the mechanism is operated gently. Check to ensure the valve closes
correctly.
Note: providing some hot water discharge has been observed from the relief valve during normal
heating cycles, manually activating the valve is not necessary and could cause contamination / grit
to lodge in the relief valve seat causing constant leakage.
An inspection for any obvious signs of corrosion of the outer case or air intake grills should also
be conducted.
6f.2: Five Year Service
(By Authorized Personnel Only)
The five-year service should be carried out by a licensed tradesperson every five years. It is
recommended that your local Quantum distributor or service agent carry out this service. The
service should include the following: -
1. Replace the Pressure & Temperature Relief valve.
2. Replace the anode.
3. Flush the water heater.
4. Checking of the refrigeration system.
5. Checking of thermostats, digital controller and electrical components.
If in doubt, contact Quantum Energy Technologies for your nearest distributor or service agent.

6f.3: Access & Removal Of Sacrificial Anode
The anode can be accessed via the heat pump section, to remove.
1. Turn off power to the unit, cut into water valve, open PTR valve to release pressure on the
system.
2. Remove the screws around the top cover of the heat pump & remove the heat pump top
cover.
3. For easier access the front inspection panel on the heat pump section should also be
removed.
4. Locate and remove the plastic plug through the centre of the heat pump chassis.
5. The anode head is now accessible and can be unscrewed with a suitable 1
1
/
16
” socket
wrench.
6. Once unscrewed the anode can be drawn out through the top of the tank / heat pump
section.

The new anode can then be fitted and the heater reassembled.
6f.4: Flushing Of Water Tank
As with other hot water heater tanks, dissolved solids in the water or scale may accumulate in the
bottom of the water tank forming sludge. This is generally less of a problem with Quantum units
as no internal elements or burners are used.
If such sludge build-up does occur the following procedure can be followed to clean out the tank.
1. Turn Off power to the unit.
2. Turn Off water supply to the unit.
