Where can I find the Mixdevice code or QR code to register the warranty for my cylinder?
The Mixdevice and QR codes are printed on the data label located on the cylinder. They can also be found on two dedicated labels on the front and left-hand side of the Mixergy controller.
I have a Mixergy cylinder connected to a gas boiler. Do I need to replace the cylinder if I replace my gas boiler with a heat pump?
No, Mixergy cylinders are designed to work with either a boiler or a heat pump, you will however need the Mixergy Heat Pump Kit.
I have solar PV and would like to replace my existing cylinder with a Mixergy cylinder is this possible?
You have two options if your PV system has a PV diverter you can fit a Mixergy X cylinder along with the Mixergy PV switch which will work in conjunction with your existing PV diverter. Alternatively, if your PV system doesn’t have a PV diverter you can fit a Mixergy Solar X cylinder, which has an embedded solar diverter.
Which PV diverters are Mixergy tanks compatible with?
Mixergy tanks are compatible with all common PV diverters such as solar iBoost, immerSUN, and the myenergi eddi. If your system is specified for use with a PV diverter, we will provide a secondary immersion element for the diverter to plug into.
Do Mixergy cylinders work with Smart Energy Tariffs?
Mixergy cylinders are currently the only cylinders on the market which can be ‘Grid-enabled’ for use with smart energy tariffs from your electricity company.
What do I do if I have a technical problem?
If you find there are any issues with your tank once it has been installed, please see the User Guide provided with your tank or the Homeowner section of this site. You can find information on the Mixergy App and controls and settings or visit the troubleshooting guide.

What is the purpose of an expansion relief valve in a heating system?
The expansion relief valve is a crucial safety component in a hot water system. Its primary purpose is to protect the system from overpressure conditions that could potentially lead to serious safety hazards. If the pressure within the system exceeds the recommended levels, the relief valve automatically releases excess pressure, preventing damage to the components and ensuring the safety of the entire hot water system.
What is the purpose of a temperature and pressure relief valve?
A Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve, fitted near the top of the cylinder, is required to allow water to be discharged when store temperatures or pressures start approaching unsafe levels. Any water discharged in this way could be very hot.
If this happens turn off the power supply to the heat source (boiler, heat pump or immersion heater). Do not turn off the water until it is running cold.
What is the purpose of the Tundish?
The tundish is installed in the pipe coming from the relief valves and is placed in the pipeline to act as a fault indicator as water flows out of the safety valves under fault conditions.
Can I use more than one heat source to heat my water?
With a Mixergy tank, you can heat your water with a range of energy sources: gas or oil boiler, electric, solar PV, solar thermal, or heat pump. Read more about how our tanks work.
Use our guide to find the right Mixergy tank for you.
Can I use a combi boiler to heat my water?
Yes. You will need to plumb the Mixergy tank into your central heating loop (i.e. what your radiators connect to). The ‘combi’ part of your boiler would be disconnected, effectively converting the combi boiler into a system boiler.
Can Mixergy tanks also deliver space heating?
Mixergy tanks are designed for hot water delivery only. Space heating is generally intended to be provided by either boilers (70-80°C water) or heat pumps (30-45°C water) and use closed water loops. The water in these loops (i.e. your radiators or underfloor heating) is NOT potable and cannot be mixed with the hot water supply that the Mixergy tank delivers.
What is a cleansing cycle?
The cleansing cycle runs every two weeks. This sterilisation process will heat the tank entirely to 100% to prevent legionella growth.
Does Mixergy offer a service plan?
In addition to the warranty, Mixergy offers the Mixergy Care and Mixergy Care Plus plans. Once your tank has been registered, you can purchase these plans through the Mixergy App. Find out more about these plans and the warranty on our website's Warranty and Care plan page.
Transferring ownership of a Mixergy tank
If the account tied to your tank needs to be changed (if you are moving home for example), simply press and hold the boost down and power buttons for approximately 15 seconds. This will disassociate the existing account and enable you to register the tank. See the Mixergy App page for more information on registering your tank.
