This system pairs the Samsung Mono 8kW air source heat pump (6.37kW nominal winter output) with the Joule Kodiak 250L Standard Pre-Plumbed Cylinder, giving a mid-capacity heat pump substantial hot water reserve and four independent heating zones - a combination suited to larger UK homes with multiple heating circuits that don't need the full output of a 12kW or 16kW system. The Kodiak cylinder arrives factory pre-plumbed with its zonal control manifold already fitted, cutting installation time compared with plumbing a heat pump to a standard cylinder on site.
The patented modular zonal control manifold manages 4 zones - 1 hot water and 3 heating circuits - from a single compact unit, allowing radiators, multiple underfloor heating areas, and domestic hot water to each run to their own independent temperature settings. Built around Samsung's proven Gen 6 R32 monobloc platform, the heat pump operates down to -25°C outdoor air temperature, with the 250L cylinder giving a strong hot water buffer for households with above-average demand.

Additional Components Are Not Included
This listing covers the Samsung 8kW heat pump and Joule Kodiak 250L Standard cylinder only. Items such as the potable expansion vessel, Y strainer with isolation valve, braided hoses, anti-vibration feet, and heat pump fluid are not included and should be ordered separately to complete the installation.
MCS-Certified Installation Required
Installation must be carried out by an MCS-certified installer to ensure compliance with UK regulations, to qualify for available government funding schemes such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and to validate the full manufacturer warranty on both heat pump and cylinder.
Long-Term Warranty Cover
The heat pump carries a 7-year warranty when commissioned by Joule or a trained installer, while the Kodiak cylinder body is covered for up to 25 years with registration, and its components for 2 years - giving strong long-term protection across the whole system.
4-Zone Independent Control
The patented modular manifold manages 1 hot water zone and 3 heating zones independently, supporting more complex heating layouts than 3-zone alternatives at this heat pump capacity.
Substantial Hot Water Reserve
At 250 litres, this cylinder gives the 8kW heat pump considerably more hot water buffer than the 170L or 200L options in the same power band.
Factory Pre-Plumbed Cylinder
The 250L Kodiak arrives with its hydraulic and zonal control manifold pre-fitted, cutting on-site plumbing time compared with a bare cylinder and separate control kit.
True Monobloc Heat Pump
Samsung's Gen 6 outdoor unit has the entire refrigeration circuit factory-sealed, removing the need for on-site F-Gas handling.
Cold-Climate Reliability
Rated to operate continuously down to -25°C outdoor air temperature, maintaining heating output through UK winters.
High Gain Coil for Fast Recovery
The cylinder's high gain coil is designed for rapid heat-up and recovery, so hot water demand is met quickly even after high usage periods.

Check Ceiling Height Before Ordering
At 1,770mm tall, this cylinder requires adequate ceiling clearance in the plant room or airing cupboard. Confirm available headroom before ordering, particularly in loft or under-stair installations.
Why is the heat pump rated at both 8kW and 6.37kW?
8kW is the unit's nominal summer-rated capacity. In UK winter design conditions (A7/W35), the same unit delivers 6.37kW of usable heating output, which is the figure most relevant for sizing against a property's actual winter heat loss.
What comes in the box with this system?
This listing includes the Samsung 8kW heat pump and the 250L Kodiak Standard cylinder only. Additional components - expansion vessel, Y strainer, braided hoses, anti-vibration feet, and heat pump fluid - are not included and should be ordered separately.
Why does this cylinder have 4 zones rather than 3?
The 250L Kodiak paired with this 8kW heat pump is configured for 1 hot water zone and 3 heating zones, giving more independent heating circuits than the 3-zone 200L Slimline option in the same power band, suiting properties with more distinct heating areas.
Will this cylinder fit in a standard airing cupboard?
At 1,770mm in height, this is a tall unit. Always confirm available ceiling clearance and floor space before ordering, especially where the installation location has restricted headroom.
Is MCS certification required?
Yes. Installation should be carried out by an MCS-certified installer to comply with UK regulations, access funding schemes such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and validate the manufacturer warranty.
