Joule Invacyl Slimline Direct Unvented Hot Water Cylinder 90L 120L 150L 180L 210L

Joule Invacyl Slimline Direct Unvented Hot Water Cylinder 90L 120L 150L 180L 210L

The Joule Invacyl Slimline Direct is a direct electric unvented hot water cylinder built for spaces where even the Cyclone Plus won't quite fit. With a 475 mm slimline diameter, factory-fitted 3 kW Incoloy immersion heaters, and a full G3 unvented kit included, it delivers mains-pressure hot water to single or multiple outlets — all from a cylinder manufactured in Duplex stainless steel and backed by a 25-year vessel warranty. Available in 90 L, 120 L, 150 L, 180 L and 210 L.

Key Features
Duplex Stainless Steel Vessel

The cylinder body is fabricated from high-grade Duplex stainless steel — corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and proven in UK water conditions. The material handles both soft and moderately hard water without degradation. Joule's 25-year vessel warranty is transferable if the property is sold.

Slimline 475 mm Diameter

At 475 mm in diameter, the Invacyl Slimline Direct fits into narrow airing cupboards, apartment plant rooms and loft spaces that cannot accommodate a standard-width cylinder. This makes it a natural solution for new-build apartments and urban conversions where floor plan efficiency is critical.

Two Factory-Fitted Incoloy Immersions

The cylinder is supplied with two 3 kW Incoloy immersion heaters factory-fitted and tested at 230 V. The top immersion handles daily boost heating; the lower handles overnight Economy 7 or off-peak charging. Incoloy resists scale better than copper and is Joule's standard heater element choice.

Mains-Pressure Hot Water

As an unvented direct cylinder, the Invacyl connects directly to the incoming mains cold supply — no cold-water storage tank required. The result is high-pressure hot water to every outlet simultaneously: powerful showers, fast bath filling and consistent performance throughout the property.

Caleffi Branded Safety Kit Included

The full G3 unvented kit is included in the box — inlet control group (strainer, PRV, expansion relief valve), expansion vessel and hose, tundish, T&P relief valve, and dual cylinder thermostat with high-limit cut-out. Safety components are branded Caleffi, with compression fittings as standard for a faster, more reliable installation.

ErP Compliant with Smart Immersion

The Invacyl Slimline Direct achieves ErP Class C — the highest achievable for a direct electric cylinder — and is compatible with smart immersion controllers. This includes solar PV diverters, time-of-use tariff optimisers, and smart home energy management systems, helping occupants use low-cost or free electricity to heat water.

White Outer Casing

The cylinder comes in a white outer casing with a plastic T&P safety cover and colour-coded tapping collars. The colour coding helps installers identify connection points at a glance, reducing errors on site and speeding up commissioning in tight spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Invacyl and the Cyclone Plus Direct Slim?
Both are Joule slimline direct unvented cylinders at 475 mm diameter. The Cyclone Plus is Joule's premium line, featuring the coil-in-coil smooth-tube heat exchanger, premium white outer casing and more comprehensive component set. The Invacyl is Joule's value-tier slimline direct cylinder — still manufactured from Duplex stainless steel and carrying a 25-year vessel warranty, but with a more straightforward feature set and lower price point. For pure electric-only direct use without enhanced heat recovery, the Invacyl is an excellent choice.
Can the Invacyl be used on Economy 7 or off-peak electricity?
Yes. The two factory-fitted immersions allow a dual-tariff setup: the lower immersion is wired to the Economy 7 overnight supply and heats the full cylinder during cheap-rate hours; the upper immersion can be connected to the day rate for top-up boost heating. This makes the Invacyl well-suited to new-build apartments where there is no gas connection and off-peak electricity is available.
Does the Invacyl need annual servicing?
Yes — Building Regulations and Joule's guidance require an annual service by a G3-qualified engineer. The engineer will check and test the T&P valve, expansion relief valve, inlet strainer, expansion vessel pre-charge, and thermostat settings. Regular servicing keeps the system safe, maintains the warranty and ensures the components continue to function within specification.
What water quality does Joule require?
The Joule warranty does not cover damage caused by water with a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) content exceeding 600 mg/L. In areas approaching this limit, fit an appropriate in-line water filter. Where TDS or other water parameters exceed Joule's stated thresholds, the Joule Wellmaster cylinder (designed for harder water) must be specified.
What size cylinder do I need?
As a rough guide, allow 35–45 L per person per day. A 90 L model typically suits 1–2 people; 120–150 L suits 2–3; 180–210 L suits 3–4+. For properties with multiple bathrooms or high simultaneous demand, lean towards the larger size. Your G3 installer can calculate demand precisely based on shower flow rates and usage patterns.
