Product Information
Full details
The Quality Heating 50 Litre Electric Water Heater is an ideal solution for properties lacking a gas supply, such as small flats, kitchenettes, or professional salons. Its primary benefit is efficient, consistent hot water delivery supported by an intelligent learning mode that optimizes heating based on your specific usage habits. While it provides excellent performance for localized needs, its 50-litre capacity may prove insufficient for larger households requiring multiple simultaneous hot water sources.

FAQs
Is this water heater suitable for a whole house?
At 50 litres, it is best suited for localized use like a kitchenette, flat, or a single bathroom rather than a large family home.
What does the B energy efficiency class mean?
It indicates that the unit is highly efficient at retaining heat, resulting in lower electricity consumption compared to lower-rated models.
How often should I run the antibacterial cycle?
It is recommended to run this cycle periodically, such as once a week, to ensure the tank remains hygienic.
Can I install this unit myself?
No. Due to the electrical and plumbing requirements, it must be installed by a qualified professional to remain safe and compliant.
What is the purpose of the magnesium anode?
The anode protects the interior of the tank from corrosion by attracting minerals in the water, effectively sacrificing itself to keep the tank intact.
Will the heater work if I have a gas supply?
Yes, it can be used regardless of your gas supply, but it is specifically designed for properties that do not have access to gas-powered water heating.
Troubleshooting
Water is not reaching the set temperature
Verify the unit is in active mode and check the digital control panel for any error codes. Ensure the learning mode hasn't shifted your heating schedule unexpectedly.
Visible leaking from connections
Shut off the power supply and water inlet immediately. Tighten the fittings if they are loose or contact a plumber if a seal has failed.
Digital control panel is unresponsive
Check the local breaker to ensure the unit has power. If the breaker is on, reset the unit by switching the power off for 30 seconds and turning it back on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Quality Heating water heater should always be carried out by a qualified professional to ensure all electrical and plumbing standards are met.
- Placement: Ensure the wall chosen for mounting can support the combined weight of the unit and the water volume (50kg+).
- Electrical: Verify your home circuit matches the power requirements listed on the unit's rating plate.
- Care: The magnesium anode is a sacrificial component. Inspect it every 12 to 24 months depending on your local water hardness; replace it if it shows significant corrosion to prevent damage to the internal tank.
- Maintenance: Regularly trigger the 80°C antibacterial cycle to keep the system clean and perform a visual check of the connections annually to ensure no leaks have developed.
