Product Information

Full details

The Redring MS15 15 Litre Unvented Electric Water Heater is ideal for small kitchens, hand basins, outbuildings, and extensions needing a compact hot water solution. Its key benefit is providing 15L of stored hot water with quick recovery thanks to a 2.0kW element, fitting neatly into cupboards. A potential caveat is its 15L capacity, which may be insufficient for high-demand scenarios. Key features include a front-facing thermostatic control, LED status indicator, rustproof glass-lined tank, and easy installation with a pre-wired UK plug.

FAQs

What is the warranty period for the Redring MS15?

The Redring MS15 comes with a 1-year manufacturer's guarantee for peace of mind.

Can this water heater be installed outdoors?

While designed for internal installation, it can be used in a well-protected outbuilding. It must be protected from direct weather exposure and freezing temperatures.

How long does it take to heat 15 litres of water?

With its 2.0kW element, a full reheat from cold typically takes approximately 30-40 minutes, depending on the incoming water temperature.

Do I need a plumber to install this?

While the unit includes a plug for direct connection, it is highly recommended to have it installed by a qualified plumber and electrician to ensure correct plumbing, electrical safety, and compliance with regulations, especially for unvented systems.

What is the maximum temperature it can heat water to?

The thermostatic control allows for adjustable temperature settings. Specific maximum temperature depends on the setting chosen by the user, but generally within safe domestic hot water ranges.

Is this suitable for a family bathroom?

The 15-litre capacity is generally too small for the simultaneous hot water demands of a family bathroom shower or bath. It is best suited for point-of-use applications or areas with lower hot water requirements.

What maintenance is required?

Regularly check for leaks and inspect the unit. Depending on your water hardness, periodic descaling might be recommended by the manufacturer to maintain performance and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Unit does not heat water

Check that the power supply is connected and the circuit breaker has not tripped. Verify the thermostat is set to a heating temperature and the LED indicator shows it is active. Ensure the unit has been correctly filled with water.

Leaking from connections

Ensure all plumbing connections are securely tightened. Check the integrity of washers and seals. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber.

Low hot water pressure

Verify that the cold water supply valve is fully open. Check for any kinks or blockages in the water inlet pipe. Ensure incoming mains water pressure is adequate.

Noisy operation (e.g., rumbling, popping)

This can indicate scale build-up within the tank. Regular descaling as per manufacturer instructions may be necessary. Ensure the unit is correctly installed and filled.

LED indicator not functioning

Check the power supply. If the unit is heating but the LED is off, there may be an issue with the indicator light itself. Contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact and space-saving design, suitable for cupboard installation.
  • Quick heat-up and recovery with a 2.0kW element.
  • User-friendly with front-facing thermostatic control and LED indicator.
  • Durable construction with a rustproof glass-lined tank.
  • Includes necessary components for straightforward installation.

Cons

  • 15-litre capacity may be insufficient for multiple high-demand uses simultaneously.
  • Electric heating can be more expensive to run than gas in some areas.
  • Requires a dedicated electrical circuit, adding to installation complexity if not already present.
  • Unvented systems require specific safety considerations during installation and maintenance.
  • Dependent on mains water pressure for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Location: Choose a suitable location, ideally a cupboard, ensuring adequate ventilation and access for maintenance.
  2. Mounting: Securely attach the provided wall-mounting bracket to a solid wall.
  3. Plumbing: Connect the water inlet and outlet pipes according to local regulations and manufacturer instructions. Ensure dielectric connectors are used to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  4. Electrical: The unit comes pre-wired with a 1m UK plug. Connect this to a suitable, fused electrical socket. It is recommended that this is installed by a qualified electrician, especially if a dedicated circuit is required.
  5. Filling: Before first use, the unit must be completely filled with water. Open a hot water tap connected to the heater and allow water to flow until all air is purged and a steady stream of water emerges. Then, power on the unit.

Compatibility:

  • Water Supply: Connects to the cold water mains supply. Ensure adequate water pressure.
  • Electrical Supply: Requires a standard 230V UK mains power supply. The 2.0kW rating should be considered for your electrical circuit's capacity.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check for leaks. Descaling may be required depending on water hardness, following manufacturer guidelines. The glass-lined tank is designed for longevity but regular inspection is advised.
  • Frost Protection: In unheated areas, ensure the unit is drained if there is a risk of freezing.
