FAQs
What is the primary function of the internal heat exchanger?
The internal heat exchanger allows you to connect an external heat source, such as a central heating system or solar panels, to pre-heat or fully heat the water, thus saving electricity and energy costs.
How long does it take to heat 81 litres of water?
Heating times vary depending on the incoming water temperature, the set thermostat temperature, and whether an auxiliary heat source is used. Refer to the product's detailed specifications or manual for estimated heating times.
What is the 'Patented Piston Effect'?
This feature helps to control the refilling of the tank, ensuring a more consistent water level and potentially improving efficiency.
Can this water heater be used for commercial purposes?
Yes, it is suitable for various applications including homes, businesses, kitchens, and hair salons due to its reliable hot water supply and capacity.
What safety features are included?
The unit includes a Temperature Pressure Release Valve (PRV) and a Non-Return Valve. It also features a Thermal Load Temperature Safety Cut Out.
What is the average electricity consumption?
The 80-litre option consumes an average of 1.32 kWh of electricity per 24-hour cycle.
Does it come with a warranty?
Warranty information is typically provided by the manufacturer or retailer at the time of purchase. Please refer to your product documentation or the seller for details.
Troubleshooting
No hot water or insufficient hot water
Check the power supply to the unit. Verify thermostat settings are correct. Ensure the heat exchanger (if connected to an auxiliary system) is functioning and providing heat. For the 80-litre model, note the limited continuous output time.
Water leaking from the unit
Immediately shut off the water supply and power to the heater. Inspect all connections, especially around the inlet/outlet pipes and safety valves. Contact a qualified technician for repair.
Indicator light not illuminating
Verify the unit is receiving power. Check the thermostat and heating element for faults. Consult the user manual for specific light code interpretations.
Unusual noises from the unit
This could indicate scale buildup. Regular maintenance and descaling might be required. If noises persist, contact a professional.
