Safety
Overheat temperature protection 75°C (manual reset).
Water temperature electronically controlled to maintain user selected temperature between 30°C and 60°C as water pressure conditions vary.
IP Rating
IPX4
Installation
This appliance must be installed in a frost free environment.
The heater should be located as close as is practicable to the hot water outlet to avoid unnecessary heat losses through the pipework.
Plumbing
Must be installed by a suitably qualified person.
Minimum flow rate 2.5 l/m.
Minimum water pressure 1 bar.
Maximum water pressure 7.5 bar.
Water resistivity ≥ 1300 Ωcm.
Water Connection
Inlet/ Outlet 2 x 1/2" BSP male (100mm apart centre to centre).
Fittings required (not supplied): 2 x 15mm compression to 1/2" BSP female adapter.
Suitable for use with pre-heated water e.g. solar heating systems subject to maximum inlet water temperature 60°C.
Electrical Connection
Installation must comply with current IEE regulations.
Single phase, fuse rating guide 42 amps.
The product should be connected to the fixed wiring of the property via suitably rated isolating switch with a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles.
Approvals
CE, UKCA, WRAS
Standard Warranty
2 year parts or replacement warranty.
Temperature Rise
Temperature rise from ambient for an instantaneous water heater (TR)
TR = kW rating x 14.3 / flow rate l/m
Application
Recommended temperature for hand washing or shower 38°C.
Recommended temperature for a kitchen sink 50°C.
Ara, Rho and Aquila Instantaneous water heaters are intended for use with spray head taps with removable M22/ M24 nozzles. A tap spray nozzle must be fitted in the tap to control the water flow rate and to provide best performance and energy and water efficiency.
Selection Guide
Take into account that the incoming water supply temperature will be lower in the winter than summer.
The incoming water temperature can fluctuate dependent on time of year in the UK. Winter may result in incoming temperatures below 10°C, whereas summer water temperatures can be upwards of 15°C. It is imperative this is taken into account.
For example the heater could deliver 42°C water in the summer (with an incoming water supply temperature of 15°C). The same product with the same flow rate would only be able to deliver 37°C in winter (due to a lower incoming water temperature of 10°C). The delivered temperature will be even lower if the incoming water supply temperature is less than 10°C.
Check the flow rate and water temperature will be adequate for your application using the chart and tables provided below using each link.

Energy Efficiency
The Energy Related Products (ErP) Directive and Energy Labelling Directive require that from September 2015 all water heaters in scope meet minimum energy performance criteria and have energy labels which provide the energy ration of the product. The classifications range from A++; this being the most efficient and coded in green to a rating of G; this being less efficient and coded in red.
Such ratings provide transparency of efficiency and a comparable benchmark for water heating products, as standardised European Energy Labels are used.
This website contains the energy class for all relevant water heating products. The full energy label and product fiche information for the Aquila can be found below.
