6. HIGH PERFORMANCE ‘COIL-IN-COIL’
HEAT EXCHANGER
• High output ratings 16.52kW to
22.38kW
• More efficient transfer of energy
• Fast heat recovery
• Positioned low in the cylinder to
achieve more usable hot water
• 90-95% compared with 75-80% for
conventional coil
• Cold water inlet diffuser reduces
turbulence to minimise mixing of
hot and cold water

7. DUPLEX STAINLESS
STEEL CYLINDER
• Manufactured from high grade Duplex
stainless steel
• No anode is required
