Product overview
Fifteen litres is the usual choice for a bathroom serving one or two people, giving roughly two consecutive showers before the tank needs to reheat. The 8 bar pressure rating is the specification to check in apartments: buildings above about eight floors often exceed the 6 bar rating of budget heaters, and an under-rated tank will fail. The glass-lined tank and magnesium anode rod slow corrosion, though the anode is a consumable and should be inspected every couple of years in hard-water areas.
Key capabilities
- 15 litre storage capacity
- 8 bar pressure rating for high-rise use
- Glass-lined tank with magnesium anode
- Multi-function safety valve
