The Aquaheat all set-up and ready to go .
Other information displayed includes the status of the burner flame that also doubles as a fault code display . This is designed to help diagnose any problems with the burner due to a lack of water , gas , or the unit being unbalanced .
On the power front , the Aquaheat runs on a built-in lithium battery that lasts an average run time of 45-50 minutes . The battery can be recharged via a 12V cig socket plug that ’ s supplied , or a 240V adapter that can be purchased separately . It takes about four to five hours to fully recharge the battery .
The Aquaheat heats water via its built-in gas regulator , which runs off a 468g large screw-on style propane cartridge . However , it ’ s also possible to use the unit with a normal gas cylinder if you source your own adaptor hose .
A detailed user manual is also supplied with the unit that has easy to follow and illustrated step-bystep instructions . This includes a troubleshooting guide for any error codes . In total , the unit weighs about 7.5kg , which includes its accessories , and has dimensions of 442x163x380mm ( LxWxH ).
HOW IT WORKS
Setting up the Aquaheat is a relatively quick process . After ensuring the battery is charged , simply fit the gas canister and connect the hoses . Then , it ’ s just a matter of dropping the supply hose that has the pump attached to it into a bucket of water .
Once the unit is switched on , check the battery level is sufficient ; otherwise , you can connect the 12V adaptor to charge the unit while it ’ s in use . Position the gas temperature control somewhere in between ‘ min ’ and ‘ max ’ before pressing the ‘ start ’ button to get the water flowing . This is when the electronic ignition that lights the burner kicks in and the outlet water temperature reading will start to increase .
Hoses and the pump outlet are located on the front of the unit .
The control panel is easy to read and fairly self-explanatory .
