Available in four sizes which can also be combined, these are the right solution to perfectly match the hot water requirements of your property.The perfect replacement for direct hot water cylinders. Heated by an internal element supplying hot water at the temperature you need for your property including powerful showers.
How does Sunamp work?
Instead of trying to heat up a large amount of water – which is time-consuming and not energy efficient – Sunamp uses electricity to heat up the material inside the battery. This material heats up rapidly and stays warm for far longer than water. It loses 2 to 4 times less heat than a traditional hot water tank – saving money and reducing CO2 emissions. When water is run through pipes inside the PCM battery, the water is heated up instantly to bring you fast-flowing hot water on demand.
What is it made from?
The Sunamp battery is made from inorganic, Sodium Acetate based PCM material. This is the technical name for what is actually a food-grade material, used (amongst other things) as a common flavouring for salt and vinegar crisps. It’s non-toxic, plentiful and easy to source, non-flammable, and has a long life (50 years of daily use and no degradation).
