Overview

The compact DHC single phase instantaneous water heater is a hydraulically controlled water heater ideal for servicing your smaller hot water requirements, such as basins and sinks. The DHC compact hot water unit allows you to have hot water on demand, even in the most cramped spaces. The DHC single phase water heater is suitable for providing hot water for isolated sinks and basins in apartments, units, shops and factories.

The compact size of the DHC allows it to be installed in areas where conventional storage systems wouldn't fit, thanks to the fact that it does not require a safe tray or drainage (check local regulations).

The DHC compact water heater uses instantaneous water heating technology to save energy and water. The hydraulically controlled heating unit rapidly heats water only when you turn on the tap, ensuring that no heat is lost, and electricity wasted, while storing the water.

With the DHC instantaneous compact water heaters, you don't have to leave the tap running while waiting for hot water, allowing you to enjoy a significant saving on your electricity and water bills.
