Instant Dafi Water Heater 5.5 kW Dafi in line Product Description
Description: Can be used with standard mixers & taps. Electric energy is used only when hot water is drained off from the tap, which makes its power consumption lower than in the case of storage-type(tank) water heaters. The Dafi water heater supplies hot water immediately after the hot water hand wheel is turned on. The temperature of the outlet water depends on the power of the unit (kW), the flow rate and the inlet water temperature (which is much cooler in winter than summer). One water heater can supply one or more hot water supply terminals. The heater is especially useful in buildings with no gas supply system. Ideal if you don't have the room or budget for a centrally stored hot water cylinder. Heats water "instantly' as it flows through the heater. Water outlet via existing tap or mixer. Water inlet pressure range 0,6 - 6 bar. Each heater is individually tested prior to leaving the assembly unit Delivers instant warm water at point of use. Silvered electrical contacts to extend lifespan and reduces contact resistance. Money saving - all electricity used is converted into hot water instantly Space saving - DAFI water heater is the size of a beer mug, easy to install under sink or above Time saving - hot water is available within seconds of turning your hot water tap on Water saving - no wasting litres of cold water to get hot water Energy saving - consumes energy when it is being used - there are no standby energy losses Easy installation - only cold water and electrical supply required. The difference between in-line and flexible model is in the installation method. The In-line is supplied with a black single brass terminal ( cold - male 15mm ; hot - female 15mm connection ) and is designed to be hang of pipe. The flexible is supplied with a wall bracket and two reducers (male 15'') for flexible tap connectors.

Product Review: Be prepared to work
Once installed this water heater works well, although the water temperature varies with the water flow. Turn the tap on full and you will get lukewarm water; turn the pressure down and it gets hotter.
Installation is not straightforward. I bought it as a replacement for an existing heater and had thought I would simply need to wire it into the existing connections. Not so straightforward. This is a sealed unit which comes with a length of cable already wired in. I therefore needed to put in a junction box to connect it to the existing wiring. However I couldn't place this where the current wiring is, as this is below the wash basin and there is therefore a safety issue - electrical wiring and water not being a good mix. I therefore had to hack away some plaster to get at the existing wiring and chase it back to a point above the basin where I could safely install a junction box.
This isn't a "plug and play" unit - be prepared for some work on installation.
