Electric Water Heater - Works with Thermostatic Mixer Taps

[kentao1985]

Hi Guys,

I am looking for advice, I own a Nail Salon and would like to install a Pedicure Station for my clients.

The water needs to be heated using an electric heater before reaching the pedicure station, I`ve ordered

Redring Powerstream 9.5kW Instantaneous Water Heater

but the plumber has said that's not compatible with thermostatic mixer taps.

He thinks Ariston Pro 1 Eco might work but not 100%

I think it might be a bit overkill as 50l to fill a couple of basins and rinse some feet seams a bit much.

For the waste i have went with the Saniflo Sani Shower.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Kenny

Did he say why it won’t work with the taps? Just read instructions and its stated in there https://www.redring.co.uk/sites/def...tream with ErP Information (579 2152 20c).pdf

For the PowerStream one its states in the manual that its not compatible with the mixer taps for the pro1 eco version there was no mention if it would or wouldn't work with the mixers. i think he may be hesitant to buy it as he may be stuck with it if it doesn't work and they aint so cheap.

I imagine any mixer valve or tap could limit flow through the unit to the point of high temperatures being reached. For the Pro 1 eco version it’s worth checking with the manufacturer before committing to a purchase.
