Forget about requiring an external energy source to light your hot water system. The Bosch HydroPower Range is the new generation of hot water system ignition, creating energy purely from water flow.
Cold water entering the HydroPower water heater generates enough power to replace the need for batteries, standing pilot lights or external power points. This ensures the highest level of environmental sustainability and cost effectiveness you expect from Bosch water heaters.
Cons:
Bosch service, unreliable, cover gets blown off the wall continuously, generally Bosch call centre and their so called service agents dont give two hoots about the product. Service reps refuse to answer and return phone calls
Overall:
Better NOT buy a Bosch.We had this installed as part of our new house, builder referred all to Bosch. According to a plumber friend, the hydropower setup is unreliable and flawed. If I ever need another HWS look at other than this joke of a unit. If I didnt have guidance from other sources, I would still be without hot water( 3 months). Bosch are worse than dealing with Government departments
Pros:
Constant Hot water, No need for pilot light or external power point
Cons:
none so far.
Overall:
Only got a Bosch 16H unit installed last week and was really worried about it after reading all the negative reviews here. we installed the unit outside between the ensuite and the main bathroom and insulated the copper piping. we get hot water within a few seconds in both the bathrooms and its constantly hot. we are really impressed with it. it does take a while longer for the hot water to get to the kitchen as its right over the other end of the house. not much longer than it did with our old solaheat unith though.
Cons:
I find the water starts off hot and goes cold halfway through and then cold for over 50 seconds. I find it adds to my water bill and waste water and not efficient, Definately will not go with this model ever again after problems with it 3 times in a row in 1 year.
Overall:
I hate it so much i wish i had the old Bosch Pilot system in place as it was more cost efficient, water efficient and hot water lasts longer and doesnt go freezing cold in winter when it should be hot if on maximum heat
