Mini Hydro-Core Fireplace

Water heating Powerhouse & Fireplace

made per order 1-3 weeks turn around time.

8KW Water heating power 12KW firepower this is averaged out over 3 hours so peak power is higher.

Based off our popular mini fireplaces but fully water jacketed all surfaces even the front & baffle, the only thing water doesn’t run through is the door.

This makes it a power house for heating water while keeping the fireplace cool to touch as it doesn’t get hotter then the water circulating (still can get upto 110 degrees c).

Good for heating your space & a spa, bath tubs, hot water cylinders with or without electric back up, but you won’t need electricity at all when the fire’s going and you don’t have to be quick in the shower at all, I even heated a 2500L pool from 24degrees to 36 degrees it just took 6 hours which is impressive for its size, it took 2 hours to heat a 850L spa pool from 22 degrees upto 40 degrees, these times can vary slightly depending on environment temps and what type of wood your burning.

dimensions: 380mm D X 255mm H X 555mm H

weight: 43KGs 

Comes standard with Burn Plate.

Inlet highest point 3/4inch bsp thread, outlet lowest point 3/4inch bsp thread, you can also hose clamp hoses on if using for spas or pools etc and makes for easy moving if needed.

2x 3/4inch bsp thread sacrificial magnesium anodes replace when needed every year or 2. (There cheap and will add years to the life of the fire).

Made from Cor-Ten steel with durable high heat water resistant internal coating to keep from corroding, so if you run the fire dry you will burn the coating off and shorten its life, the fire doesn’t get hotter then the water so the max it can get is 110 degrees c, so it can be close to surfaces without a heat shield etc, the door is the only part that gets hot & doesn’t have water running through it.

The water also will make the fire’s life significantly higher then your average mini due to never getting hot enough to put stress on the steel and break it down over time like with a standard fireplace.

These fires are classed as un tested appliances and therefore are made for places that don't require a permit they are not un tested or un safe, just untested by the official labs (emissions testing) they may still be able to get permitted depending on your councils rules, they are classed as multi fuel heaters so are excluded from the emissions act, but also can be classed as just a wood burner, but as a multi fuel heater they only need to meet building code for permitted installations as per code, but check with your council for there rules as they can differ, but since they are classed as a un tested appliance, they are sold strictly for outdoor use or anywhere a permit isn’t required.
