Introduction
The Sanden Eco Hot water Heat Pump System has been designed using the latest refrigeration technology to remove the heat from the air to heat water.
The refrigerant we use is CO2 which does not contribute to global warming so it allows us to help keep a clean healthy earth for future generations.
We have also considered the power requirement. By using CO2 as the refrigerant we have produced one of the most energy efficient units currently available.
It’s even more efficient when connected to off-peak power1 and the noise level is so low it will operate unobtrusively throughout the night.

How it works
The Sanden Eco Hot water Heat Pump System heats water by transferring the heat from the surrounding air to the water using a refrigerant.
The refrigerant is heated by a heat exchanger that absorbs heat from the surrounding air (Figure 1).
Note: operating conditions may vary depending on the type of off peak tariff that is available in your area. The unit must have a minimum of 5 hours continuous power available at all time to allow the unit to operate without affecting reliability.
Installation details
This Sanden Eco Hot water Heat Pump System must be installed by a licensed person in consideration of the following standards and regulations:
- AS/NZS3500 National plumbing and drainage code hot water supply systems – acceptable solutions
- HB 263-2004 Heated water systems plumbing industry commission
- AS/NZS 3000 Electrical installations (known as the Australian/New Zealand wiring rules)
- Notice to Victorian customers from the Victorian Plumbing Industry Commission. The Victorian Building Act 1993 requires that this Heat Pump Water Heater System must be installed by a licensed person. Only a licensed person will provide a Compliance Certificate, showing that the work complies with all the relevant standards. Only a licensed person will have insurance protecting their workmanship for six years.
- The unit has been specifically designed for domestic hot water heating and is not suitable for any other purpose.
- The unit is designed to operate when connected to the town water supply with a maximum operating pressure of 500 kPa. To ensure the mains pressure does not exceed this, a pressure-limiting device that complies with AS1357 must be connected to the town water supply line.
- This system delivers hot water exceeding 50o C. Reference should be made to AS/NZ3500 and/or local regulations relating to the need for temperature tempering devices.
- The unit must be stored and transported in an upright position. Failure to do so may render the unit faulty. Such failure is not covered under any warranty agreements. Failure to comply with the above conditions will void the warranty.
