Ariston EP10 UR 3 KW (Europrisma)

[j0mpst0rt]

Morning,

I've had a ariston europrisma installed temporarily while I renovate the house. I have a proble with it.

It starts off giving hot water when I put the water on. However, after about 30 seconds it stops giving water and the orange light comes on. If I leave it for a few minutes the orange light goes off again and I can put the hot water back on again.

What is happening and can I fix it ?

Your taking too much hot water from it. 3kw on full flow is only about 2-4 litres a minute. What are you feeding from this, as it's only a point of use heater ( one very slow tap)

Orange light means its re heating... A heater like this is designed to feed a wash hand basin etc... So don't expect constant hot water from it!!

 

[buckley plumb]

As above sounds like you are drawing to much water

 

[gassafe]

Phone the plumber back & tell him you were hoping for longer power showers

To empty a europrism in 30 seconds you'd need a flow rate of 20 litres a minute

put flow restrictors at fixtures.

Needs replacing as its faulty

Nope and why you think that

Probably the same TFW who said street elbows couldnt be used on gas on another thread.

+1 next the muppet will say you can't use copper pipe on gas only push fit as it has two layers of protection

when i get back up there tomorrow, i'll measure the flow but 20 litres a minute, i think i can drink faster than that.

i'll put up all 6 of them for sale on ebay.
