Dexpro is a brand specializing in electric water heating solutions, primarily for commercial and light industrial applications, though their products are also suitable for residential use. Their focus is on providing compact, energy-efficient units for point-of-use hot water.
Their product categories can be broadly described as follows:
1. Delux Digital Inline Instantaneous Water Heaters
This is one of Dexpro's core product lines. These are tankless, on-demand water heaters designed to be installed inline with a water supply. They heat water as it flows, eliminating the need for a storage tank and reducing standby heat loss.
- Power Outputs: Available in various power ratings, such as 3.5kW, 5.5kW, 7.5kW, and 9.5kW, allowing for selection based on the specific hot water demand.
- Key Features:
- Compact and Stylish Design: Slimline units designed to be discreetly installed under sinks or in small spaces.
- Digital Control: Feature a digital temperature display and touch controls for accurate and easy temperature setting.
- Energy Efficiency: As instantaneous heaters, they only consume energy when hot water is being drawn. They often have an A-rated energy efficiency.
- Application: Ideal for hand washing in commercial settings like offices, shops, factories, and schools. Higher-powered models can also be used for multiple basins or even a single shower in some cases.
- Installation: Can be installed in any orientation and are supplied with pre-wired cables. They are recommended for use with spray head taps to optimize performance.
2. Delux Unvented & Vented Storage Water Heaters
Dexpro also offers a range of small storage-type water heaters with insulated tanks. These heaters maintain a pre-heated volume of water for immediate use and are suitable for applications where a slightly larger volume of hot water is needed consistently at a single point.
- Vented vs. Unvented:
- Vented: These units are typically installed over or under a sink and come with a specific vented tap. They operate at low pressure.
- Unvented: These heaters can be connected directly to the mains water supply and operate under mains pressure. They often require additional accessories like an expansion vessel and pressure-reducing valve.
- Capacities: Available in various tank sizes, such as 5, 6, 10, and 15 litres, each suited for different applications (e.g., a single basin vs. multiple basins).
- Key Features:
- Rapid Heat-Up: Equipped with a 2kW element for fast heating.
- Durable Construction: Tanks often feature a blue diamond enamel coating for rust and corrosion resistance and dense CFC-free insulation to maintain water temperature for extended periods.
- Safety: Includes features like a manual re-set thermal cut-out and frost protection settings.
- Digital Display: Many models have a digital display for temperature control.
