Sanden Eco Plus Heat Pump - 315L

The SAN-315VE is ideal for households of 4-6 people due to its large 315-liter capacity. Its energy-efficient heat pump technology can save up to 80% on energy bills compared to traditional electric water heaters. The use of eco-friendly R744 (CO2) refrigerant and a vitreous enamel tank provides both environmental benefits and durability, ensuring a reliable supply of hot water for larger families without high operating costs.

While both tanks offer durability, the SAN-315VE uses a vitreous enamel tank, which is more cost-effective than stainless steel. This material provides strong protection against corrosion and is suitable for homes with varying water quality. Vitreous enamel tanks are also easy to maintain and ideal for homeowners looking for a high-performing yet affordable solution.

The Sanden Eco Plus 315L Heat Pump operates efficiently in temperatures ranging from -10°C to +43°C. It is designed to withstand both cold and hot climates, making it a reliable option in diverse Australian weather conditions. Even in cold temperatures, the system continues to deliver hot water without compromising energy efficiency.

The SAN-315VE reduces energy consumption by using only 20% of the electricity needed for traditional electric storage systems. By utilizing heat pump technology, it absorbs ambient air and transfers the heat to water, leading to substantial energy savings. The system is compatible with off-peak tariffs and solar PV panels, further maximizing savings by utilizing renewable energy sources.

Maintenance for the SAN-315VE is minimal but essential for ensuring longevity. Regular checks of water quality are necessary to maintain the right pH balance (between 6.5 and 8.5) and chloride levels (below 200 mg/litre). This helps prevent corrosion and ensures that the system operates efficiently over its lifetime. Homeowners should also conduct periodic visual inspections for leaks or other signs of wear.

The heat pump unit comes with a 6-year warranty, covering parts and labor. The vitreous enamel tank is backed by a 10-year prorated warranty, which ensures coverage for material and workmanship defects. It’s important to maintain proper water quality as specified by Sanden to keep the warranty valid. Warranty terms may vary slightly by region, so checking the specific terms for your area is recommended.

Yes, the SAN-315VE is fully compatible with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. By using solar energy to power the heat pump, homeowners can reduce their reliance on grid electricity, further lowering energy bills and enhancing the system’s environmental benefits.

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber and electrician. The system is designed with a split configuration, meaning the heat pump and tank are separate units, which provides flexibility in placement. The heat pump can be installed up to 15 meters away from the tank horizontally or 5 meters vertically, allowing for easier integration into different home layouts.

The Sanden Eco Plus 315L Heat Pump heats water up to 50% faster than conventional electric systems. This quick recovery time ensures that even large households will have a steady supply of hot water, especially during peak usage times.

Yes, the SAN-315VE uses R744 (CO2), a refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and minimal global warming potential. Additionally, the system’s high energy efficiency helps reduce carbon emissions, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional water heaters.

The Sanden Eco Plus 315L operates at a whisper-quiet 37dB, making it quieter than many other household appliances like refrigerators or dishwashers. This ensures that the system runs without disturbing the household or neighbors, even when installed outdoors.

Water quality plays a crucial role in the longevity and performance of the SAN-315VE. Chloride levels should be kept below 200 mg/litre, and the pH should be between 6.5 and 8.5. High chloride or improper pH levels can cause corrosion, voiding the warranty and affecting the efficiency of the system.

Yes, the system is designed to operate efficiently with off-peak electricity tariffs, allowing homeowners to further reduce energy costs by taking advantage of lower electricity rates during non-peak hours.
