iStore 270L Heat Pump

The iStore 270L Air to Energy Hot Water Heat Pump offers an energy-efficient hot water solution engineered specifically for Australian family homes. Designed to serve medium to large households of 3 to 6+ people, this system utilizes advanced air-to-energy technology to extract heat from the surrounding air and transfer it into the 270-litre storage tank, reducing hot water energy consumption by up to 70% compared to traditional electric water heaters.

Featuring eco-friendly R290 natural refrigerant, the iStore 270L operates at high thermal efficiency with a Coefficient of Performance (COP) of up to 4.8. The system acts as a thermal battery by integrating seamlessly with existing residential solar PV systems, storing excess rooftop solar generation as hot water to minimize grid power usage. Constructed with dual protective anodes and an external wrap-around heating coil, it ensures long-term corrosion resistance and low-maintenance operation under Australian climate conditions. Integrated timer controls, quiet operating sound levels, and smart Wi-Fi connectivity provide straightforward management and remote monitoring via smartphone.

Key Features

• High-Efficiency Heat Pump Technology: Converts thermal energy from ambient air into hot water, drastically cutting household power consumption and electricity expenses.

• Solar PV Integration: Works alongside rooftop solar power systems to store excess generation during peak sunshine hours as thermal energy.

• R290 Eco-Friendly Refrigerant: Utilises modern, ultra-low global warming potential (GWP) natural refrigerant for improved thermal conductivity and lower environmental impact.

• Smart Wi-Fi Connectivity & Control: Allows real-time operational monitoring, temperature adjustments, and customized timer scheduling via a dedicated mobile app.

• Ultra-Quiet Operation: Operates at low noise levels (46.6 dB at 1 metre) to ensure minimal sound intrusion in surrounding outdoor residential areas.

• Built-in Back-up Heating Element: Features an integrated auxiliary electric heating element to guarantee hot water availability during extreme cold snaps.

• Legionella Prevention Cycle: Automatic scheduled heating routines prevent bacterial growth inside the storage tank to maintain safe water quality.
