The W10-U 10 litre option is suitable for 2-3 sinks located side-by-side, heat up time is approx. 19 mins*. The W15-U 14 litre unit is better suited to 3-4 side-by-side sinks or a kitchen sink installation.
*Heat up times depend on the inlet water temperature. An external adjustable thermostatic control allows for temperature regulation.
