Apricus 315L Gas Boosted 30 Evacuated Tubes Solar Hot Water System

 

The Apricus solar collector is a highly efficient thermal solar system, suitable for both domestic and commercial heating. The innovative technology of the Apricus solar collectors are efficient by evacuated tubes, combined with heat pipes & glass wool insulation, environmentally friendly, maintenance free, reliable, frost protected and now very affordable.

 

In areas where natural gas or LPG bottle gas is not available the Apricus electrically boosted solar system is an extremely efficient choice. The solar collector heats the water in the Everlast tank. If the water requires some additional heating the electric booster heats the water to the required temperature. The electric booster element only heats water when required (or when manually switched on), therefore saving you money through reduced electricity consumption.

Apricus is reliable and maintenance free
Once installed an Apricus evacuated tube solar collector system should last as long as the roof it's on. And it's frost protected - the water manifold is wrapped in 50mm of Glass-Wool and there is no water in the tubes to freeze. There is no need for complicated anti-freeze heat exchange systems.
Once we've installed your system you should never need to touch it again. The round shape of the tubes means that wind and rain will actually keep the unit clean and functioning optimally.

 

Apricus is environmentally friendly
Apricus evacuated tube solar collectors not only stop you being so reliant on electricity and gas, they also look after the environment by being primarily constructed of recyclable materials. Even the packaging is recycled cardboard.

 

The savings Apricus brings
On average 40% of a Australian household's energy cost is for water heating. An Apricus evacuated tube solar collector system can more than halve that cost.An Apricus system can be retrofitted to your existing home, or included in the plans of your new dream house. If you were to add the extra capital required to add a solar hot water system in your new house, the additional amount of interest payment would easily be covered by the savings in energy costs.
And whether it's a new home or an existing home, you can rest assured your new Apricus will always look as good as it performs.

 

Eternity Gas Boost

 

Your new Eternity series not only has an energy efficiency rating in excess of five stars, it only uses purchased energy when required, as it only heats the water when you need it. This adds up to substantial savings when compared to those old money guzzling storage systems that require a pilot light. No more money going up in flames. With the Eternity touch pad option, you control the water temperature and subsequently control your savings and reduce your gas bill.
