Australia and New Zealand
families for nearly 50 years,
and forms part of the
worldwide Thermotechnology
division of Robert Bosch.
With global sales of 1.4
million water heaters every
year, Bosch provide hot
water solutions for every
water heating need.
Bosch pioneered continuous
flow water heating in the late
1800’s, and this tradition of
innovation and invention still
drives our company today.
Extensive research and
development ensures that
Bosch remains at the forefront
of water heating technology.
With an extensive product
range, Bosch strives to deliver
products designed to fit the
lifestyle of today’s modern
families.
Product Overview
HydroPower Ignition is exclusive to Bosch.
HydroPower uses the energy created by water flow to ignite the burner and begin the heating process.
The unit only starts when a hot water tap is opened. Once hot water is no longer needed, the unit turns
itself off.
1. Water enters the Hydro
Dynamic Generator
2. The turbine spins with water
flow
3. A spark is generated by the
turbine
4. The spark ignites the main
burner
5. The water continues on to the
heat exchanger and is heated
External HydroPower
External HydroPower models are perfect for a
constant, reliable supply of hot water. The
HydroPower ignition provides endless hot
water at the flick of a tap, without the need of
power point.
Versatile
• LPG models are particularly popular in
country areas, where reticulated gas is not
available and there is no external power
point.
• They are able to operate in relatively low
water pressure areas and in low
temperature regions of Australia and New
Zealand using Bosch accessories.
Economical
• Only heating water when required by the
user, the Bosch range is extremely
economical to run.
Internal HydroPower
Limited space need not mean limited hot
water. The Bosch range of internal hot water
heaters are created specifically to go places
where storage units will not, and will provide
endless hot water.
Versatile
• Operable without a power point
• Compact design
• Flexible connections
• Caters for a wide range of applications and
needs
Economical
• Only heating water when required by the
user, the Bosch range is extremely
economical to run.
