Gas Conversion for Bosch Retail Gas Tankless Water Heaters

Some of the Bosch Retail gas tankless water heaters can be converted from one gas type to the next, i.e. from Natural Gas (NG) - Liquid Propane (LPG) and also from LPG - NG. The Gas Conversion Kit, part #8719002176 includes a jumper for placement on the control board, a set of instructions for calibrating the gas and air mix and also some stickers to be placed on the heater stating it has been converted.

The tools required for the gas conversion are: 

• Flat and Phillips Screwdrivers
• #40 torx driver
• Digital CO2 Gas Combustion Analyzer
• This procedure must be performed by a licensed gas technician

The Bosch Retail Gas tankless water heaters that CAN be converted using the gas conversion kit are the 2700ES/2400ES/2400E/2400EO/250SX/250SXO.

The Bosch Retail Gas tankless water heaters that CANNOT be converted are the 1600H/1600P/1000P and all of the 125 series heaters as they are not designed or approved at all for gas conversion.

NEW Ariston GL2.5S & GL4S Mini Tank Heaters

Designed by the world's leading point-of-use water heater manufacturer, the New Ariston GLS series combines Italian design and state of the art features including glass-lined tanks, a 6-year warranty and highest recovery time.

Installing an Ariston electric mini-tank water heater under the sink puts hot water right where you need it - at the point of use. Lightweight and compact and also the Ariston mini tank heaters are great for those long hot water runs from your tank heater or tankless heater and will shorten the wait time for hot water.

The New Ariston GL2.5S mini-tank electric water heater stores 2.5 gallons of hot water.

The New Ariston GL4S mini-tank electric water heater stores 4 gallons of hot water.


Please note: The New Ariston GL2.5S is not the direct replacement for the Ariston GL2.5 as the Ariston Gl2.5S is 10 3/4" in depth and the older Ariston GL2.5 was 10 1/4" deep.  The new Ariston GL4S is not the direct replacement for the Ariston GL4 as the GL4S is 13 1/2" in depth and the older Gl4 was 12 1/4" deep.  The replacement parts for the new Ariston GL2.5S and the GL4S will not work for the older GL2.5 and GL4 mini tank heaters.


 

• 6-year warranty on tank 
• Glass-lined tank for longer life  
• Mounts on wall or floor 
• Temperature/pressure relief valve included  
• Plugs into standard 120 volt outlet

The new Ariston GL2.5S & GL4S models have many new improvements since they have been upgraded.  The mini tanks have a new temperature adjustment knob on the front of the unit to raise and lower the temperature from 65 Deg F to 145 Deg F.  On the older models you would have to remove the blue oval cover to access the temperature control knob.

The Ariston GL2.5S & GL4S models have a new improved thermostat that features a new sensing probe that is attached to the thermostat and inserts into the cavity of the new element so the heater can adjust temperatures quicker and maintain a more consistent heat.

The new Ariston GL6+S can either be hard wired to an independent breaker or wired to a power cord with 3 pronged plug.  Globaltowne has a 6' power cord in stock for the GL6+S.

Bosch Retail Water Heater Program Changes

Bosch Thermotechnology has stopped manufacturing and distributing its retail line of Gas and Propane Bosch tankless water heaters. It appears that Bosch has decided to step back from the do-it-yourself (DIY) model of selling this wonderful brand of gas and liquid propane tankless water heaters directly to homeowners.

As a Bosch Authorized Distributor, GlobalTowne still has a supply of these heaters. So, if you are a homeowner looking for a gas or propane Bosch Tankless Water Heater that you can purchase and install on your own, act quickly as these retail tankless water heaters are going fast!

Just to be clear, the Bosch retail line of PowerStar electric whole-house and point-of-use tankless water heaters and Ariston mini-tank electric water heaters are still being manufactured and distributed. In fact, Bosch is in the process of rolling out newly-improved electric water heaters!

Now for the really good news: Bosch's commitment to their wholesale line of Gas and Propane Bosch Therm tankless water heaters has never been stronger!

The entire retail lineup of Gas and Propane Bosch tankless water heaters are available on the wholesale side of the business. But, even more importantly, the Bosch Pro gas and propane wholesale lineup includes super high efficiency Condensing Tankless Water Heaters that were never available through the retail channel.

Global ProTankless Supply sells the entire wholesale lineup of gas and propane tankless water heaters from prowaterheatersupply.com. The products listed on this web site are available only to licensed installers, contractors, builders and other professionals.

As a part of these program changes, Bosch has retired its retail tankless water heater web site at boschhotwater.com. This retired web site now points to their wholesale web site at bosch-climate.us.

For more information on the Bosch wholesale lineup of gas and propane tankless water heaters for professionals, please call 866.289.4652. If you are a homeowner looking for one of these high-end professional hot water heaters, please have your contractor call.

Bosch Compress ~ Hybrid Water Heater

Globaltowne Announces the Arrival of the Bosch Compress Hybrid Water Heater

Bosch Compress Heat Pump ~ HP-200-1
ZERO Emissions – Clean electric operation and no venting requirements
SIMPLE installation
10-Year limited warranty


The 50 gallon capacity Bosch Compress Hybrid
Electric Water Heater is ultra efficient and shares
technology similar to an Energy Star® qualified
Refrigerator. Rather than taking heat from inside the
appliance and moving it outside as a refrigerator
does; Bosch hybrid technology takes heat from
outside the appliance and uses it to heat the water!
Using a specially designed heat pump system, the
heat is transferred from the surrounding air to the
water stored in a well insulated storage tank,
resulting in efficient hot water and zero direct
greenhouse gas emissions!


Why Bosch?
For 125 years, Bosch has remained committed to quality, innovation and value within a broad range of products including automotive parts, power tools, home appliances and water heaters. Bosch is highly recommended by professional contractors and is a brand that loyal customers refer to their friends and family.


Heating domestic hot water is a home’s third largest use of
energy. With the technology used in a Bosch Hybrid Water
Heater, this can be reduced significantly, saving valuable
resources and money.
Compared to a traditional tank water heater, the Bosch Hybrid
Water Heater is twice as effective with savings of $307 (59%
reduction on your water heating costs), making it the smart
choice for your water heating needs with an estimated payback
of just 3 years!


Installation
The ideal installation for a Bosch Hybrid Water Heater is in a warm
unconditioned climate such as an attic, basement or garage with at
least 7' x 10' x 10' cubic feet of air space. The efficiency of the Heat
Pump is higher in warmer climates, however you can experience
savings in all climates. This unit directly replaces a 50 gallon water
heater and the energy factor of 2.2 ensures savings.

The Bosch Hybrid Water Heater also cools and dehumidifies
unconditioned air as an extra benefit, saving money and energy on
air conditioning. Installing in unconditioned spaces with air
temperatures between 45°F - 115°F will yield the highest
efficiencies for the Bosch Hybrid Water Heater. With use of the
ducted air option, the Bosch Compress uses the energy of the
unconditioned air to supply cooler, dehumidified air into the air
duct, reducing the overall energy load of your home.

Recirculation Pumps~ Armstrong

Globaltowne sells Armstrong Recirc Pumps

Recirculation Pumps can be used to provide instant hot water at a faucet or from radiant floors using water or a glycol type liquid for floor warming.

Armstrong is a leader in pump technology and these pumps are made in New York and Canada in the Buffalo / Niagara area.

Used with a tankless heater, the recirculation pump circulates water from a small tank heater within a loop to each faucet. The pump can have a timer

and a temperature sensor so the loop stays warm but the mini tank water heater is not on all the time. When a faucet is turned on, the tankless heater sees the flow and turns on and the heated water flows through a check valve and to the open faucet.

Armstrong has an all in one system called the ASTRO EXPRESS. The Astro Express System works like a thermostat.The snap-acting valve opens and closes to circulate hot water so it stays at a specific temperature throughout the distribution system. Hot water at each tap stays hot, and cold water stays cold.

A timer automatically ensures that the water is recirculated regularly; and can be set for multiple activation periods per day. It can be set to circulate water only during normal usage hours (i.e. not in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep). The timer includes manual on/off overrides to normal automatic operation.

Each system comes with one valve, which is installed at the faucet furthest away from the water heater. This ensures that hot water is delivered to all the faucets in between. A home that has a distribution line with a number of branches, will need a valve for the faucet at the end of each branch. Additional valves are available separately

THE ASTRO 20 BU-T CIRCULATOR

The Astro 20 BU-T circulator is a small pump with twice the capacity of other circulators. It can handle more flow to more destinations (up to 5 valves) for the kind of “branch plumbing” that can make hot water distribution in a large or ranch-style home such a challenge.

Most dedicated return systems are oversized and have a short duty cycle when the aquastat is activated. Our injection system uses lower flow to maintain a more stable water temperature at the hot water faucet and prevent noise and erosion. Plus, larger openings ensure easier flow, so several people can turn on taps throughout the house and they will all get hot water instantly.

FEATURES

• 24-hour clock timer
• 15 minute user selectable intervals
• On/Off/Auto switch_ 120Vac, 1/25 HP, .5A
• 5 ft power cord_ Max head: 5.8 ft
• Max flow: 11.5 GPM_ Brass full unions
• EPDM O-rings
• 1 male and 2 female ¾” tailpieces
• Wet rotor design ensures virtually silent operation
• Bronze housing for potable water use
• High starting torque overcomes mineral build-up
• Built for durability with bronze casing, stainless steel shaft and graphite bearings

STRONGER

The Astro Express is a clear winner for quality, durability and strength. With a rugged, forged-brass valve and a powerful circulator with the capacity of anything else on the market.

FASTER

No dedicated lines make for a quick installation, and quality parts and an adjustable flow rate mean zero maintenance.Our one-size-fits-all solution ensures you’ll always have the right model on your truck. Install it in as little as 30 minutes flat.

BETTER

Offer your customers something more than just a standard recirculation system.

Give them something better: the Astro Express System is the highest-quality, most dependable system on the market. The pump can handle the widest range of homes, from a small bungalow to a sprawling ranch-style house. The system is powerful enough to ensure that several faucets can be in use at the same time throughout the house, without any impact on temperature or speed of hot water delivery

Flow & Temperature Adjustment for Bosch 1000P

The new Bosch 1000P that comes in either natural gas or liquid propane has a control knob for adjusting the flow and a slide adjustment for adjusting the heat on the front of the heater.

The Bosch AquaStar 1000P is a 75,000 BTU Gas Tankless Water Heater. The control knob on the right is the Temperature Adjustment knob and is for adjusting the flow of water through the heater which has the ability to speed the flow of water up making it cooler or slowing it down and making it hotter. The slide control in the middle is for adjusting the temperature of of the water by adjusting the height of the flame. When the slide is positioned on the small flame symbol the burners will be low and when the slide is on the high flame symbol the burners will get higher and the temperature hotter.

Below is how turning the Temperature Adjustment knob effects the heater:

Knob Position		Clockwise		Counter-clockwise
Degree Rise		90° F		45° F
Activation Rate		0.5 GPM		1.1 GPM
Max Flow Rate		1.3 GPM		2.6 GPM

As the temperature adjustment knob is turned counter-clockwise, the output temperature will lower and the activation rate of the heater will be raised. Turning the knob clockwise will raise the temperature and lower the activation rate.

When sliding the slide adjustment to the left small flame will give lower flame and cooler temperatures and sliding the slide to the right will give hotter tenmperatures and a higher flame.

The Bosch 1000P has a gas control slide that modulates burner input in response to flow. Its purpose is to ensure that the hot water temperature will remain steady, although the water flow demand might vary.

Flow & Temperature Adjustment for Bosch 1600P

The new Bosch 1600P that comes in either natural gas or liquid propane has a control knob for adjusting the flow and a slide adjustment for adjusting the heat on the front of the heater.

The Bosch AquaStar 1600P is a 117,000 BTU Gas Tankless Water Heater. The control knob on the right is the Temperature Adjustment knob and is for adjusting the flow of water through the heater which has the ability to speed the flow of water up making it cooler or slowing it down and making it hotter. The slide control in the middle is for adjusting the temperature of of the water by adjusting the height of the flame. When the slide is positioned on the small flame symbol the burners will be low and when the slide is on the high flame symbol the burners will get higher and the temperature hotter.

Below is how turning the Temperature Adjustment knob effects the heater:

Knob Position		Clockwise		Counter-clockwise
Degree Rise		90° F		45° F
Activation Rate		0.5 GPM		1.1 GPM
Max Flow Rate		2.0 GPM		3 .7 GPM

As the temperature adjustment knob is turned counter-clockwise, the output temperature will lower and the activation rate of the heater will be raised. Turning the knob clockwise will raise the temperature and lower the activation rate.

When sliding the slide adjustment to the left small flame will give lower flame and cooler temperatures and sliding the slide to the right will give hotter tenmperatures and a higher flame.

The Bosch 1600P has a gas control slide that modulates burner input in response to flow. Its purpose is to ensure that the hot water temperature will remain steady, although the water flow demand might vary.

Use of Power & Temperature Control knobs for 1600H

The new Bosch 1600H that comes in either natural gas or liquid propane has 2 new control knobs for adjusting temperature and flow on the front of the heater as the older 125 series heaters only had 1 control knob to adjust flow.

The Bosch AquaStar 1600H has 2 control knobs on the front of the heater. The control knob on the left is the Power control knob and allows you to set the height of the burners for hotter temperatures or cooler temperatures. The control knob on the right is the Temperature Adjustment knob and is for adjusting the flow of water through the heater which has the ability to speed the flow of water up making it cooler or slowing it down and making it hotter.

Below is how turning the Temperature Adjustment knob effects the heater:

Knob Position		Clockwise		Counter-clockwise
Degree Rise		90° F		45° F
Activation Rate		0.5 GPM		1.1 GPM
Max Flow Rate		2.0 GPM		3 .7 GPM

As the temperature adjustment knob is turned counter-clockwise, the output temperature will lower and the activation rate of the heater will be raised. Turning the knob clockwise will raise the temperature and lower the activation rate.

When turning the left Power Control knob to the left will give more power and higher water temperatures. Turning the knob clockwise will give less power and cooler water temperatures.

The Bosch 1600H has a gas control that modulates burner input in response to flow. Its purpose is to ensure that the hot water temperature will remain steady, although the water flow demand might vary.

Bosch Aquastar 125B Water Valve Assembly

The Bosch Aquastar 125B gas tankless water heater was first manufactured back in the late 1980s. The 125B series has since been discontinued and replaced with newer compact models such as the 1600P gas tankless water heater, and later the Bosch Therm 520PN.

When the Bosch Aquastar 125B model first came out, it had a dual port brass water valve and then years later the Bosch Aquastar 125B series heater had a new single port polymer water valve which was much easier to service and maintain.

The replacement water valve for the 125B series heater that had a dual port brass water valve assembly is now a single port polymer watervalve retrofit kit. This water valve assembly retrofit kit is required for any heater with a serial number beginning with 380 or lower. This kit includes new cold and hot water pipes, washers and the single port polymer water valve so that it can be easily installed in the place of the old brass water valve. The new water valve retrofit kit for the 125B part number #8707002499 is available. Please visit the link.  There is also a service bulletin available for installation of the new retrofit water valve and the bulletin number is TWH-G1-37 and you can find this on the Bosch website at www.bosch-climate.us

The newer Bosch Aquastar model 125B gas tankless water heaters that had a serial number beginning with 381 or higher had the single port poly water valve. The new single port Polymer water valve for the 125B part number #8707002649 is available. Please visit the link.

Gas Tankless in Bedrooms/Bathrooms

All of the Bosch gas tankless water heaters that are naturally drafting such as the 1000P, 1600P and the 1600H take thier combustion air that is needed to fire the heater from the location they are installed in. These heaters can never be installed in a bedroom or bathroom where the door is normally kept closed. This is against the National Fuel Gas Code and is very dangerous as the heater would deplete all of the oxygen in the room and will cause serious illness or death.

Per the National Fuel Gas Code manual, the only exception to having a naturally drafting gas tankless water heater installed in a bedroom or bathroom is if it is installed in a closet that has self closing hinges and that is sealed when it closes as to not take its combustion air from the bedroom or bathroom. The gas tankless water heater in the closet would then have to be able to get its combustion air from another source such as from the main part of the home, the attic area or from the outside. The amount of combustion air required for the gas tankless heater would be determined per the installation manual and vents to other sources of fresh air would have to be sized accordingly.

Direct vent gas tankless water heaters such as the Bosch 2400ES/2700ES are sealed combustion units and have the ability to take the intake air from the outside. These direct vent heaters are the only ones approved to be installed in a bedroom or bathroom. These heaters have a twin pipe system for the exhaust/intake air to the outside. If these heaters are to be installed in a bedroom or bathroom then the intake air for the heater must come from the outside.

For certain Energy Star tankless water heaters purchased and put in service from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 the Federal Tax Credit is 10% up to a maximum of $300. This tax credit includes the cost of the parts as well as the installation costs for your new tankless water heater.

In order to qualify for this federal tax credit, your tankless water heater must have an Energy Factor of at least .82 or a Thermal Efficiency of of 90%.
