Bosch External Water Filter

The Bosch external water filter part number 8703305356 replaces the existing smaller internal water filter screen inside certain Bosch tankless water heaters.  The external water filter allows for easy access to clean the inlet screen periodically.  Without the external water filter it is very difficult to get at the inlet screen inside the heater.  The Bosch external water filter is designed to be used for Bosch models 250SX/2400E/2400ES/2700ES.  The Bosch Integra 500/Evolution 500/2400ES/2700ES came with the external water filter.
The Bosch external water filter was also good for the older model Bosch heaters such as the older 635ES/635ESO/830ES/940ES/940ESO/C800ES/Therm C950ES/Therm C1050ES and C1210ES/C1210ESC

All of the newer model Bosch tankless water heaters 830ES/940ES/Greentherm C950ES/Greentherm C1050ES/ C1210ES/C1210ESC have the built in inlet filter screen.  See image below as it shows the inlet filter screen where the cold water connection is.

Replacing Older Bosch Tankless with The Bosch Therm 830ES

The Bosch Therm 830ES Non-Condensing tankless water heater is a top performance, gas tankless water heater from Bosch. This 175,000 BTU heater is designed for residential applications and can deliver hot water up to 140 degrees F with a 8.3 GPM flow rate at a 35 degree rise.  Not approved for space heating applications.
This Energy Star approved tankless water heater can produce enough hot water for 2 major applications in most homes.

The Bosch Therm 830ES heater features an electronic ignition system and can vent through either 3 inch or 4 inch diameter stainless steel vent pipe either through the side wall or up through the roof. A stainless steel concentric side-wall venting option (ESHCK-Full-Kit) is also available.

The Bosch 830ES heater comes with built-in Freeze Protection but it does not come with the 3/4" PRV and the External Water Filter.  The freeze prevention kit is designed to provide protection for the water heater down to approximately 5°F for short term conditions only. It will not protect the appliance in areas where the temperature is routinely expected to be below freezing.  The freeze prevention kit will not protect plumbing outside the appliance from freezing.


The Bosch Therm 830ES is a wholesale model heater and sold to licensed plumbers and contractors.  The new Bosch Therm 830ES is a close replacement for older models such as the Bosch 250SX/250SXO, 635ES/635ESO and the 2400E.  Please be aware the 830ES is 7" taller, 2.375" wider and 2.75" deeper than the previous models. The Bosch 830ES is a direct replacement for the Bosch 2400ES.  For outdoor installations the Bosch 830ES would require the BTOK Outdoor Kit.

The Bosch Therm 830ES comes with a limited 15 year warranty on the heat exchanger and 5 years on all other parts.  Service and labor costs are not covered.

Bosch AquaStar 2700ES vs. Bosch Evolution 500 Tankless Water Heaters

The Bosch AquaStar 2700ES is Bosch's top-of-the-line 199,000 BTU retail tankless water heater. As a retail tankless water heater the Bosch 2700 ES can be sold directly to home owners and is the perfect water heater for Do-it-yourselfers (DIY).

The Bosch 2700ES is available in both natural gas (Bosch 2700ES-NG) and liquid propane (Bosch 2700ES-LP). The 2700 ES direct vent tankless water heater requires special 3" or 4" stainless steel vent pipe and can be vented either through the roof or out the side wall. In approved areas the 2700ES can also be mounted outdoors as it comes with freeze protection that is good down to 5 degrees F above zero and provides protection against occasional overnight freezes.

In addition to coming with built-in freeze protection, the AquaStar 2700ES also comes with a pressure relief valve (PRV) and an external water filter.

The Bosch Evolution 500 is identical to the Bosch AquaStar 2700ES. It also comes in natural gas (Bosch Evolution 500 NG) and liquified petroleum (Bosch Evolution 500 LP) models. As a heater in Bosch's professional line of tankless water heaters, however, the Bosch Evolution 500 can only be sold to licensed installers or builders. As a Bosch Professional heater the Evolution 500 comes with a 15 year warranty on the heat exchanger and 5 years on all other parts.

Like the 2700ES, the Evolution 500 direct vent tankless water heater also comes with built-in freeze protection, a PRV and an external water filter. It requires the same Z-Flex Z-Vent 3" or 4" special stainless steel vent pipe.

So, if you intend to have your tankless water heater installed professionally, have your installer visit www.prowaterheatersupply.com and check out the Evolution 500. These heaters are specially priced while supplies last.
