About the iStore 180L Heat Pump

The iStore 180L Heat Pump uses air-to-energy heat pump technology to draw heat from the surrounding air and transfer that energy into stored water.

Compact Heat Pump for Smaller Households

The iStore 180L is designed for customers who want heat pump efficiency without moving into a larger tank size.

Its compact 180L capacity makes it a practical option for apartments, townhouses, smaller homes and households with moderate daily hot water demand. It can be a strong replacement option where the existing system is a smaller electric storage water heater and the installation location suits a heat pump setup.

Lower Energy Hot Water

The iStore 180L Heat Pump is designed to use heat from the surrounding air to help heat stored water efficiently.

Instead of relying only on direct electric element heating, the heat pump transfers ambient heat energy into the water. This can help reduce electricity use for hot water when the system is correctly selected, installed and used under suitable conditions.

Actual savings can vary depending on the system being replaced, household demand, tariff setup, installation location, climate, timer settings and whether solar PV is used to support daytime operation.

R290 Natural Refrigerant

The iStore 180L uses R290 natural refrigerant, which has a very low global warming potential compared with many older refrigerants.

R290 is commonly used in modern heat pump hot water systems because it supports strong heat transfer performance while helping reduce environmental impact.

Quiet Operation

The iStore 180L is designed for quiet operation, with a listed noise level of up to 46.6 dB at 1m under test conditions.

This makes it a practical option for smaller homes, townhouses and suburban properties where heat pump placement, airflow and sound management matter.

Installation location is still important. Airflow, wall placement, neighbouring rooms, boundary position and hard surfaces can affect how sound is experienced on-site.

Timer Control

The iStore 180L includes timer control to help manage when the system heats water.

This can be useful for homes wanting more control over hot water heating times, including customers who want to align operation with daytime energy use, tariff periods or household routines where the electrical setup and installation conditions allow.

Common Uses

The iStore 180L can be suitable for:

• electric hot water system replacement

• heat pump hot water upgrades

• smaller homes

• apartments

• townhouses

• rental properties

• compact homes

• homes with 2–4 occupants depending on usage

• customers wanting lower energy use than standard electric storage

• customers wanting a compact R290 heat pump

Tempering Valve and Element Information

*Element size information:
All electric hot water units are supplied as standard with a 3.6kW element unless otherwise stated on the product page, invoice, or order confirmation.

If a different element configuration is requested, such as 1.8kW or 2.4kW, the hot water unit may still arrive with the standard 3.6kW element fitted from the manufacturer. The requested 1.8kW or 2.4kW element will be supplied separately with the order for installation by a suitably licensed electrical contractor or licensed electrical licence holder.

Any element changeover, electrical connection, disconnection, wiring, testing, or modification must be carried out by a licensed electrical contractor or licensed electrical licence holder. Elements must not be changed, connected, modified, or tested by an unlicensed person.

Alternative elements supplied for non-standard configurations may be generic replacement elements and may not be the same brand as the hot water unit unless specifically stated. Generic elements are supplied to suit the requested element size and electrical configuration, but final suitability must be checked by the licensed installer before installation.

1.8kW and 2.4kW elements supplied separately with a hot water unit include a 12-month supply-only parts warranty from the date of purchase, provided the element has been correctly installed by a licensed electrical contractor or licensed electrical licence holder and used under normal operating conditions.

This element warranty covers the replacement supply of the element only. It does not include labour, call-out fees, electrical work, plumbing work, fault finding, removal, reinstallation, testing, travel, downtime, damage caused by incorrect installation, or any other associated costs. Warranty may be declined where the element has been incorrectly installed, dry-fired, modified, damaged, connected to incorrect voltage or wiring, affected by power issues, used in unsuitable water conditions, or installed by an unlicensed person.

Proof of purchase, installer details, electrical licence details, photos, and/or return of the faulty element may be required before a warranty claim is approved.

**Tempering valve information:
Where a hot water system is capable of delivering water above 50°C, a compliant tempering valve must be installed to control the temperature delivered to personal hygiene fixtures such as showers, baths, basins, and bathroom outlets. This helps reduce the risk of scalding and assists with meeting plumbing compliance requirements.

A tempering valve blends hot and cold water to deliver a safer controlled outlet temperature to required fixtures. The hot water unit itself may store water at a higher temperature, but the water delivered to personal hygiene outlets must be controlled where required by plumbing regulations.

If your property already has a suitable, compliant tempering valve installed, your licensed plumber can assess whether it is appropriate for use with the new hot water system. Existing valves may not always be suitable due to age, condition, compliance requirements, valve type, location, or system compatibility.

If a compliant tempering valve is not already installed, or if the existing valve is unsuitable, one must be supplied and installed by a licensed plumber as part of the hot water installation.

Tempering valves are not automatically included with every supply-only hot water unit unless specifically selected, listed as included, or purchased as part of a suitable valve kit. If a tempering valve is required, please purchase the appropriate valve kit with your order or arrange for your licensed installer to supply and install the correct tempering valve on site.

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the installation is completed by appropriately licensed trades and that all required valves, fittings, electrical work, plumbing work, and compliance requirements are allowed for as part of the installation.
