Water leak

published

I bought my Bosch 26E NG in May 2012 and it has worked well until now when it recently sprung a leak in the copper pipe on the top LHS. A plumber tried lagging the pipe but it is still leaking. He thinks it could be fixed through welding but is concerned at the proximity of the water leak to the electrics. Is this fixable?

Purchased in May 2021 for A$963.63.

Great system

published

Hi. Excellent system. Mist people complain about the performance of this system. I had problems with water not hot enough or cutting out frequently. I called my plumber and he found that the pipe going into the system was too small (15mm). So when i turned on my gas cooktop or ducted gas heating, it would cut out the hot water system. Requires minimum of 20mm to operate correctly. All i can say to those people complaining is, get your plumber to check the pipework going into the hot water system and any other gas appliance you have. You may have same problem as I did.

Terrible! Get a Rinnai instead!

published

Ever since installation a couple of months ago, this unit has not been dependable. Water + gas available but unit does not fire up as it should. I was told it's a software issue... I run a guesthouse and I can't have an unit I can't depend on.
I have insisted to my plumber that I want this unit OUT and a Rinnai IN. My previous unit lasted for 15 years before needing to be replaced!

Bosch Hot Water 26 Continuous Flow unit.

The Bosch 26Lt Continuous Flow unit is a very reliable Hot Water unit which my parents bought one and they are very happy with the unit. I had one in my previous place and I'm going to get one next month. I would recommend the Bosch Hot Water unit 100% they are a very good hot water units.

Absolutely terrible product

published

Only moved into our house in March and we have had nothing but endless problems with hot water cutting in and out and also when swapping the gas bottles. Followed the manufacturers instructions by turning the water and gas off and on numerous times, with no luck. How Bosch ever got these products past quality control is beyond me! I'm off to purchase a Rinaii!

Takes 30 plus seconds to become hot!

published

I'm not sure what the issue is but it takes 30 plus seconds from when the tap is turned on for the water to become hot. is there something simple that can be tried to rectify this? Could this have something to do with installation? This is a new built extension for Kitchen and bathrooms.

4 days after install not hot enough at all

published

Worked fine, installer forgot controller, came back to put controller on, now not hot enough to wash dishes, my shower isnt hot enough, suddenly it is a piece of crap. What a joke, why they dont warn you that if you pay extra for a controller you wont have hot water I dont understand

Never again...

published

Same problem as most people here; Unit gets around 6-7 years old and starts cutting out intermittently and controller is flashing.

Bosch's authorised service agent WHO CHARGES LIKE A WOUNDED BULL come out and basically tell me it's the board and a new one is worth half the price of a new unit (way to go), then charges me $250 for the privilege.

Now I get to buy a whole new unit <6.5 years after brand new install as well as pay the service agent who achieved nothing.

I won't be buying again.

Hot & cold water in showers

published

i have a bosch 26 which performs extremely well, I suggest you remove your water savers that located in your shower heads, they can be removed with a small flat blade screw driver. This is a common problem with all instantaneous hot water heaters as they are all designed to work at certain flow rates

Excellent

published

Excellent Heater, consistent hot water supply, looks compact and sharp. However, this unit will not work in a blackout as opposed to hydros. The unit is also compatible with temperature control panel, however I did not install that. When other people use hot water at the same time, there is fluctuation and drop in pressure however.
