ThermoTank water heat pump
The 200 litre ThermoTank hot water heat pump system from Magneto only consumes 750 watts of electricty and was specifically designed so that it can be used in conjunction with your solar PV installation.
The ThermoTank is a thermal low pressure integrated heat exchange system which is designed to reduce electricity consumption by harnessing ambient heat in the atmosphere and transferring this heat to the water stored in the insulated water tank.
The low pressure insulated water tank acts as a hot water battery that stores water at 60° Celsius. This water remains in the tank to heat water that is passed through the system.
The high pressure water supplied by the water mains, enters the hot water tank through a heating coil placed inside the stored hot water and this is where the heat exchange takes place. By the time the water exits the heating coil it is up to temperature.
The heat pump monitors the temperature of the water inside the water storage tank and regulates it to maintain the pre-determined temperature.
- Only uses 750W of power.
- Has a 2 kW backup element in case the water temperature needs boosting
- No lime scale build-up.
- Non-pressurised tank – no more burst geysers!
- High-pressure heat exchange coils allow for conventional water pressure to the house.
- WI-FI enabled to allow remote operation.
- Plug and Play type installation, no need for vacuum breakers or TP valves.
- 200lt ThermoTank
- Installation
- 5 meters of cabling and copper piping (extra meters and labour to be quoted on site)
- 3-year warranty on electronics inland installation, and 10 years on tank
- 1-year warranty on electronics coastal installation within 10km from sea
- 10-year warranty on tank
The Magneto Thermo tank has to be installed on a perfectly level surface area for normal operation.
Magneto does provide the following add-on products:
- Adjustable powder coated steel plinth to provide a stable platform for the tank to stand on, where this may be required
- Deflector ducting for inlet and exhaust ports, where this might be needed
NOTE: A site inpection is conducted and if the above is required, this will be added to the quote.

Maintenance
The ThermoTank has a rating of 54 decibels which is relatively quiet. To provide some context:
- 30 dB: Whispering at a distance of 1.5 meters
- 40 dB: Quiet library or a quiet rural area at night
- 50 dB: Quiet office environment or a conversation at home
- 60 dB: Normal conversation or background music in a restaurant
- 70 dB: Vacuum cleaner at a distance of 3 meters
Magneto offers a 3-year warranty, and all spares and components are locally available at its factory.
The company has technical support teams in every province. After the warranty period, support is still available, but the cost of spares and labour will be at your own expense.
