Hot water, even with teenagers on board
Most boats quickly run out of hot water, especially when teenagers are on board. With the Raritan 1700 Series Water Heater, there’s more than enough for washing, bathing and post-swim rinse downs. Available in three sizes and with or without an engine power heat exchanger, its glass-lined tank and premium insulating layer provide impressive temperature retention.
The rust-proof 1700 Series Water Heater features a durable, rust-proof polymer jacket and replaceable magnesium anode for a long, trouble-free service life. High-density non-CFC foam provides a high R-value to keep water hot to 71° C. Mixed with boat-temperature pressurized water, the available 22.7, 45.4 and 75.7 liter models offer an impressive delivery capacity. When empty, its recovery rate is a fast 49 LPH with the 115V heating element and 68 LPH with the 240V unit.
Every Raritan 1700 Series Marine Water Heater ships with an ignition-protected thermostat that’s adjustable between 43° and 71° C, with a safety shutdown limit of 87°. The temperature and pressure valve is rated at 5.2 bar at 99° C, instead of the typical 10.3 bar, to protect the boat’s plumbing.
The 1700 Series Water Heater is available with Raritan’s innovative heat exchanger system. While the engine is running, its cooling system heats the water with over seven feet of internal coils. Combined with the unit’s heat retention, it makes building up hot water reserves fast and easy.
With plumbing fittings all on one side, installation of a Raritan 1700 Series Water Heater is easy, whether on new construction or retrofitting. Hot and cold water fittings are standard 3/4″ male NPT, and the heat exchanger is 3/4″ female NPT. Designed to fit into tight spaces, the 22.7l model is 368mm dia. x 412mm H and weighs 16.3kg; the 45.4l, 476mm dia. x 412mm H and 28.1kg; and the 75.7l, 476mm dia. x 615mm H and 36.7kg. Every 1700 Series Water Heater is hand-assembled and backed by Raritan’s five-year warranty on the tank and two on the unit.
