Australia’s Aus J water heading solutions is introducing its new Duoetto MK2 12v/240v 10-litre water heater to the local and global RV, marine and work vehicle markets.

This latest model – available to individuals and OEMs through sales@ausj.com.au - builds on the local and international success of the first model in enabling people to enjoy civilised home comforts wherever they are on the road or on the water.

Aussie innovator and Aus J director ( www.ausj.com.au ), Mr Jay King says the tough, Australian-designed compact and durable water heater offers selectable temperatures between 30-75 deg C (86-158F) on 240v so people can shower, wash, clean and enjoy abundant hot water whether mains power is available or not.

The latest versions feature a digital temperature control on the side of the heater, which is now being exported to markets including the Middle East and Asia, North America, Africa and Europe, including the UK.

“Automatic sensors allow switching to 12V when mains power is not available, enabling the Duoetto to deliver ample hot water in remote areas such as campsites or on boats where mains power is unavailable, which is often is in large areas of major RV, marine and work vehicle markets” says Mr King.

The MK2 has a number of upgrades on the previous version, designed to give the new water heater even greater quality, durability and longevity than the original, which has become OEM equipment on major campers in Australia and in export markets including South Africa and the US because of its functionality and reliability in service over a wide range of use and climatic conditions. Upgrades include:

• An Incoloy 840 heating element, which gives superior corrosion resistance and is designed for optimum use in extreme environments and temperatures.

• A single weld line tank for a sturdier construction, reduced water leakage and extended product life.

• Polyurethane insulation to maintain temperatures and reduce energy consumption. This is an environmentally harmonious CFC-free material.

• SPCC steel and enamel tank for improved corrosion resistance

• Digital temperature control for ease of control and readability, fully adjustable from 30-70 deg C

“We’re excited to launch the latest Duoetto MK2, which is especially suited to caravans, equestrian transport, campervans, yachts, motorhomes and a huge range of recreational vehicles. When you’re on the road or out on the water, readily available hot water is a real luxury,” said Mr King.

The Duoetto MK2 comes with internationally recognised Australian WaterMark accreditation, which means that it passed tests and requirements regarding its suitability for supplying water for human consumption. These tests encompass taste, smell, toxins and corrosive effects on plumbing and pipework.

Drawing a miniscule 4.2 amps at 240V (1000w) and 25 amps at 12v (300w), the 409 x 262 x 267mm Duoetto MK2 retains the strengths of its predecessor, including:

• Manufactured to Australian Standard AS/NZS 3350.1.1:2002 and with WaterMark certification to Australian Standard AS/NZS 3498:2009

• Adjustable thermostat on 240V up to 75 ^o

• Durable outer case with service and inspection points

• The water heater connects to 12V DC power supply meaning there is no need for a generator, inverter or 240V power supply.

• Integrated magnesium sacrificial anode protects against galvanic corrosion and extends the life of the water heater.

• Thermal cutout

• Over-heat protection

• Combination brass pressure relief valve

• Warranty 12 months
