The Andris Lux ECO range is the latest set of small heaters from Ariston. Ariston are already the largest supplier to the UK market of electric waters heaters of 30 litres or less, and there is no doubt this new set of appliances will further increase their dominance.
The standard Andris Lux range is already very popular because of its compact size, ease of installation, and low running costs, but the ECO range brings a new set of advantages over the competition.
1. Durability
The tank's warranty period has been extended from 3 to 4 years. This reflects the confidence in the titanium-enamelled tank and copper element for enhanced corrosion protection and longevity. Ariston manages the warranty, conveniently providing all warranty details here, including steps to address any issues with these components.
2. Economy
The new range costs more than the old range (surprise!). The good news is it features 'ECO EVO' system. This learns daily heater usage and uses predictive algorithms for timely water heating. After installation, it takes a week to learn your patterns, making accurate predictions. It keeps learning and enhancing accuracy afterward.
As a result, it prepares the precise amount of hot water at the optimal temperature and timing. This efficiency translates to approximately 15% energy cost savings compared to other heaters lacking this feature. While there might be a slight upfront cost increase, the investment pays off manifold over the heater's lifespan. Although it is set to ‘on’ by default, it is possible to deactivate this feature if you do not like it. Like the previous range, it of course retains its A-Class energy rating.
3. Safety
The Andris Lux Eco also has what it calls a ‘thermal disinfection cycle”, which is a smart safeguard against the possible development of legionella bacteria. By default, this feature is deactivated, but enabling it during installation (or afterwards) is a straightforward process.
4. Usability
With the upgraded 2.5kW element, the Eco has excellent reheat times – just 30 minutes to heat from 15 to 60 degrees for the 30-litre model. If limescale is a concern in your area, rest assured that it actively identifies significant limescale buildup. It then switches to a reduced functionality mode, safeguarding itself from damage until you perform the necessary descaling.
So all in all, the Andris Lux ECO is quite a remarkable, and versatile electric water heater, which is a very significant step forward from the standard Andris Lux range.
