Heat-exchanger specialist Bowman is launching a new ultra-compact unit aimed at smaller swimming pools, spas and hot tubs.

Called the EC80-5113-1, the new model measures just 368mm overall – including end covers – and is designed to handle heat transfer up to 25kW.

Available with titanium, stainless-steel or cupro-nickel tube stacks, the EC80-5113-1 is reckoned to deliver the same performance benefits as larger Bowman heat exchangers, including faster pool heat-up times – typically up to three times faster than most other brands – thus significantly reducing energy costs. 

Additionally, the new unit is fitted with composite end covers, with solvent weld connections and an integral 7mm thermostat pocket, for easy installation directly into the pool pipework. A removable tubestack also simplifies routine maintenance.

Bowman is also launching a newly extended range of titanium tube stacks, which will soon be available across the complete range. These are said by Bowman to resist chemical attack indefinitely, and come with a 10-year anti-corrosion guarantee on all titanium materials in contact with pool water.
