Bosch / Ariston S series Mini-Tanks

Ariston Mini-Tanks updated to S series - Flow Factor

The new Ariston GL6S Plus electric mini-tank water heaters have just arrived. This water heater is the direct replacement for the recently obsoleted Ariston GL6+ (GL6PLUS).

The main difference between the older GL6+ and the new GL6+S is that the GL6+ came with a power cord that plugged directly into a 120V wall socket while the new GL6+S does not come with a power cord. The GL6+S must be hardwired at the time of installation.

Globaltowne does carry a 6' cord for the Ariston GL6+S

Here are the features of the new GL6+S: 
  • 6-year warranty on tank
  • Glass-lined tank for longer life
  • Mounts on wall or floor
  • Temperature/pressure relief valve included
  • Must be hard-wired to 120V
  • Dimensions: 17.5" x 17.5" x 14 1/2"
  • Recovery at 90 Deg F Rise: 7 GPH
  • 12.5 AMPS and 1500W Heating Capacity
  • Temperature Range: 65 Deg F to 145 Deg F
  • Meets ASHRAE 90.1 Standard
  • Relief Valve = Installed
  • Power cord not included
The new Ariston GL6+S model has many new improvements since it has been upgraded. The mini tank has a new temperature adjustment knob on the front of the unit to raise and lower the temperature from 65 Deg F to 145 Deg F. On the older model you would have to remove the blue oval cover to access the temperature knob.

The Ariston GL6+S model has a new improved thermostat that features a new sensing probe that is attached to the thermostat and inserts into the cavity of the new element so the heater can adjust temperatures quicker and maintain a more consistent heat.

Designed by the world's leading point-of-use water heater manufacturer, the New Ariston GLS series combines Italian design and state of the art features including glass-lined tanks, a 6-year warranty and highest recovery time. 

Installing an Ariston electric mini-tank water heater under the sink puts hot water right where you need it - at the point of use. Lightweight and compact and also the Ariston mini tank heaters are great for those long hot water runs from your tank heater or tankless heater and will shorten the wait time for hot water.

The New Ariston GL2.5S mini-tank electric water heater stores 2.5 gallons of hot water. 

The New Ariston GL4S mini-tank electric water heater stores 4 gallons of hot water. 


Please note: The New Ariston GL2.5S is not the direct replacement for the Ariston GL2.5 as the Ariston Gl2.5S is 10 3/4" in depth and the older Ariston GL2.5 was 10 1/4" deep.  The new Ariston GL4S is not the direct replacement for the Ariston GL4 as the GL4S is 13 1/2" in depth and the older Gl4 was 12 1/4" deep.  The replacement parts for the new Ariston GL2.5S and the GL4S will not work for the older GL2.5 and GL4 mini tank heaters.

  • 6-year warranty on tank 
  • Glass-lined tank for longer life  
  • Mounts on wall or floor 
  • Temperature/pressure relief valve included  
  • Plugs into standard 120 volt outlet
  • Dimensions: GL2.5S-13 3/4" x 13 3/4" x 10 3/4", GL4S-13 3/4" x 13 3/4" x 13 1/2"
  • Recovery at 90 Deg F Rise: 7 GPH 
  • 12.5 AMPS and 1500W Heating Capacity 
  • Temperature Range: 65 Deg F to 145 Deg F  
  • Meets ASHRAE 90.1 Standard

Bosch Electric Tankless Heaters

Bosch Electric Tankless Heaters

Flow Factor Sells Bosch Electric Tankless Heaters

Tankless Heaters are designed to save on electricity and to allow for unlimited hot water.

However, there are variables that need to be considered when purchasing a Tankless heater.

Electric tankless heaters can require larger size wires and panels than standard tank heaters.  At Flow Factor we will go over in detail what the heaters require so you can have a proper installation.  And with a proper installation, the heater will perform as designed.

Variables that affect the outlet water temperature, are heater KW, flow rate and inlet temperature.  These three variables affect all water heating appliances and the potential output temperatures.  A tankless heater heats the water as it flows through the heater.  Each electric (and gas) heater has a maximum heater capability.  For example, the largest heater, the AE125, is about 27 kilo watts.  The AE 125 can heat a flow rate of 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) 65 degrees.  Meaning it can change the temperature of the water 65 degrees. So if the inlet is 40 degrees the output temperature will be 105.  It cannot produce water hotter than that at that flow rate. If the flow drops to 2.0 gpm than the amount of change increases.  If the flow is more than 2.5, than the amount of change decreases.  At 4.0 gpm, the change is 45 degrees.  A standard USA shower is normally 2.5 gpm.  We can describe all the heaters and their heating capabilities.


Whole House Heaters, showers, wash machines, sinks.
Bosch PowerStar AE125  27 KW Heater, 240 volts, 3x40 amp circuit breakers.

Bosch PowerStar AE115  17 KW Heater, 240 volts, 2x40 amp circuit breakers.
(The AE 115 requires 60+ inlet water temperatures.)

Point of Use Water Heater: Sinks, Dishwashers, low flow shower.
Bosch PowerStar AE12  12 KW Heater, 240 Volts, 1 x 50 amp circuit breaker.  ( RP12 )

Point of Use Water Heaters, Sinks and Dish washers:
Bosch PowerStar AE9.5  9.5 KW Heater, 240 volts, 1 x 40 amp breaker   ( RP9 )

Bosch PowerStar AE7.2  7.2 KW Heater, 240 volts, 1 x 30 amp breaker  ( RP7 )

Bosch PowerStar AE3.4  3.4 KW Heater, 120 volts, 1 x 30 amp breaker  ( RP3 )

The Key to using Tankless Heaters is understanding how they work, how they heater water, their capabilities and their electrical requirements.  With these parameters all being met, the heater will work as advertised and produce the water temperatures needed.
