Crompton Launches 5.9L Instant Water Heaters
Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd. announced the launch of a new range of 5.9‑litre instant water heaters, marketed under the names Arno Neo and Aqua DLX. The product line is built around a powerful 3 kW heating element that delivers approximately 40 % faster heating compared with conventional models, reducing the waiting time for hot water.
Key technical features include:
- Anti‑Scale Technology designed for hard‑water conditions up to 1000 ppm, protecting the heating element from mineral deposits.
- Four‑Level Safety System comprising an auto‑thermostat, thermal cut‑out, pressure safety valve and fire‑safety mechanism, together with a pressure rating of 6.5 bar, making the units suitable for high‑rise buildings with elevated water pressure.
- Food‑Grade Stainless‑Steel Tank that ensures durability and long‑lasting performance.
- Compact Wall‑Mount Design with a pristine‑finish outer body and LED indicators that blend with contemporary household interiors.
- Enhanced Capacity of 5.9 L, offering roughly 18 % more hot‑water volume than previous offerings.
Warranty provisions are robust: a five‑year warranty on the tank, a two‑year warranty on the heating element, and a two‑year warranty on the overall product.
Speaking on the launch, Sachin Phartiyal, Business Head – Home Electricals at Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd., said that consumers are seeking water‑heating solutions that combine convenience, safety and performance.
