One of these is the Stainless Steel Mains Pressure Tanks, which can be used for both commercial and domestic applications. Made in Australia from marine-grade stainless steel, this unit features a durable construction. Thanks to its 560-millimetre diameter, it can be stored in most standard cupboards.
Live Sustainably With A Solar PV System And These WISELIVING Products
August 31, 2022
As part of WISELIVING’S commitment to promoting a sustainable lifestyle for the benefit of the environment and future generations, we have developed Off Grid Systems and home heating appliances that are designed to enhance Off Grid Living.
Through this approach, WISELIVING is able to provide Australian households with energy-efficient and eco-friendly solutions for their heating, hot water, cooking, and other home needs. Below are some of our products that can be used with a solar-based Off Grid Lifestyle.
Hot Water Tanks
WISELIVING manufactures hot water tanks that are capable of utilising different power sources, such as heat pumps, wood, electric, and solar. They can also be customised depending on the needs of users.
Another unit that can be used with a solar power system is the CentraCoil Tank. In addition to solar thermal heat sources, this product is also suitable for wood stoves, gas boilers, and heat pumps.
The Solar Gold Series Copper Tank is another option that homeowners can take advantage of. It comes in various sizes and configurations and can serve as an ideal replacement for gravity-fed water tank systems.
Hot Water Heat Pumps
WISELIVING’s hot water heat pumps are made with the latest technology. They rely on natural refrigerants to provide the hot water and heating needs of homeowners. One of these is the All in One Hot Water Heat Pump, which uses the R290 refrigerant. Compared to other refrigerants, this substance is more eco-friendly and has a zero global warming potential.
Another impressive feature of this unit is its solar compatibility. You’ll be able to maximise the performance of your solar PV system and enjoy lower annual running costs thanks to its 350% energy efficiency rating.
The Reclaim Energy Heat Pump is another model that homeowners can integrate with their solar power system. Made from marine-grade stainless steel, this durable and eco-friendly unit provides homes with a sustainable heating solution thanks to its use of natural CO2 refrigerant. Users can also enjoy more savings from monthly energy bills since the Reclaim Energy Heat Pump is five times more efficient compared to electric hot water tanks.
Solar Hot Water
Complementing WISELIVING’s heating and solar hot water systems, particularly its CentraCoil Hot Water Tank, is its Evacuated Solar Tubes. The cylindrical shape of these tubes enables them to track the sun for longer periods during the day, allowing you to make the most out of the available sunlight in your area.
They are also ideal for Australian conditions due to their built-in frost protection and hail resistance. More importantly, these tubes can retain up to 95% of the collected solar energy with minimal heat loss, which means they can perform optimally even during the cold seasons.

In finding the best hydronic heat pumps for your home , there are now several options to choose from. While all of them are designed to be energy efficient and to supply heating, cooling, and hot water to your home, they are not at all created equally. In this post, we have put together a comparison table between WISELIVING hydronic heat pumps and the competition, looking at the factors that make the best heating or cooling system units. Heat pumps factors to consider Output Capacity: This is the ability of the heating or cooling system to heat or cool a specific space, expressed in kilowatts (kW). With a bigger space, one would need a higher output capacity. In choosing the hydronic heat pump that best suits your home, factors to consider include heat loss, property age, and types of room. Typically, a 100-square-metre house needs 8kW for in-slab or 12kW for radiator heating. As the space of the house increases, so does the required output capacity. Physical Unit Weight: The physical size of the unit can be in height, width, depth, and weight. Along with the output capacity, choosing the correct size of the heat pump will help in keeping your home efficient and sustainable. Energy Efficiency Ratings: The higher the Energy Rating is, the more energy efficient the appliance is. This means utilising a lesser amount of energy to perform the same functions compared with other brands or units, with similar size and capacity. With heat pumps that have a higher Energy Efficiency rating, you are not only reducing your carbon footprint but doing it for less as well. Average Running Decibels: This measures the sound power level of the unit. The lower the decibel is, the less noise the unit produces. The average sound rating of modern outdoor heat pump units is around 60 decibels, which is comparable to a normal conversation between people. On the other hand, WISELIVING’s heat pump has a noise output of only around 47 decibels. Refrigerant: The medium used by heat pumps to absorb, transport, and release heat from the heat source to the heat sink out to your home’s interior and exterior. WISELIVING’s Hydronic Heat Pump uses R32 refrigerant, while the High Temperature Heat Pump uses R290. Both substances are environmentally friendly and have significantly lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) ratings compared to other refrigerants. Manufacturer’s Warranty: A quality guarantee from the manufacturer within a specific duration, which ensures support in case there is something wrong with the unit. R32 Hydronic Heat Pump WISELIVING’s R32 hydronic heat pump uses the combined technology of a DC Inverter, EVI, and the R32 refrigerant, which is one of the most environmentally friendly refrigerants available today. The R32 hydronic heat pump comes in a premium matte black ABS material case that is UV and corrosion-resistant, ideal for the constantly changing weather of Australia.
At what outside temperature can a heat pump still function? This is a common question among households, as we continuously experience extreme-level temperatures.
