ABOUT ECOPODS
Reliable Copper Hot Water Storage
The EcoPod range comprises high-quality copper hot water cylinders engineered to suit a wide range of domestic and light commercial applications. Available in three material grades—Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3—the EcoPod range allows specification to be matched precisely to system demands. Grade 3 cylinders are typically selected for standard domestic installations, while Grades 1 and 2 are manufactured from heavier-gauge copper to provide increased strength and durability where higher working pressures or greater heads of water are present.
Designed for long service life, EcoPod Grade 1 and Grade 2 cylinders are particularly suited to installations where enhanced performance and robustness are required. The use of heavier material improves structural integrity under demanding conditions, making these cylinders a dependable choice for more challenging applications. Across the range, EcoPod cylinders offer a reliable, well-proven hot water storage solution built on Copper Industries’ manufacturing expertise.
Consistent, Efficient Hot Water Storage
Within a domestic or light commercial heating system, the EcoPod functions as a dedicated hot water storage cylinder, providing a stable and reliable supply of stored domestic hot water. By maintaining water at temperature within an insulated copper vessel, it ensures consistent availability while minimising standing heat loss. This makes EcoPod well suited to everyday installations where dependable hot water delivery and predictable performance are essential.
Designed to operate effectively with modern heating systems, EcoPod supports efficient heat transfer from boilers, heat pumps, and other low-temperature heat sources via its indirect coil arrangement. The use of appropriate material grades allows cylinders to be specified to suit working pressures and system demands, while compatibility with renewable technologies helps future-proof installations. The result is a robust, well-balanced hot water solution that delivers dependable performance over the long term.
