While Connected to Shore Power

The integrated 750W immersion heating element allows you to heat water whenever mains electricity is available, making it ideal for marina stays and overnight berthing.

Isotemp Slim Square 16 – FAQs


What makes the Isotemp Slim Square 16 different from other marine water heaters?

The Slim Square 16 has been designed specifically for installations where space is limited. Its slim square profile makes it easier to fit into confined areas while still providing 16 litres of hot water, premium stainless steel construction and efficient heating from both the engine cooling system and a 750W immersion heater.

Can the Isotemp Slim Square 16 heat water from the engine?

Yes. The integrated heat-exchange coil uses waste heat from your boat’s engine cooling circuit to warm the stored fresh water while cruising. This improves energy efficiency and provides hot water without relying solely on shore power or onboard electrical systems.


Is the Isotemp Slim Square suitable for year-round boating?

Yes. The water heater has been designed for continuous marine use throughout the boating season. It also incorporates a simple winter drain system, making it easier to protect the unit against freezing temperatures when the boat is laid up during winter.

Why does the supplied mixing valve improve hot water performance?

The Temperature Control Safety Mixing Valve blends hot water from the tank with incoming cold water to produce a safe outlet temperature. This not only reduces the risk of scalding but also increases the effective amount of usable hot water available from the 16-litre tank.
