Frequently Asked Questions

What size pump is recommended for the Gas Hot Water Unit?

We suggest a flow rate of 6-12 liters per minute for optimal performance. Exceeding this range may reduce the unit's efficiency and its ability to heat the water effectively. Additionally, please ensure that the pressure does not exceed 1 MPa (145 PSI). 

The supplied gas hose with my Gas Hot Water Unit doesn't fit my gas bottle?

In 2021, Australian gas regulations were updated, altering the required connection type from the old POL (Type 21) to the LCC27 fitting. All KickAss Gas Hot Water Units are sold with the mandated LCC27 female fitting on the gas hose. What is the difference between the fittings:

If you have a gas cylinder with the old style POL fitting, you can continue to use the cylinder until it reaches its current 10-year testing date. However, in order to use the KickAss Gas Hot Water Unit, you must purchase or swap your current gas bottle with a replacement that has a LCC27 fitting.
