Installation & Performance Insights

At JR Gas & Water, we’ve installed WWK units behind bedrooms, beside garages, and on narrow concrete paths — and they’re always impressively quiet. One of the biggest wins for our Brisbane and Gold Coast customers is how well this system performs during winter, even in frosty hinterland conditions.

At 130kg+ it’s a heavy unit, so correct site prep is essential. But once in place, it’s set-and-forget — no anode replacements, no surprises, and no noise complaints.

How Does It Compare?

When compared with other top brands like Evoheat or iStore:

• Stiebel Eltron wins on longevity – Many units last 12–15 years

• Fewer breakdowns – Less common issues than with some newer or imported brands

• Quieter operation – 45 dB(A) makes it one of the quietest in its class

• No external controller needed – Simpler operation with solar integration

✅ Pro tip: The WWK220L model is ideal for smaller homes or tight spaces.
