Replacement Calorifier - Bavaria 30

[WF36]

Does anyone know if this calorifier is suitable for a Bavaria 30?

My current one, after 7 years seems to have gone t1ts up.

Only thing that concens me, is that currently I have these "quick release" sort of connectors that go onto the blue water pipes and don't look compatible with the one I have posted a link to, well not without modification!

Here is a picture of my current one...

Thanks,

Will

That's terribly small - 10l. I should think the one on my friend's Bav 30 is 30 litres or more.
The original although not badged as such is I believe a Quick see http://www.marinesuperstore.com/item/HEATERS/quick-nautic-calorifiers
Penguin Engineering have similar ones.
The original Whale red and blue pipes will fit standard 15mm plastic plumbing connectors. I found that out when his red hot pipe burst. I don't trust that stuff, the proper domestic pipe such as Hep2O or Speedfit is much better. I joined a section in.

Thanks for prompt reply, my current one seems the same dimensions as that 10L one!

Where abouts is your friends Bav 30 calorifier located? Under rear cabin bunking I guess? Mine is...

I will look into getting some decent piping then, but firstly need to work exactly which calorifier I need!

Have a look at surecal/surejust

Yes, think you will find it is at least 25l. 10l is not worth having. I think all the Bav ones are the same size and installed in a similar location in an aft cabin.

 

[WF36]

Ah yes, I see the higher capacity ones are wider... but shorter

Any other Bavaria owners got any thoughts?

Mine was supplied from new so was either a factory or dealer fit. It's a Quick. I think it's either 20 or 25 litres. I had a problem with a leak in one of the fittings, which turned out to be rated to 65 deg but the water seems to be about 95. Replaced it with Hep and no more problems to date.

Where were you when I was trying to find out who made the calorifier on my Bavaria 47

Can confirm it is probably made by Quick, in Italy; there will be a label on it somewhere.

What is wrong with the existing one?

I've just replaced an old Quick with a surecal by Surejust http://www.surejust.co.uk/index2.html made on the Isle of Wight and fantastic advice on the phone, cheaper than a Quick and your choice of pipe fittings, call them.

I didn't see you ask. I told you where you could get an element and 'stat though.

I know, just kidding. I wonder if that is all the OP needs.

 

[WF36]

I know, just kidding. I wonder if that is all the OP needs.

I think the element is broken and also some of the weld joins are on their last legs, even after being re-welded, I am fed up of drips & leaks so want to do the job properly

I'd also say 10L is a bit small. I've got an old Bav36 fitted with a Quick - get the biggest that will fit, it also adds to your total water storage capacity and nothing is worse than wasting all the hot water on washing up and then having a cold shower.

 

[WF36]

The surecal ones are about 10cm higher than my old one, and will no way fit.

The 10L is the only one that fits, size wise... help!

my previous one was 20L, just filled it up and emptied it into a bucket!
