GHWEOPPI003 Opal Specifications, Features & Compatibility Guide

The 3 kWkW Copper heating element provides the thermal wattage required to heat the tank within acceptable timeframes while maintaining element longevity under repeated thermal cycling. A stainless steel tank eliminates the need for sacrificial anode rods altogether. Stainless steel's natural oxide layer self-repairs under normal operating conditions, meaning tank integrity is maintained without periodic maintenance interventions. Safety architecture in the GHWEOPPI003 Opal is built around 4 independent protection mechanisms: Dry-Heat Protection, Pressure Relief Valve, Thermal Cut-Out, Over-Temperature Cut-Out. This layered approach ensures no single point of failure can lead to a hazardous outcome, which is critical for unattended residential operation. The Mechanical thermostat controls the heating cycle within a 25-75 °C°C range, maintaining consistent output temperatures through daily usage patterns. With a 0.5-8 bar pressure rating, the tank and valve assembly are stress-tested to handle the peak pump pressures in modern multi-storey residential buildings, where line pressure routinely exceeds the tolerance of standard geysers.
