Bosch Tankless Water Heaters Used for Solar Thermal Applications


Certain models of the Bosch tankless water heaters are approved and designed for using Solar Thermal. Solar Thermal applications should be set up in conjunction with an indirect tank to maintain a more consistent temperature but the heater can be used for direct solar preheated water.  The maximum temperature for the solar preheated water into the Bosch tankless water heater is 140 degrees F.  The Bosch tankless water heaters that are approved for Solar preheated water are listed below:

Bosch Therm 830ES
Bosch Therm 940ES
Bosch Greentherm C950ES
Bosch Greentherm C1050ES
Bosch Therm C1210ES
Bosch Therm C1210ESC

Bosch Therm External Water Filter

The Bosch External Water Filter (8703305356) replaces the internal water filter that comes with the heater. Having the water filter external means it is located under the Bosch Therm tankless water heater and is therefore easy to access and clean out. Odds are that if you do not install the external water filter then the internal water filter will not get regularly cleaned out as you would have to open the cover and remove the control board to get to the internal water filter, which is not very convenient.  It is recommended to clean the filter screen at least once a year for periodic maintenance.



The Bosch Therm External Water Filter is designed to work with the following Bosch Therm Tankless Water Heaters: C 1210 ESC, GWH C 920 ESC, C 1210 ES, GWH C 920 ES, C 1050 ES, GWH C 800 ES, C 950 ES, 940ES, 940ESO, GWH 715 ES, and 830ES.

This accessory is not included with these heaters and is highly recommended.

The Bosch External Water Filter is included with the Bosch Integra 500 and Bosch Evolution 500 water heaters.

The Bosch External Water Filter is NOT compatible with the new Bosch Greentherm C950ES and Greentherm C1050ES tankless water heaters.

Replacement filter screens part 8700507059 are available for the Bosch External water filter.  Please call us at 866-289-4652

Bosch Wireless Remote Control TSTAT2

The Bosch Wireless Remote Control TSTAT2 for the Bosch Therm and Protankless models 635ES / 635ESO / 715ES / C800ES / C920ES / C920ESC / C830ES / C940ES / C940ESO / C950ES /    C1050ES / C 1210ES / C 1210ESC / Integra 500 / Evolution 500 allows you to program your Bosch tankless gas water heater to a comfortable and safe temperature from around your home from a distance of up to 98 ft.



The TSTAT2 remote is particularly useful if you own a jacuzzi or hot tub that requires a hotter water temperature than you normally desire for regular shower use.

Please note that the electrical control board of the older Bosch 635ES / 635ESO heaters must be removed and opened in order to install the wireless receiver circuit board to enable the use of the TSTAT2 Wireless Remote Control.

The Newer Bosch models, 715ES / C800ES / C920ES / C920ESC / C830ES / C940ES / C940ESO / C950ES / C1050ES / C 1210ES / C 1210ESC / Integra 500 / Evolution 500 tankless water heaters have been redesigned to make the installation of the wireless receiver circuit board much easier. The circuit board is basically a plug and play unit.

The TSTAT2 controls the temperature of your water heater and does not have a reset button.   If the heater has an error then a code will be on the display of the heater and the user has to go to the heater to reset it from there and should document the error and then see if it returns after resetting.

The TSTAT2 Wireless Remote Control for Bosch 635ES / 635ESO / 715ES / C800ES / C920ES / C920ESC / C830ES / C940ES / C940ESO / C950ES / C1050ES / C 1210ES / C 1210ESC / Integra 500 / Evolution 500 features the following:

  • LCD displays temperature, error codes and functions
  • Temperature measured in °C or °F
  • Low battery level indicator
  • 98 feet user range
  • Alkaline AA LR6 2x1.5V battery power 915 MHz
  • Security lock function
  • IP X6 Protection
  • Priority function - temperature cannot be modified by other user interface when water is running
Don't forget to periodically change the two AA batteries in your Bosch wireless TSTAT2 thermostat as they will certainly corrode over time. The batteries in TSTAT2 thermostats that are kept in bathrooms will corrode faster than in other less humid environments, such as kitchens. Your batteries should be checked yearly for any signs of corrosion and replaced every five years in any case.

Bosch Protankless C800ES Condensing unit

The Bosch Protankless C800ES Condensing tankless water heater is a top performance, fully condensing gas tankless water heater from Bosch. This 199,000 BTU heater is designed for residential applications and can deliver hot water up to 140 degrees F with a 10.5 GPM flow rate.  Not approved for space heating applications.
This Energy Star approved tankless water heater can produce enough hot water for 2-3 major applications in most homes.

Unlike traditional non-condensing models, condensing technology captures heat from the exhaust gas and uses it to preheat the incoming cold water. This increases efficiency and reduces emissions -- well ahead of the 2012 Low NOX emissions standards set by SCAQMD (California -- South Coast Air Quality Management District).

The Bosch C800ES features an electronic ignition system and can vent through either 3 inch or 4 inch diameter PVC vent pipe either through the side wall or up through the roof.  A 3" PVC concentric vent kit is available for venting vertical or horizontal and allows the unit to be vented and also have its intake air from the outside through one hole.

The Bosch C800ES does not come with the built-in Freeze Protection kit but it is available as an accessory.  The C800ES also does not come with an external water filter screen but is also available as an accessory.  The Bosch C800ES does come with a standard 3/4" PRV.  The Bosch Therm C 1050 ES tankless water heater is about the same as the C800ES except that it comes with the freeze protection kit.    The Bosch Integra 500 is also about the same as the C800ES and the C1050ES and it comes with the freeze protection, 3/4" PRV and the external water filter screen.  All three tankless heaters are 199,000 BTUs and have the same temperture rise. 

The freeze prevention kit is designed to provide protection for the water heater down to approximately 5°F for short term conditions only. It will not protect the appliance in areas where the temperature is routinely expected to be below freezing.  The freeze prevention kit will not protect plumbing outside the appliance from freezing.

The Bosch C800ES comes with a limited 15 year warranty on the heat exchanger and 5 years on all other parts.  Service and labor costs are not covered.

Gas Conversion of Pro Gas Tankless Water Heaters

Some of the Bosch Professional gas tankless water heaters can be converted from one gas type to the next, i.e. from Natural Gas (NG) - Liquid Propane (LPG) and also from LPG - NG.  The Gas Conversion Kit, part #8719002176 includes a jumper for placement on the control board, a set of instructions for calibrating the gas and air mix and also some stickers to be placed on the heater stating it has been converted. 

The tools required for the gas conversion are:
  • Flat and Phillips Screwdrivers
  • #40 torx driver
  • Digital CO2 Gas Combustion Analyzer
  • This procedure must be performed by a licensed gas technician
The Bosch Professional Non-condensing heaters such as the 940ES/940ESO/830ES/715ES/635ES and the Evolution 500 CAN be converted using the gas conversion kit.

All of the Bosch Therm condensing heaters such as the C1210ESC/C1210ES/C1050ES/C950ES/C800ES and Integra 500 CANNOT be converted as the units have a special plate built into the burner tray.  This extra plate in the burner tray was designed and instlled to give the heater the ability to be installed at higher elevations up to 8000'.

Also the Bosch Therm 660EF/660EFO/520PN/520HN/425HN/425EF/330PN CANNOT be converted as they are not designed at all for gas conversion.

Bosch Therm Tankless Product Number Changes

Recently Bosch has changed their naming strategy for the Bosch Therm line up of Tankless Water Heaters. Previously, the Bosch part numbers reflected the flow rate at a 45 degree F temperature rise; now the part numbers reflect the flow rate at a 35 degree F temperature rise.

So, for example, the legacy Bosch Pro 920ES is now the Bosch Therm  C 1210ES. This means that this heater can produce 9.2 GPM of hot water at a 45 degree F rise and 12.1 GPM at a 35 degree F rise.

This naming change was done, so it seems, to align Bosch with an emerging industry de facto standard of showing the flow rate at a 35 degree F temperature rise. In reality, showing the flow rate at a 45 degree F temperature rise made more sense as a 45 degree F temperature rise is more realistic average across the US. However, with other manufacturers advertising their heaters 35 degree F flow rate, it appeared that their tankless water heaters had a higher flow rate (which was of course not true).

So, now Bosch's published flow rates allow for easier comparisons to those of other manufacturer's heaters.

Bosch did make some upgrades to the new models, so actually the newer heaters have more capabilities than their older legacy heaters. More about those details in later blog entries...

Here is a brief listing of the name changes:

  • Old: Bosch Pro 920ES  |  New: Bosch Therm C 1210ES
  • Old: Bosch Pro 920ESC  |  New: Bosch Therm C 1210ESC
  • Old: Bosch Pro 800ES  |  New: Bosch Therm C 1050ES
  • Old: Bosch Pro 715ES  |  New: Bosch Therm 940ES & Bosch Therm 940ESO
  • Old: Bosch Pro 425HN  |  New: Bosch Therm 520HN
  • Old: Bosch Pro 425PN  |  New: Bosch Therm 520PN
  • Old: Bosch Pro 260PN  |  New: Bosch Therm 330PN
The part numbers for the Bosch Electric whole-house and point-of-use tankless water heaters did not change, nor did the Ariston Pro Ti names change.
