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 Intelligent Cascading Kit

The Bosch Therm Intelligent Cascading Kit part number 7709003962 connects the Bosch Therm tankless water heaters together in an intelligent cascading setup.  Up to 24 Bosch Therm tankless water heaters can be connected together in intelligent cascading to deliver more GPM for each heater cascaded.

The Bosch Therm Intelligent Cascading Kit is designed to work with the following Bosch tankless water heaters:  C1210ESC, C1210ES, C1050ES, C950ES, 940ES, 940ESO, 830ES.

Please refer to the installation manual for proper installation of the Bosch Therm Intelligent Cascading Kit.

Replacement Heat Exchanger #87054064220 for Bosch Protankless 715ES

The replacement heat exchanger for the Bosch Protankless 715ES has a new part number of 87054064220. This part number has changed from the original part number of 8705406356.  The heat exchanger part number 87054064220 is also the replacement for Bosch Therm 830ES, 940ES, 940ESO and the Bosch Evolution 500.

Replacement Heat Exchanger for Bosch 830ES/940ES/940ESO and Evolution 500

The Bosch 940ES, 940ESO, 830ES and the Bosch Evolution 500 Heat Exchanger Part 8705406422 is the replacement heat exchanger for all Bosch Therm 940ES, 940ESO, 830ES and the Bosch Evolution 500 tankless water heaters.

This part is also the replacement Heat Exchanger for the Bosch Aquastar 2400ES and 2700ES tankless water heaters.

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.

New Bosch Tankless Universal Control Board

Bosch has released a new Universal Control Board (part number 87072073680) for their "World Two" tankless water heaters.

The board comes with three jumpers and instructions as to where to place those jumpers to make the board model-specific.

One jumper specifies if the heater is a 175,000 BTU or a 199,000 BTU appliance, another jumper specifies the gas type - NG or LP, and another jumper specifies if the heater has a surface-mounted outlet temperature sensor or is using a newer immersed sensor that is included on some recent production heaters.

Additionally, the world two universal control board is able to automatically determine if it is being used on a condensing or non-condensing tankless water heater.

This universal control board can be used on the following Bosch tankless water heaters for both natural gas and propane:

• C1050ES, C950ES, 940ES, 940ESO, 830ES
• C800ES, 715ES
• Integra 500, Evolution 500
• AquaStar 2700ES, AquaStar 2400ES

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.
