Preliminary Planning Information

Aquafire Pro water vapor fireplace inserts have been designed to be extremely easy to install, simple to operate, and easy to maintain. When designing your fireplace, feel free to send your plans in for review and
suggestions by our professional design staff.

Considerations:

• Accessibility to electricity and 1/4’’ water line, similar to ice maker in fridge.
• Recessed into wall, sitting proud of a wall or completely free-standing?
• If light cast upwards to ceiling is undesirable, consider recessing into the wall for a traditional hearth appearance. (we advise to create a ‘light trap’. see Light Trap page for details)
• Determine decorative materials and finishes you expect to use. Since there is no heat, there are virtually no limitations.
• Plan to make it easy to remove fireplace insert should maintenance or repairs become necessary.
• Avoid or prevent air currents from doors, windows, and existing HVAC system which affect flame quality.

Installation:
Prepare the housing for your fireplace insert(s) and make sure the cutout has sharp corners (not rounded) and dimensions are exactly as specified. These dimensions are critical because the modules are suspended on flanges that span the opening. Too small, and fireplace will not fit, too large of opening, and fireplace insert will look sloppy or may even fall through the opening. Using the built in ‘lifting loops’, suspend the Aquafire Pro into the cutout after plugging in electric power converter(s) and connecting the 1/4’’ waterline if direct plumbed. If not direct plumbed, fill tank using tap water via the integrated pumping system once installed into cutout.
That’s it!– the installation is complete. Now start your fireplace and enjoy an extraordinary fireplace experience every day of the year!

Fireplace Specs and Cutout Dimensions

Installing Aquafire Insert

Aquafire inserts are designed to drop in to an enclosure and hang from the lid’s flanges, allowing for easy install and adequate airflow underneath the unit.

Cutout Dimensions

Note: Cutout dimensions are critical! Fireplace inserts are suspended in cutout opening from the attached flanges so be sure to measure carefully!

Air Flow Best Practices

Air vents
Air vents are situated atop the insert to enable airflow when the device is placed within an enclosure. Should there be a preference for a decorative top or media obstructing these vents, the enclosure design needs to facilitate adequate airflow through the sides or bottom.

Maintenance and Cleaning Guidelines

Hard Water Guidelines

For best results, descale your fireplace every three months or more frequently if you live in an area with hard water.
3.5 to 8.5 Grains Per Gallon, Ideal is 7.0 (moderately hard)

• Hard may produce scaling, shorten transducer life, and require more frequent cleaning.
• If water hardness needs to be adjusted, consult local water conditioning professional.
• Water that is too soft will have reduced flame effect.

Reverse Osmosis is not recommended, it removes all minerals and vapor flame effect will be greatly diminished.
