The Racold 500L Heat Pump Water Heater is a large-capacity air-source heat pump for hostels, PGs, guest houses, and large households, heating a 500 litre tank naturally to 55°C and electrically to 70°C, with a magnesium anode rod and Titanium Plus coating for hard-water corrosion resistance. It carries a 5-year tank and compressor warranty.
How it saves money at scale. A heat pump draws heat from the surrounding air and transfers it into the water, using electricity only to move heat rather than generate it directly, so it runs at a fraction of the cost of a conventional electric geyser. At 500 litres, serving a building where many people need hot water daily, that running-cost gap compounds into real monthly savings which is the entire case for a heat pump over electric heating in a commercial setting.
How it works day to day. The heat pump naturally heats water to 55°C using air alone. When demand exceeds capacity, the weather is cloudy, or you need hotter water, it automatically switches to electric mode and heats up to 70°C and even then runs more efficiently than a conventional geyser. You set temperature and timing via the intelligent digital controller, and a quick-heating option runs the heat pump and element together for instant hot water during peak demand. It is fully automatic, managing the switch between air and electric heating itself which matters in a commercial setting where nobody is monitoring it.
Built for hard water. The tank uses Racold's Titanium Plus coating for corrosion resistance, backed by a magnesium anode rod that corrodes in place of the tank. On the mineral-heavy water common across much of India, that protection earns the 5-year tank warranty. The tank handles up to 8 bar.
