The Racold Omega Max 8 200 LPD FPC Solar Water Heater is a flat plate collector system with a stainless steel SS-316 inner tank, rated to 8 bar for pressurized homes and sized for a family of 4 to 5. It runs two collectors into a 200 litre tank, handles water hardness up to 600 ppm, and carries a 5-year tank and 7-year panel warranty.
The stainless steel tank is what sets this apart. Where most flat plate water heaters use a galvanised iron tank, the Omega Max 8 uses SS-316 stainless steel at 2 mm the corrosion-resistant grade used in marine and chemical environments. Combined with a sacrificial anode rod that corrodes in place of the tank, it is built to last on the mineral-heavy water common across much of India, which is what earns its 5-year tank and 7-year panel warranty. If tank durability is what you care about at this capacity, the material grade here is a genuine step up from a standard GI tank.
Pressurized for booster-pump homes. Rated to 8 bar, this is a pressurized system for homes running a booster pump. It delivers hot water at the same pressure as the rest of your plumbing, so your shower stays strong when you switch from cold to hot. If your terrace has a booster pump, this is the configuration you need a gravity-fed heater would underperform or fail in a pressurized home.
Flat plate technology. Two flat plate collectors absorb sunlight across their full surface and heat water directly into the tank. Flat plate is the proven, low-maintenance technology, reliable in strong direct sun, with the honest trade-off that it warms more slowly than an evacuated tube system on cold mornings and heavy overcast.
One honest point. The 600 ppm hardness ceiling applies even with the SS-316 tank. If your borewell water runs harder than that, an evacuated tube glass-lined unit rated to 2000 ppm will serve you better. Tell our team your water and we will confirm this suits it.
Before you order: your terrace needs at least 9 feet by 7 feet of clear, unshaded space, and two flat plate collectors take a real footprint. Confirm you genuinely have a booster pump if your system runs on gravity from an overhead tank, the non-pressurized version is the correct and cheaper choice. An electrical backup coil is available separately for cloudy stretches.
The price includes transportation to your house, lifting to the terrace, and installation. You arrange the plumbing connection.
