Ariston Water Heaters For Butlins Minehead Refurbishment
Ariston has supplied to Bourne Leisure approximately 200 Europrisma unvented electric water heaters, which have been installed at Butlins’ Minehead Resort in Somerset over the past three years. The company is anxious to reduce its carbon footprint and is in the process of undertaking an ambitious, rolling refurbishment programme, part of which involves the upgrading of domestic hot water services. With over 2,500 accommodation units at the Minehead Resort, the company anticipates that eventually up to half of these will be changed over to the new system.

A spokesman for the Technical Services team at Butlins Minehead commented, “We have been very satisfied with the performance of the units and with the relationship developed with Ariston staff who have attended site on a number of occasions and advised on installation issues. In addition to providing first class hot water services for our guests, our priority has been to reduce our carbon footprint and we expect the energy savings derived from the installation of Ariston Europrisma water heaters to produce a payback period of around 5 years, including the cost of installation.”

Europrisma water heaters have been installed over the past three seasons, during the quieter winter period, with approximately 100 units fitted last year and 64 this year, installed by Construction Managers Eden Resource Management Ltd (ERM Ltd). Those most recently installed provide hot water to chalet kitchens and wash hand basins in the shower rooms, the showers being served by existing instantaneous electric heaters. Replacing 64 existing 85-litre cylinders, each with its own header tank, the water heaters have a capacity of 15 litres and are housed in the existing service cupboards. Other larger accommodation units incorporating family bathrooms are fitted with 30 litre Europrisma models, installed in previous seasons, and these replace the original 200 litre cylinders.

Europrisma unvented water heaters not only offer a more economical solution than heating and storing vast amounts of hot water but one which supplies hot water at mains pressure and cold drinking water at each outlet. Hot water delivered at mains pressure ensures that filling baths, sinks and wash hand basins is fast and efficient. An unvented system is much simpler to install, usually involving less pipework which can be reflected in both time and installation costs. With no header tank in the loft, an additional benefit of the system is removal of the risk of water stagnation and legionella – of particular importance in hotels and holiday resorts – as well as elimination of frost damage to pipes.

The Europrisma 30 being a 3kW output 30 litre capacity appliance is too large to be positioned under a sink though there are smaller models in the range with an undersink option. The over-sink models are available in a 3kW output and are designed with the pipework on the underside of the unit for ease of installation. The under-sink models are available in 2kW and 3kW outputs. The Europrisma 30 must be installed in compliance with the Building Regulations (G3) for installation of unvented appliances. For models 15 litres and below expansion of heated water can be allowed for within the pipework.

Butlins’ Minehead Resort offers guests an enormous choice of accommodation, including rooms with half board and self catering apartments across three bands: standard, for a well-designed, comfortable living space, mid-range Silver rooms and apartments for contemporary designs and a light, airy feel whilst, for the ultimate in luxury, Butlins Minehead offer De Luxe Suites, Gold Apartments and Blue Skies self catering accommodation. However, irrespective of the level selected, guests can be assured of plentiful supplies of domestic hot water, delivered in an energy efficient manner which minimises the resort’s carbon footprint.
