The KOSPEL 5 L NPW (model 10.5NENPW) is a compact electric above-sink water heater designed to deliver instant hot water to a single point such as a washbasin or kitchen sink. With a 5-litre tank and an electric heating element, this unit mounts directly above the sink to provide a small, dedicated supply of hot water where a larger system is unnecessary. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for tight spaces, temporary installations, or as a supplemental heater for occasional hand washing and light kitchen tasks.

Advantages

Installation is straightforward: the unit is intended for mounting above a basin, minimizing plumbing alterations. The electric heating element provides reliable, on-demand heating without the need for complex fuel connections. Its compact design and modest power requirements make it practical for small apartments, cottages, or utility rooms where intermittent hot water is needed.

How to use

Install the water heater above the sink on a suitable wall following local electrical and plumbing codes. Connect the cold water supply to the inlet and route the hot outlet to the tap or spout above the basin. Ensure the electrical connection is made by a qualified electrician and that the unit is properly grounded. Fill the tank and switch on the unit; allow time for the heating element to bring the water to the desired temperature before use. For intermittent use, operate the heater as needed and switch off when hot water is not required for extended periods.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, periodically check fittings and connections for leaks, and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. In areas with hard water, consider regular descaling to preserve heating efficiency and extend the service life of the tank and heating element.
