Clage MCX 4 (1500-15004)

Elite flow heater from Germany

Clage MCX 4 is an instantaneous water heater that stands out among other models with its electronic control system. On the top of the case there is a button and three LEDs. The button can be pressed to change the desired hot water temperature: 35°C, 38°C or 45°C. Multi-colored LEDs (green, yellow and red) provide a quick visual identification of the selected mode. Water heating is carried out using a powerful heating coil, which has a power of 4400 watts. The heating element automatically turns on when the tap is opened, when the flow rate reaches 1.5 l/min, and turns off when the tap is closed or when the flow rate drops below 1.3 l/min. This provides protection against overheating and efficient use of energy. Clage MCX 4 offers convenient and easy operation, allowing you to select the desired water temperature with the push of a button, and also provides reliable protection against overheating, guaranteeing safe use.

Clage Heater Installation Procedure

The Clage MCX 4 water heater is designed to service a single tap, such as a sink in a bathroom or bidet. Due to its compact dimensions (135x186x87 mm), the device fits easily and does not attract much attention. It requires connection to a dedicated electrical line for its operation (in the case of the Clage MCX 3 model with a power of 3500 W, it can be connected directly to the outlet). In the maximum power mode, the water heater consumes a current of 19 A, so the circuit breaker in the electrical panel must be rated for this current, and the power cable must have a cross section of at least 2.5 mm2. The delivery set includes a flexible hose for connection to the water supply. However, it is worth considering that the nozzle and hose are 3/8″. If your home or office uses 1/2″ threaded pipes, you will need to find a suitable adapter in the correct size. The water heater also comes with an aerator nozzle that can be installed on the faucet to reduce the flow of water to a value at which the heating coil has time to effectively heat the water. This allows you to use resources more efficiently and achieve a comfortable water temperature at a lower flow rate.

Not cheap but worth it

All Clage water heaters, since the year the company was founded in 1951, are manufactured in one and only factory, which is located in Lüneburg, Germany. European assembly has its impact on the cost of equipment, and it usually costs twice as much as similar devices made in China. However, unlike the latter, Clage instantaneous water heaters have an impeccable reputation, which allows us to hope for their long service life.
