Stiebel Eltron WWK 222 220L Heat Pump Hot Water System

The Stiebel Eltron WWK 222 220L Heat Pump Hot Water System is available from Installed Today as a supply-only heat pump hot water unit or as a complete supply and install package in selected Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas, where available.

Choose the unit only if you already have a licensed plumber and electrician arranged, or check your supply and install package before checkout to confirm installation suitability, access, airflow clearances, drainage, water pressure, electrical requirements, valve kit requirements and available installation timeframes.

This page is for the WWK 222 standard model, not the WWK 222H. The WWK 222 is a 220L heat pump hot water system designed for efficient domestic hot water using surrounding air. It features active defrost, quiet encased compressor operation, a maintenance-free impressed current anode, solar PV compatibility and indoor or outdoor installation flexibility where suitable.

About the Stiebel Eltron WWK 222 220L

The Stiebel Eltron WWK 222 uses heat pump technology to draw heat from the surrounding air and transfer it into stored hot water. This makes it a practical upgrade option for customers wanting a more energy-efficient alternative to a standard electric storage hot water system.

The 220L capacity may suit smaller to medium households, depending on hot water usage, shower flow rates, recovery expectations, tariff setup, climate and installation conditions.

The WWK 222 is the non-H model, which means it does not include the 1.7 kW smart element found in the WWK 222H. It is designed to generate hot water through heat pump operation and includes active defrost to support operation in cooler conditions.

Heat Pump Storage Hot Water

The Stiebel Eltron WWK 222 stores hot water in a 220L cylinder and uses heat pump technology to heat the water efficiently.

Instead of relying on a standard electric element as the main heating method, the WWK 222 uses the energy in surrounding air to generate hot water. This makes it a strong option for homes wanting to upgrade from a conventional electric storage hot water system where the site is suitable.

Standard WWK 222, Not WWK 222H

This product page is for the WWK 222 standard model, not the WWK 222H.

The WWK 222H includes a 1.7 kW smart element to assist recovery during high hot water usage. The WWK 222 does not include that smart element, making it the correct choice where the standard non-H model is required.

Customers with higher hot water recovery needs may need to compare the WWK 222 against the WWK 222H or a larger model before ordering.

Efficient Heat Pump Hot Water

The WWK 222 has a listed seasonal COP of 3.94. COP is a performance measure that compares heat output to electrical input under test conditions.

Real-world performance depends on ambient temperature, hot water usage, installation location, airflow, settings, tariff setup and household demand.

Active Defrost Function

The Stiebel Eltron WWK 222 includes active defrost to support heat pump operation in colder conditions.

When frost is detected at the evaporator, the active defrost function helps remove frost build-up so the system can return to normal hot water generation. This helps the unit operate down to -5°C without needing the H-model smart element.

Maintenance-Free Impressed Current Anode

The WWK 222 uses a maintenance-free impressed current anode, making it suitable for hard or soft water areas.

Unlike sacrificial anodes that are designed to wear away over time, an impressed current anode is designed to provide corrosion protection without regular anode replacement under normal conditions.

Enamelled Steel Cylinder

The WWK 222 uses an enamelled steel cylinder. The cylinder is designed for domestic hot water storage and works with the impressed current anode for long service life.

Water quality, pressure control, correct installation and ongoing maintenance all play a role in long-term system performance.

Solar PV Compatibility

The Stiebel Eltron WWK 222 is compatible with solar PV integration where configured correctly.

A solar PV signal can allow the unit to increase tank temperature during peak solar production, helping make better use of self-generated power where the home has a suitable solar setup.

Solar PV integration depends on the electrical setup, inverter capability, system configuration and installer requirements.

Off-Peak Operation Option

The WWK 222 can operate on off-peak power where available.

This may suit homes wanting to manage hot water running times around tariff windows, solar production or household usage patterns. Actual running costs depend on energy rates, settings, hot water demand and installation conditions.

Low Power Consumption

The WWK 222 has a listed heat pump power consumption of 0.55 kW and a current draw noted by Stiebel Eltron as 2.3 A on 240 V.

Electrical work must still be completed to Australian standards, and site suitability should be checked before installation.

Indoor or Outdoor Installation

The Stiebel Eltron WWK 222 can be installed indoors or outdoors where suitable.

Indoor installation requires a clear space of 13m³ so the cold air from the refrigeration system can diffuse. Outdoor installation requires 500 mm clearance either side of the grille, along with suitable drainage, access, base support and weather exposure conditions.

Quiet Encased Compressor

The WWK 222 is designed with an encased compressor to help reduce operating noise.

It has a listed average sound pressure level of 45 dB(A) at 1 m. Noise impact still depends on the installation location, surrounding walls, nearby bedrooms, fences, reflective surfaces and local site conditions.

Water Pressure and PLV Requirements

The WWK 222 has a maximum permissible operating pressure of 850 kPa.

Water pressure must be checked before installation. A pressure limiting valve may be required depending on the property’s incoming water pressure, the selected valve kit and the installation requirements.

High water pressure, missing valves or non-compliant existing pipework can affect installation scope and final cost.

Drainage and Condensate Requirements

Heat pumps produce condensate during normal operation. The installation location must allow suitable condensate drainage in addition to standard hot water system safety valve discharge requirements.

Drainage changes are not included unless selected or arranged as part of the installation package.

Clearance Requirements

Correct airflow is important for heat pump performance. The WWK 222 needs suitable installation clearance so the unit can draw and discharge air properly.

Poor airflow, tight enclosures, blocked grilles or unsuitable indoor spaces can reduce performance and may make the installation unsuitable.

STCs and Government Incentives

Heat pump hot water systems may be eligible for STCs or government incentives depending on the product, installation date, location and program rules.

Eligibility, rebate value and availability can change. Any incentive should be checked before purchase and should not be treated as guaranteed unless confirmed as part of the checkout or installation process.

WWK 222 vs WWK 222H

The WWK 222 is the standard 220L model. The WWK 222H is the 220L H model with a 1.7 kW smart element designed to assist with hot water recovery during higher usage.

Choose the WWK 222 if you specifically want the non-H model. Consider the WWK 222H if the property needs additional recovery support, subject to electrical suitability and household demand.

WWK 222 vs WWK 302

The WWK 222 has a 220L cylinder capacity and can deliver up to 360L of 40°C shower temperature water at 20°C cold water temperature.

The WWK 302 has a larger 302L cylinder capacity and can deliver up to 540L of 40°C shower temperature water at 20°C cold water temperature.

The WWK 222 may suit smaller to medium households, while the WWK 302 may be more suitable for larger households or higher hot water usage.

WWK 222 vs Standard Electric Storage

A standard electric storage system uses an electric element to heat water directly. The Stiebel Eltron WWK 222 uses heat pump technology to draw heat from the surrounding air.

The WWK 222 may be a better option for customers wanting an energy-efficient electric hot water upgrade, solar PV compatibility and a premium European-made heat pump. A standard electric storage system may still suit customers wanting a simpler lower upfront cost replacement where heat pump space, airflow, noise, drainage or electrical requirements are not suitable.
