⚠ Installer Note — R290 Flammable Refrigerant: R290 is a class A3 flammable refrigerant. Installation and commissioning must be undertaken by a suitably competent engineer trained in safe working with flammable refrigerant systems (BS EN 378, IEC 60335-2-40 Annex CC). The installation room must have a minimum volume of 20 m³ with adequate ventilation and must not contain any open-flued combustion appliance.
⚡ Unvented System — G3 Competency Required: Supplied with an unvented kit and classed as a G3 unvented hot water storage system. Installation must be performed by an approved installer holding a current G3 qualification, notified to Building Control under Part G of the Building Regulations. All discharge pipework must be installed to BS 8558.
ⓘ 250I — Indirect Model with Secondary Coil: The 250I is fitted with a 0.65 m² stainless steel heat-exchange coil in the lower cylinder section, allowing a solar thermal collector, oil or gas boiler, or other compatible heat generator to supply heat via a closed primary circuit (max 15 L/min, max 6 bar). The heat pump and 1800 W backup element remain available as supplementary sources at all times. For a direct cylinder without a coil, see the 200D (MPN 4057138).

Key Features

Near-Zero Carbon Refrigerant

Uses R290 natural refrigerant with a GWP of just 3 — over 470 times lower than the R134a used in the previous Nuos generation. The factory-sealed, pre-charged circuit means no on-site refrigerant handling and near-zero direct emissions over the product's lifetime, fully aligned with current and forthcoming F-Gas legislation.

Class-Leading COP of 3.51

At the EN 16147 standard test condition (7 °C air / 10 °C cold inlet / 55 °C set-point), the 250I achieves a COP of 3.51 — every unit of electricity delivers over 3.5 units of useful heat. Against the XL tapping profile, annual electricity consumption averages just 1,161.5 kWh/year under average climatic conditions.

Indirect Coil — Multi-Source Heating

The 0.65 m² lower heat-exchange coil accepts heat from a solar thermal array, gas or oil boiler, or solid fuel back-boiler. At 15 L/min primary flow, the coil delivers up to 9.76 kW — heating the full cylinder from 15 °C to 60 °C in under 59 minutes — enabling a true solar-plus-heat-pump hybrid system for maximum efficiency.

Built-in Wi-Fi and Ariston Net App

Integrated Wi-Fi gateway links to the Ariston Net app (iOS and Android) out of the box — no dongle or bridge required. Control temperature, set schedules, monitor energy consumption, activate Away mode, and receive system alerts remotely. Optional voice control via compatible smart-home platforms is supported.

Integrated Solar PV Function

Built-in SG1/SG2 Smart Grid signal inputs detect surplus solar generation and automatically switch the unit to a higher-output heating mode — maximising PV self-consumption without a separate diverter device. The PV boost temperature is fully configurable by the installer via the PV SET parameter.

Ultra-Quiet — 48 dB(A)

The S2 generation operates at just 48 dB(A) (EN 12102-2, ducted Ø200) — measurably quieter than its predecessor. An optional Night function drops fan speed further for whisper-quiet overnight operation, making the unit suitable for installations in or adjacent to habitable rooms.

Advanced Modes inc. i-Memory

Includes Green, Green+, Boost, Comfort, i-Memory (learns four weeks of demand patterns and schedules accordingly), daily and weekly programme schedules, Anti-Legionella automatic thermal sanitisation, and Voyage (holiday away mode with timed reactivation) — all accessible from the touch display or the app.

Titanshield Dual-Protection Tank

The 245-litre steel cylinder is protected by Titanshield anti-corrosion enamel and a replaceable sacrificial magnesium anode accessible via a dedicated service flange without draining the tank. Outer insulation is 50 mm polyurethane — CFC and HCFC free — covered in a galvanised pre-painted steel jacket.

Wide Operating Range: -10 C to +42 C

A hot-gas defrost valve allows uninterrupted heat pump operation down to -10 C ambient by preventing condenser condensate from freezing — extending the hours each year the compressor runs rather than the element. At higher ambients (up to +42 C) efficiency improves further, reducing running costs in warmer seasons.

BusBridgeNet System Integration

Equipped with Ariston BusBridgeNet connectivity. Connects to a Sensys HD remote control and other BusBridgeNet-compatible Ariston products — boilers, heating heat pumps, solar controllers — on a shared bus. A single Ariston Net Wi-Fi gateway on the bus manages heating and domestic hot water from one app across the whole system.

Complete G3 Unvented Kit Included

The MPN 4057139 bundle includes a complete G3-compliant unvented safety assembly — pressure reducing valve, expansion vessel, TPRV, combination PRV, and tundish — correctly rated for this 245-litre cylinder. This reduces installer procurement time and ensures all safety components are factory-matched to the unit.

Flexible 150/160/200 mm Ducting

Accepts 150, 160, or 200 mm duct on both inlet and exhaust, with 189 Pa available static pressure for extended duct runs to an external wall or adjacent space. Operates without ducting in rooms of at least 20 m³. Ships lying flat with built-in carry straps for safe internal manoeuvring, and has adjustable levelling feet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the 250I be connected to an existing solar thermal system?
Yes — this is a primary design advantage of the 250I. The lower 0.65 m² coil accepts heat from a solar thermal array via the 3/4" coil ports (connections D and E). A dedicated sensor pocket (sheath S2) takes a temperature probe for solar controller integration. Primary flow should not exceed 15 L/min and primary pressure must not exceed 6 bar. Consult the solar controller manufacturer's installation guide for compatible wiring configurations and system design guidance.
Does installation require F-Gas certification?
No F-Gas handling certification is required. The sealed R290 circuit is factory-charged and not opened on site. However, R290 is a class A3 (highly flammable) refrigerant — installers must be competent in safe working with flammable refrigerant systems (BS EN 378, IEC 60335-2-40 Annex CC) and must verify the room is free of ignition sources and meets minimum volume and ventilation requirements. A G3 qualification remains mandatory for the unvented cylinder installation.
How does the 250I integrate with a gas or oil boiler?
The 250I can be configured to call an external boiler as a supplementary heat source via the AUX output contact (installer parameter P14 = 1). When the heat pump cannot satisfy demand, the unit signals the boiler to provide heat through the secondary coil. For BusBridgeNet-compatible Ariston boilers, the connection enables fully coordinated system management through the Sensys HD control or the Ariston Net app — with heating and domestic hot water managed together from a single interface.
What is the minimum ceiling height required for the 250I?
The 250I stands 1931 mm tall. For unducted operation, ceiling height must be at least 2200 mm (approximately 270 mm clearance). For ducted installations: O150 mm PVC requires at least 2310 mm, O160 mm PEHD at least 2400 mm, and O200 mm PVC at least 2320 mm. Minimum horizontal clearance is 500 mm on each side for maintenance access. The unit ships horizontally with carry straps for safe internal handling and has adjustable levelling feet for uneven floors.
What features does the Ariston Net app provide for the 250I?
The Ariston Net app (iOS and Android) connects via the integrated Wi-Fi gateway — no separate dongle needed. Features include: remote temperature adjustment; daily and weekly scheduling; mode switching (Green, Boost, i-Memory, Comfort, etc.); real-time and historical energy monitoring; Away/Voyage mode with timed reactivation; and push notifications for system alerts. Optional voice control via compatible smart-home platforms is supported. Installers with an Ariston professional account can access diagnostic data and receive remote fault alerts.
What ongoing maintenance does the 250I require?
Annual servicing by a qualified engineer should include: inspection and replacement of the sacrificial magnesium anode (accessible without draining the tank via the dedicated service flange); cleaning of the evaporator filter (front-access without removing duct connections); checking unvented safety components (TPRV, PRV, expansion vessel pre-charge pressure); and a functional check of all operating modes and the app connection. The built-in Anti-Legionella thermal sanitisation function can be scheduled to run automatically, maintaining compliance with CIBSE hot water hygiene guidance without manual intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the 250I be connected to an existing solar thermal system?
Yes — this is a primary design advantage of the 250I. The lower 0.65 m² coil accepts heat from a solar thermal array via the 3/4" coil ports (connections D and E). A dedicated sensor pocket (sheath S2) takes a temperature probe for solar controller integration. Primary flow should not exceed 15 L/min and primary pressure must not exceed 6 bar. Consult the solar controller manufacturer's installation guide for compatible wiring configurations and system design guidance.
Does installation require F-Gas certification?
No F-Gas handling certification is required. The sealed R290 circuit is factory-charged and not opened on site. However, R290 is a class A3 (highly flammable) refrigerant — installers must be competent in safe working with flammable refrigerant systems (BS EN 378, IEC 60335-2-40 Annex CC) and must verify the room is free of ignition sources and meets minimum volume and ventilation requirements. A G3 qualification remains mandatory for the unvented cylinder installation.
How does the 250I integrate with a gas or oil boiler?
The 250I can be configured to call an external boiler as a supplementary heat source via the AUX output contact (installer parameter P14 = 1). When the heat pump cannot satisfy demand, the unit signals the boiler to provide heat through the secondary coil. For BusBridgeNet-compatible Ariston boilers, the connection enables fully coordinated system management through the Sensys HD control or the Ariston Net app — with heating and domestic hot water managed together from a single interface.
What is the minimum ceiling height required for the 250I?
The 250I stands 1931 mm tall. For unducted operation, ceiling height must be at least 2200 mm (approximately 270 mm clearance). For ducted installations: O150 mm PVC requires at least 2310 mm, O160 mm PEHD at least 2400 mm, and O200 mm PVC at least 2320 mm. Minimum horizontal clearance is 500 mm on each side for maintenance access. The unit ships horizontally with carry straps for safe internal handling and has adjustable levelling feet for uneven floors.
What features does the Ariston Net app provide for the 250I?
The Ariston Net app (iOS and Android) connects via the integrated Wi-Fi gateway — no separate dongle needed. Features include: remote temperature adjustment; daily and weekly scheduling; mode switching (Green, Boost, i-Memory, Comfort, etc.); real-time and historical energy monitoring; Away/Voyage mode with timed reactivation; and push notifications for system alerts. Optional voice control via compatible smart-home platforms is supported. Installers with an Ariston professional account can access diagnostic data and receive remote fault alerts.
What ongoing maintenance does the 250I require?
Annual servicing by a qualified engineer should include: inspection and replacement of the sacrificial magnesium anode (accessible without draining the tank via the dedicated service flange); cleaning of the evaporator filter (front-access without removing duct connections); checking unvented safety components (TPRV, PRV, expansion vessel pre-charge pressure); and a functional check of all operating modes and the app connection. The built-in Anti-Legionella thermal sanitisation function can be scheduled to run automatically, maintaining compliance with CIBSE hot water hygiene guidance without manual intervention.
