Product detailed description
The Buderus brand is part of the Bosch Thermotechnik group and has for decades been among the leaders in heating and hot water technology in Germany and throughout Europe. The combination of German manufacturing quality, focus on energy efficiency and a wide range of mutually matched components makes Buderus cylinders a proven choice for new builds and renovations alike.
Buderus Logalux S160 hot water cylinder, white
Buderus Set S160, white is an indirectly heated cylinder with a volume of 160 litres designed for domestic hot water preparation in combination with a gas or other boiler. It is a larger-volume sibling of the S120 model, suitable for households with higher comfort requirements and simultaneous hot water draw-off from multiple points. A single heat exchanger inside the tank ensures efficient heat transfer from the boiler's heating water to the stored hot water.
The white casing is resistant to normal wear and tear in utility rooms, the inside of the tank is enamelled with a protective magnesium anode, and quality PU insulation limits heat loss during hot water storage.
What's included in the set
The complete set includes:
- Logalux SU160/5, white (code 8718543058, 1 pc)
- Sensor Set, RD 6.0 3000 10K (code 7735502288, 1 pc)
- Logafix expansion vessel D18, 10bar, white (code 80432074, 1 pc)
- Logafix AirfixControl (code 7747201056, 1 pc)
- Expansion vessel bracket MB2 (code 12222017, 1 pc)
The RD 6.0 Sensor Set measures water temperature for reheating control, the Logafix D18 expansion vessel (10 bar) compensates for volumetric changes in water during heating, the AirfixControl safety valve with pressure gauge protects the system from excessive pressure, and the MB2 mounting bracket ensures its secure attachment.
How to choose the right cylinder size
The 160-litre volume is suitable for households with 4 or more members, or where higher comfort is required for simultaneous draw-off from multiple outlets (e.g. shower and kitchen sink at the same time). For smaller households of 2-3 people, the smaller S120 model is usually sufficient, while for higher demands (e.g. bathtub, multiple bathrooms) it is worth considering an even larger volume or consulting a designer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between S120 and S160?
The S160 model has a volume of 160 litres compared to 120 litres for the S120, meaning a larger supply of hot water for households with higher consumption.
Does the set include a safety circuit?
Yes, the S160 set includes a complete safety circuit - an expansion vessel, an AirfixControl safety valve and a mounting bracket.
Is the cylinder compatible with common gas boilers?
Yes, the heat exchanger is standardised and suitable for connection to most common heat sources on the market.
What is the recommended service inspection frequency?
An annual inspection is recommended as part of a regular heating system service check, including inspection of the anode and safety valve.
Will a 160-litre cylinder fit in a typical boiler room?
The dimensions of the S160 cylinder are still compact and require only slightly more space than the S120 model; exact dimensions can be found in the manufacturer's technical data sheet.
Is it available in another colour?
Yes, this model is also available in a silver-metallic finish while maintaining the same technical parameters.
Installation and operation
Installation of the cylinder and its connection to the heating or solar circuit must be carried out exclusively by a qualified person with appropriate authorisation - this involves work on hot water, gas or electrical systems as well as pressure vessels, where incorrect installation can jeopardise operational safety and warranty validity. Before installation, we recommend checking that there is sufficient space at the installation site for service access (particularly to the heat exchangers, anode and sensors), that the floor can bear the weight of the filled cylinder, and that drainage for any water from the safety valve is ensured.
After connection, the cylinder must be filled, vented and the control technology (sensors, or solar circuit control if applicable) set according to the project documentation and the manufacturer's instructions. Regular service inspection - checking the anode, tightness, pressure in the expansion vessel and function of the safety valve - extends the cylinder's service life and reduces the risk of unexpected failure.
Warranty and service
Buderus products are usually covered by a 2-year statutory warranty. When the appliance is registered via the official Buderus portal and commissioned by an authorised service technician, it is under standard conditions possible to obtain an extended warranty on the cylinder's heat exchanger - we recommend verifying the exact conditions and length of the extended warranty directly during product registration or with an authorised Buderus service partner. The Buderus service network in Slovakia is extensive, spare parts are readily available, and if the installation and maintenance instructions are followed, you can expect many years of trouble-free operation from the cylinder.
