EcoSpring, a New Zealand brand backed by Parex Industries, has launched its latest generation of hot water heat pumps — designed specifically for Kiwi conditions and end-user expectations. Engineered with cutting-edge technology and architecturally mindful design, the new EcoSpring units offer a compelling solution for designers seeking sustainable, efficient and future-proof water heating systems.

Designed by Kiwis, for Kiwi homes

Available in 270L (ECOS270) and 200L (ECOS200) models, EcoSpring units are tailored for New Zealand households ranging from one to four people. These systems operate by drawing in ambient air, amplifying the thermal energy via a refrigerant loop and transferring that heat to a water tank — offering performance efficiencies of over 400% (COP 4.15), significantly surpassing traditional electric and gas systems.

Smart control and real savings

With integrated Wi-Fi connectivity via the Smart Life app, users can remotely control temperature, timers and modes from their smartphones. This functionality not only boosts convenience but enables up to 70% savings on water heating costs, with the system paying for itself in as little as four years.

Sustainability meets performance

EcoSpring is now fully R290 compliant, using a natural refrigerant that delivers low emissions and high efficiency. Quiet operation (43 dBA) and mains-pressure performance ensure comfort without compromise. The units are also endorsed by Gen Less and major NZ plumbing merchants, reinforcing their trusted place in the residential sustainability landscape.

Architect-ready versatility

Compact and sleek, the EcoSpring cylinders are easily installed on a concrete pad (or indoors with guidance), making them a flexible option for both new builds and retrofits. With a five-year warranty, high-spec materials and annual service plans for longevity, EcoSpring represents a smart addition to any designer's toolkit.
