  Product Description
The Propex Malaga 5E water heater is equipped with the latest Propex electronics for accurate digital control of the heater's operation and safety functions. The Malaga has a large water capacity and runs on gas or electricity.

The switch panel features a 3-position switch for selecting either gas only or gas & 230V. The heater features and efficient gas burner for fast warming up, 750W element, small flue terminal for neat appearance, electrical control and automatic resettable overheat. It measures at H:25cm x W:32.5cm x D44.5cm, and has a large 13.5L capacity for longer washing and showering facilities.
The heater will operate satisfactorily on either a system where the pump is controlled by the tap microswitches or the one controlled by a pressure switch. It must not be connect to mains water supply. Water connections can be provided to suit a range of standard fittings. Reinforced or semi rigid pipe must be used.

This high capacity water storage heater is available in two versions, the standard Malaga, with an efficient gas burner, and the Malaga E, which has the additional benefit of a 750 watt electric heating element. Both heaters can provide a quick and efficient supply of hot water for showering and washing in touring and motor caravans. The heater may also be installed in boats used exclusively on inland waterways i.e. Class 1 & 2 and subject to finding a satisfactory mounting position. Being a room sealed appliance it conforms to the requirements of the Boat Safety Scheme.

2 FAQs on the Propex Malaga 5E Gas/Electric Water Heater

I am completely revamping my Motor Home and would like to put in a water heater Gas/el I would like some advice please. At the moment I have a heater unit that only heats up when the engine is working. Works Ok but in the morning the water is cold. I have got good water pumps one for Hot and one for Cold to work the shower unit and one for the drinking water.
In your case we would normally fit a Malaga 4E water heater. This will heat up quickly with both gas and electric and should provide sufficient hot water for your needs.
Hello. I want to fit a water heater into living van. I have 12v leisure batteries and propane but no mains supply. Do you have a water heater that I could use this for a shower? If so what pump would I need to go with it? Thanks. Jon.
I would suggest Propex Malaga water heater with a Shurflo pump, probably our ref. 127893

Replacing Water Heater

by Phil Coveney (21 Dec 2018)
4 star review(4/5)
I needed to replace an old Truma gas only water heater in our 1991 Burstner Camper as the parts were either not available due to age or hard to come by here in Spain. The cost to replace the parts I needed did not make sense what would I need to replace next and would it be available ? So a new unit then The Propex Malaga 5 offered all we needed gas and electric only 750 watts perfect as we run a small generator sometimes on sites that do not have electricity. The water capacity is higher than most other more expensive units another plus. The unit is easy to fit well within the average DIY capability, although gas connection should be done by a qualified person. The price was also a good plus. The only negative was that the front mounting bracket could be better designed so that the unit was supported on both sides not just one

Can't review product as not yet fitted, however, excellent service from the company. Item arrived 2 days after order. Unfortunately, the outer vent cover was damaged, despite the packaging showing no sign of damage. But after a phone call to the company, a new one arrived within 2 working days. Thank you very much. Excellent service. Just hope the unit works as well!
