FUNCTIONALITIES
- Hot water modes: Comfort (instant & continuous hot water) and ECO (uses the hot water stored in the cylinder, once this is empty it will take 20-30 min to heat the water in the cylinder again).
- Central Heating modes: Summer (heating OFF) and Winter (heating ON)
- Anti-Legionella function: the temperature of the cylinder is automatically raised to 65°C in order to eliminate legionella bacteria.
- Cost-effective (depending on insulation and heat loss management on the property)
- Installer and user-friendly.
- In-built timer: set the times you want the heating to be on/off during the week (can be done on the boiler screen, or via the SMART Boiler App.
SMART PROGRAM/FUNCTIONS:
Built-in SMART controls: you can remotely turn your boiler ON/OFF, change the temperature settings, change the program modes (Summer/Winter, Eco/Comfort) and program the in-built timer with your phone or tablet using the MyBoiler App.
You can change and set your program for heating on/off. When the heating is running as per the smart program, the heating can be controlled by a room thermostat (additional option). There are two option to control the heating:-
Option 1: Via thermostatic radiator valves or the temperature set for heating on the boiler.
Option 2: Via external room thermostat

Elektra Electric Combi Boilers BP range:
In-built hot water storage
The Elektra Electric Combi Boilers BP range can store over 50 litres of hot water at temperatures ranging from 60°C to 65°C. The cylinder holds 37.5 litres, while the central heating reservoir holds an extra 10-12 litres.
Adjustable flow rate
While the default flow rate is up to 13 litres per minute, it has to adjust to 8 litres per minute for filling of the bath.
Optimal temperature delivery
The factory setting of 8 litres per minute is perfect for filling a bath and having a shower because the hot water is delivered at a higher temperature. A good quality thermostatic shower mixer is recommended to get the best performance which can achieve up to 13 Lt/min flow rate.
Simultaneous showers
With 2 bar cold mains water pressure to the boiler, it is possible to have two thermostatic showers running simultaneously, with each shower providing around 4 litres per minute. Mixing with cold water can increase the flow rate to 6-8 litres per minute, therefore the installation of a good quality thermostatic shower mixer is highly advisable.
Efficient heating
The Elektra BP initially uses only 2 kW to heat up the water in the cylinder, and the power usage increases depending on the required temperature rise. It can go up to a maximum of 12 kW over time in COMFORT mode.
Difference between the SMART.BPC and the SMART.BPL
Both boilers have the same components and functionalities, the only differences being their size and the way the components are arranged inside the boiler. The SMART.BPC (C stands for COMPACT) is less wider (450 mm) and deeper (430 mm) than the SMART.BPL ( width: 660 mm, depth 300 mm). Both are 875 mm in height and 60 kg in weight (dry weight).
Installation Space
The SMART.BPL needs a minimum of 300 mm clearance at the bottom. The SMART.BPC needs a minimum of 300 mm at the top and bottom of the boiler. The boilers need to be installed in a place with ventilation to prevent the boiler from overheating to avoid F8 error.
Important facts to remember:
- Continuous hot water supply: An average shower uses 21-25 litres of water, the hot water contained in the in-built cylinder can provide enough hot water for a normal duration shower (5-8 min) in ECO mode. If set in COMFORT mode, the delivery of hot water is on-demand and continuous, similar to Elektra C, as the in-built cylinder is filled with instant hot water.
- Bath filling efficiency: According to BS6700, a standard 1700 x 700 bath requires 100 litres of water at 40°C, split into 60% hot water (HW) and 40% cold water (CW). The Elektra BP (preset at 8 litres per minute) is the only electric combi boiler that can really fill a bath with hot water.
- Optimal mains pressure: The cold water mains pressure entering the boiler should not exceed 2 bar. If the pressure exceeds 2 bar, it is recommended to install a pressure-reducing valve and set it between 1.5 and 2.0 bar pressure and/or 2 Litre potable expansion vessel.
