AquaFire Base 40 - Opti-myst Insert

ScandiFlames Electric Aquafire Base 40 Opti Myst Fireplace Insert

AquaFire Base 40 is a freestanding Opti-myst fireplace insert that can be used to transform an old traditional open fireplace into an Opti-myst fireplace, creating flame effects using water vapour and LED lights. AquaFire Base does not emit heat but simply provides a visual flame effect.

AquaFire Base 40 measures approximately 40 cm in width and can fit into many different fireplaces.

Dimplex Cassette 400/600

The heart of Base 40 is an Opti-myst Cassette 400/600 burner unit developed by Dimplex. The cassette has a capacity of 1.2 liters of water and can "burn” for up to 8 hours on a single fill. When refilling the fireplace, regular tap water is used.

Cassette 400/600 creates flame effects using a Transducer, which atomizes the water through ultrasonic vibrations. The atomized water is then illuminated with LED lights, creating a completely unique flame effect.

A transducer lasts approximately 6-12 months, depending on usage, after which it needs replacement. A new original transducer costs around £30-£40 and takes only 2-3 minutes to replace.

Installation

AquaFire Base 40 requires no installation and can simply be placed where desired. There is no need for a chimney or flue, and the unit only needs to be connected to a standard 230V power outlet.
