How to install water pump for E-Matrix Fires?
An e-MatriX creates its "flames" from water vapour and therefore needs water. If the fire sits somewhere you can't run a water pipe to, you use a water pump kit with a tank instead of a mains connection. Here is the whole installation, step by step. This guide is written for the e-MatriX, but the same kit and the same method apply to e-Slim Linear, CAS500 and CAS1000. If you're looking for error codes instead, they're in our guide to error codes and spare parts. The one rule you can't break The pump box must sit lower than the tank outlet. Otherwise the pump cannot prime, and the fire will throw a water fault the very first time you run it. Everything else in this guide can be adjusted - this can't. Water supply Do you actually need a pump? There are two ways to supply the fire with water. The choice comes down to where the fire is installed, not which model you have. Mains connection The fire connects to the mains supply with a ½" or ¾" fitting. Water pressure must be between 0.5 and 8 bar. It's the simplest solution: no tank to fill, no tank to clean, and no risk of the pump running dry. Water pump kit If you can't run water to the fire - a freestanding wall, an island installation, or a refurbishment where pipework gets expensive - you use a pump kit with a tank. The trade-off is that the tank needs filling and cleaning regularly. Please note No tank is supplied with the pump kit. You choose your own, and there are some clear requirements for it. Either way the same rule applies: filtered or decalcified water only. Preparation Choosing the right tank The tank has to meet four requirements. It must be plastic, in a material that won't react with the water. It must not be fully sealed - it needs to draw air in, or the water won't flow out. It must be able to stand on a stand or shelf so the outlet is higher than the pump box. And it must be easy to reach, because it needs cleaning. The size determines how often you'll be refilling: Model Water consumption 10 litres gives you e-MatriX mood / 800 / 1600 ST approx. 200 ml/h approx. 50 hours of running time e-MatriX linear approx. 400 ml/h approx. 25 hours of running time CAS500 approx. 200 ml/h approx. 50 hours of running time CAS1000 approx. 400 ml/h approx. 25 hours of running time e-Slim Linear 1200/450 approx. 400 ml/h approx. 25 hours of running time e-Slim Linear 1700/450 approx. 600 ml/h approx. 16.5 hours of running time e-Slim Linear 2200/450 approx. 800 ml/h approx. 12.5 hours of running time These are the manufacturer's guide figures and do not allow for evaporation from the tank itself. Faber's user manual states 0.15 l/h for mood and 800/1600 ST and 0.3 l/h for linear - size your tank on the higher figure. What you'll need to hand A drill with a 16-20 mm bit or hole saw, chosen to suit the tank material. A sharp knife to cut the blue pipe to length. Pliers for the white clips. Two screws for mounting, if the pump box is going on the wall. Positioning Where should the pump and tank go? Within 2 metres of the fireplace. Pump box below the tank outlet - always. Tank and pump may sit a maximum of 2 metres below the water level in the fire's sump. Never place the tank above the fireplace. Enough clearance from live parts that a spill can't reach the electronics. The pump box sits feet down - on the floor, or hung on the keyhole slots on the back using two screws 90 mm apart, protruding 5-10 mm. Both need to stay accessible: the tank for filling and cleaning, the pump box for servicing. Build a stand In practice the height requirement almost always means the tank stands on a small stand or shelf, with the pump box on the floor below it. Work that out before you drill into the tank. Step by step Fitting the tank, pipework and power We recommend having a qualified plumber make the connections, so the installation is secure and watertight. Drill the hole in the tank. 16-20 mm, as close to the bottom as possible - that way you use all the water in the tank. Fit the bulkhead. Remove the plastic nut, insert the bulkhead into the hole with the rubber seal on the outside, and tighten the nut on the inside. Run the clear pipe. Push the 500 mm clear pipe fully over the barbed end of the bulkhead and fit a white clip around it. Fit the valve. Connect the other end of the pipe to the water valve. The valve can face either direction. Connect the pump. The clear pipe from the pump box goes on the other side of the valve. Fit clips on both sides - but not where they obstruct the valve handle. Blue pipe into the pump outlet. Push it fully home; about 12 mm of pipe should go into the fitting. On to the water filter. Watch the flow direction arrow on the filter - the pipe from the pump must go into the filter inlet. From filter to fire. Cut a suitable length of blue pipe and run it from the filter outlet to the ball valve and mesh filter at the fireplace. Power. Fit the cable to the pump box and the other end to the terminal on your appliance. For e-MatriX and CAS500/1000 you use the 2-way cable (A). The 3-way cable (B) is for e-Slim Linear only. First start-up. Fill the tank, open the valve, and check that water is visible in the clear pipe at the pump inlet. If it isn't, briefly remove the blue outlet pipe from the pump box to let water flow in and prime the pump. Never run the pump dry The pump box must never run without a water connection. If you start to hear the pump clearly, the tank is running low - top it up. Run completely dry and the fire will stop with a water fault, and the pump can be damaged. Day to day Refilling, cleaning and faults Once water and power are connected, the pump box feeds water to the fire whenever it calls for it. The pump runs quietly and shouldn't be audible in normal operation. If it starts to make itself heard, the tank is usually running low. Refilling When the tank runs dry, the fire stops and reports a low water level. Refill the tank, then reset the fire - the procedure is in our error code guide. Cleaning the tank Clean the tank every four weeks. Close the valve between tank and pump box. Remove the white clip nearest the pump box with pliers, pull the clear pipe off the valve, and lift the tank out. Add a little washing-up liquid, clean all surfaces with a soft brush, and rinse thoroughly with clean water so no residue is left behind. Use filtered water only Limescale is the most common cause of faults on a water vapour fireplace. Filtered or decalcified water extends the life of the pump, the solenoid valve and the transducers alike - and limescale damage is not covered by the warranty.

Frequently asked Common questions Does the water tank need to sit higher than the pump? Yes. The pump box must always be positioned below the tank outlet so the pump can prime itself with water. Tank and pump may sit a maximum of 2 metres below the water level in the fire's sump, and the tank must never be placed above the appliance. Does the pump kit come with a water tank? No. The pump kit is supplied without a tank so you can choose one that fits the space. The tank must be plastic, vented rather than fully sealed, and easy to reach for cleaning. What size tank do I need? A 10-litre tank gives approximately 50 hours of running time on an e-MatriX mood or 800/1600 ST, and approximately 25 hours on an e-MatriX linear. Choose a larger tank if you want to refill less often. How far can the pump sit from the fireplace? A maximum of 2 metres. Tank and pump may also sit no more than 2 metres below the water level in the fire's sump. Which cable does an e-MatriX need? The 2-way cable (A), part number 06023876. The 3-way cable (B) belongs to the e-Slim Linear and must not be used on an e-MatriX. Can I use ordinary tap water in the tank? No. Faber specifies filtered or decalcified water. Tap water contains limescale, which builds up on the pump, the solenoid valve and the transducers and eventually triggers error codes. Limescale damage is not a warranty matter. How much does a pump kit or spare part cost? Prices depend on the model, the part variant and current availability, so we quote each request individually. Send us the part number along with your model name and serial number and we'll come back with price and lead time. Unsure about your set-up?

How Much Heat Does an Electric Fireplace Give Out, and What Does It Cost to Run?
Two questions come up more than any others about electric fireplaces: how much warmth will it actually give out, and what will it cost me to run. They are really the same question from two directions, because the heat output determines the consumption. This guide covers both. How Much Heat Does an Electric Fireplace Give Out? Most electric fireplaces produce between 1kW and 2kW of heat, with some larger models reaching around 3kW. Nearly all offer at least two settings, so you can run at full output or roughly half. Most models work by passing air over a heating element and blowing it into the room with a fan, which warms the space quickly. Some use radiant elements instead, which heat objects and people directly rather than the air. Heat and flame work independently. Every model we sell lets you run the flame effect with the heater switched off. This is how most owners use their fireplace for the majority of the year, and it is also the single biggest factor in what it costs you. What Affects How Warm the Room Gets Two identical fireplaces in two different rooms will not feel the same, and the difference is usually the room rather than the appliance. Insulation. A well-insulated modern room holds onto heat; an older, draughtier one loses it as fast as the fire supplies it. Ceiling height. Sizing rules are based on floor area, but the fire has to warm a volume. High ceilings need noticeably more output. Glazing. Large windows and patio doors lose a lot of heat, particularly if they are single glazed. Draughts. An open chimney, an ill-fitting door or an unsealed letterbox will undo a lot of what the fire is doing. Climate. The same fireplace has a very different job in a mild winter than in a cold one. Open-plan layouts. If the room opens into a hallway or another space, the warm air will spread further than the floor area suggests. This is why no guide can tell you exactly how warm your room will be. What a sizing figure gives you is a sensible starting point, which you then adjust up if several of the factors above apply to you. Supplementary Heat, Not a Central Heating Replacement An electric fireplace is designed to warm the room it sits in. It is not built to heat a whole house, and using one that way is both ineffective and expensive. Used as intended, it is a good complement to an existing system. It takes the chill off a living room in the evening without firing up the central heating for the entire property, and it pairs well with underfloor heating, which is slow to respond, by providing quick warmth on demand. What Does It Cost to Run? The calculation is simple once you know two numbers. Power (kW) x hours used x your electricity rate = cost A 2kW fire running for 3 hours uses 6 kWh. Multiply that by whatever you pay per kWh and you have your answer. Your electricity rate is printed on your bill, usually as a price per kWh. That single number is what makes running costs vary so much between households and between countries, which is why no guide can give a figure that is accurate for everyone. What Each Setting Actually Draws Because the flame effect is LED lighting, it costs very little to run. The heater is where nearly all the consumption sits. Setting Typical draw Energy used per hour Flame effect only Well under 0.1 kW Comparable to a few LED bulbs Heater on low Around 1 kW 1 kWh Heater on high Around 2 kW 2 kWh Check the rating plate or specification for your own model, as outputs vary. The pattern holds regardless: the flame on its own costs a small fraction of the heater, and the low setting costs roughly half the high setting. Working Out Your Own Cost Usage Energy used 1 kW for 4 hours 4 kWh 1.5 kW for 4 hours 6 kWh 2 kW for 4 hours 8 kWh 2 kW for 4 hours, 5 evenings a week, across 3 winter months Around 480 kWh That last row is worth pausing on, because an hourly figure always sounds small and a seasonal total is what actually turns up on your bill. Efficiency and What It Really Means An electric heating element converts essentially all the electricity it draws into heat in the room. There is no flue, so nothing is lost up a chimney. It is worth being precise about what that does and does not tell you. It means the appliance wastes nothing. It does not mean electricity is the cheapest way to heat a room, because that depends on what a unit of electricity costs where you live compared with a unit of gas. In many countries electricity costs considerably more per kWh. Compare the two rates on your own bill before assuming a swap will save money on heating alone. Why Zone Heating Changes the Sum Where an electric fireplace genuinely saves money is by letting you avoid heating rooms nobody is in. Zone heating means warming only the space you are actually using. Turning the central heating down and running the fire in the living room for an evening can work out cheaper than heating the whole house to the same comfort level, even though electricity costs more per unit. The saving comes from heating less space, not from the appliance being cheaper to run. How well this works depends on your home. It suits a well-insulated room where you spend long evenings in one place. It works less well in an old, draughty house, or if you end up running the fire and the central heating together. Four Ways to Keep the Cost Down Use flame-only mode outside the coldest months. The single biggest saving available, and most people underuse it. Choose a model with a thermostat. The element cycles off once the room reaches temperature instead of running continuously, which can cut consumption substantially over an evening. Use the low setting first. A room that is already warm rarely needs full output to stay warm. Turn the central heating down when the fire is on. Running both at once removes the entire benefit of zone heating. If you are unsure which output suits your room, get in touch and we will talk it through with you.

Electric Fireplaces Explained: What They Are and How They Work
Key Takeaways An electric fireplace produces its flame with light rather than combustion, so there is no smoke, soot or ash Heat comes from a separate electric element and fan, and can be switched off so the flame runs on its own year-round No chimney, flue or ventilation is needed, so one can go in almost any room The three main formats are freestanding, wall-mounted and built-in Flame realism ranges from simple LED through 3D optics to projection-based systems marketed as holographic What is an Electric Fireplace? An electric fireplace creates the appearance of a fire using light rather than combustion. Because nothing is actually burning, it produces no smoke, soot or ash, and it has no effect on your indoor air quality. All it needs to run is electricity. With no chimney, flue or ventilation required, it can be installed quickly and placed almost anywhere: living room, bedroom, kitchen or office. Despite the flame being an effect rather than a fire, it can look convincing, and many models let you adjust the brightness and choose between different flame colours. Heat and flame operate independently, so you can run the flame effect on its own during warmer months. Many models can also be controlled by remote or a phone app. How Does an Electric Fireplace Work? There are two separate systems inside the unit, and understanding that they are separate explains most of how these fireplaces behave. The heat Heat comes from a built-in electric heating element, usually a coil or resistance element. When it is switched on, a fan blows the warmed air out into the room. Most models offer several heat settings, and many include a thermostat so the element cycles rather than running constantly. With the heater off, the unit stays cool to the touch, which is why the flame effect is safe to run all year. With the heater running, the outlet grille and the area around it become warm, so keep furniture, curtains and rugs clear of the airflow. The flame The flame is produced by LEDs combined with reflective surfaces. The LEDs supply the colour and movement, while mirrors and angled glass multiply and scatter that light to give the impression of flames with depth. Decorative elements sit in front: moulded logs, crystals or stones, often with their own small LEDs to suggest glowing embers. Controls and safety Starting one is usually a single button on the unit or the remote. Beyond that, electric fireplaces include built-in safety features that fuel-burning fires cannot offer, most importantly temperature sensors and an overheat cut-out that shuts the element down automatically. Many also have a child lock. Types of Electric Fireplace Freestanding models are the simplest. They stand on the floor or sit inside an existing fireplace opening, and all they need is a socket. They cover a wide range of styles, from stoves that mimic a wood burner to modern mantel suites. Wall-mounted models save floor space, which makes them a good fit for smaller homes and flats. Fitting one is comparable to hanging a flat-screen TV, so it does not normally require a professional installer. Our installation guide covers what to check first. Built-in inserts sit inside the wall so only the glass is visible, giving the cleanest finish. They can often be fitted into an existing opening left by a wood stove or older fireplace. Options range from single-sided through see-through and corner units to three-sided panoramic designs. How Realistic Do They Look? Realism varies a great deal, and it is worth knowing what separates the tiers before you compare models. Basic LED systems project light onto a flickering surface. They read well from across a room and are the most affordable option, but the flame sits visibly on a surface rather than in space. 3D optics add angled glass and partial mirrors to layer reflections, producing genuine depth that holds up better at close range and from different angles. Projection systems go further again, displaying recorded footage of real fire. Our guide to realistic electric fireplaces compares these technologies in more detail. As a rule of thumb, the further you sit from the fire, the less the difference between tiers matters. What is a Holographic Fireplace? A holographic fireplace is an electric fireplace that uses digital projection rather than LED backlighting. High-resolution LCD or OLED screens play footage of real flames, which is then directed onto angled beam splitter glass or onto a physical log set. The name is generous. These are not holograms in the strict sense. The technique is the Pepper's Ghost illusion, a stage trick dating from the nineteenth century, brought up to date with modern optics and video. The beam splitter lets you see the physical logs and the projected flames at the same time, so the flames appear to move around and through the logs with no visible screen behind them. Many models add micro-LEDs inside the log set to suggest glowing embers, plus speakers reproducing the crackle of burning wood. Heat output typically runs from around 800W to about 1.5kW and works independently of the flame effect. Wi-Fi, app control and voice assistant support are common at this end of the market. A Note on Water Vapour Fireplaces One related category sits outside everything above. Water vapour fireplaces create their flame from an ultra-fine mist lit by LEDs, so the effect occupies real space rather than being an optical illusion, and you can pass your hand straight through it. The trade-off is upkeep, since the water tank needs refilling and periodic cleaning. We list these separately, so browse there if that appeals. If you have questions about any of this, contact us and we will be glad to help.

Realistic Electric Fireplaces: The Ultimate Buying Guide
Key Takeaways Modern electric fireplaces use advanced LED technology, 3D optics, and holographic effects to create flames virtually indistinguishable from real fire Top brands like Dimplex, British Fires, and Faber offer customisable flame effects with adjustable height, colour, and intensity High-definition LED arrays produce thousands of distinct flame patterns and typically last over 50,000 hours Fuel beds, ember effects and crackling sound systems all add to the sense of a real fire Realistic electric fireplaces require minimal maintenance, easy installation, and offer safety benefits over traditional fires The technology behind realistic electric fireplaces has progressed significantly, transforming them from simple heating appliances into sophisticated home features that closely mimic traditional wood or gas fires. Today's best models use cutting-edge flame technology, advanced optics, and carefully designed fuel beds to create a realistic experience. What Makes an Electric Fireplace Look Realistic? The difference between a basic electric fire and a truly realistic electric fireplace lies in several key technological advances that work together to create an authentic flame effect. Understanding these features will help you make an informed choice when selecting your ideal fireplace. Advanced flame technologies, such as LED projection and 3D flame effects, simulate natural movement and depth, making electric fireplaces look and feel more realistic. LED Flame Systems Modern electric fireplaces use sophisticated LED flame technology that goes far beyond simple coloured bulbs. These systems create high-resolution flame images with natural flickering patterns that mimic the unpredictable movement of real fire. Today's high-definition arrays produce detailed flame patterns with natural colour variations that shift seamlessly between different hues, covering traditional warm flame colours as well as contemporary blue, purple, and multi-coloured effects for modern aesthetics. High-end LED arrays produce thousands of different flame patterns, with individual lights programmed to create random variations in speed, intensity, and pattern. This eliminates the repetitive loops common in older electric fires, so each time you use your fireplace the flames appear fresh and lifelike. Some models offer seasonal themes or special effects modes, giving you versatility that extends beyond traditional fireplace expectations. LED technology also offers exceptional energy efficiency, with the visual effects consuming minimal electricity while providing maximum impact. The components typically last over 50,000 hours, ensuring years of reliable operation with virtually no maintenance required. 3D Optics, Reflective Glass and Projection One of the most significant advancements in realistic flame effects comes from 3D optics systems that add genuine depth and multi-dimensional movement. These systems use carefully positioned mirrors, angled glass, and specialised lenses to multiply and manipulate LED reflections, creating layers of flame imagery that appear to dance and flicker with the same complexity as real fire. When combined with proper lighting, these optics maintain their realistic appearance even when viewed from different angles around the room. Some of the most sophisticated models use video projection technology that displays recorded footage of actual fires. These projection systems can show incredibly detailed flame movements captured from real wood-burning fires, providing an authentic visual experience that is difficult to distinguish from genuine combustion. Additionally, some advanced electric fireplaces feature three-sided panoramic designs, allowing the realistic flames to be viewed from multiple angles and enhancing the immersive effect. Holographic Flame Effects Holographic flame effects represent the newest advancement in this category, using advanced optical techniques to create floating flame images that appear to hover within the fireplace cavity. These systems often combine multiple technologies to achieve maximum realism, layering projection and reflection to produce a flame that reads as three-dimensional rather than as an image on a surface. If you want to understand how this works in more detail, we cover it separately in our guide to holographic fireplaces. Realistic Ember Beds and Fuel Bed Options The fuel bed plays a crucial role in creating an authentic fireplace experience. Modern electric fireplaces offer various media options, including realistic logs moulded from actual wood, glowing crystals, smooth river stones, and weathered driftwood. Many of these fuel bed elements incorporate LED technology to create convincing ember effects that complement the flame display. The most advanced models feature hand-painted log sets with detailed bark textures and natural colour variations. Some logs even include embedded LEDs that create the illusion of glowing embers shifting and pulsing within the wood grain itself. Multi-Sensory Features Beyond visual realism, many electric fireplaces now incorporate sound effects to enhance the authentic experience. These crackling sound features range from simple speakers playing recorded fire sounds to more sophisticated systems that synchronise audio with the flame patterns. Some premium models also offer aromatherapy options, allowing you to add subtle wood smoke or other natural scents to complete the sensory experience of your electric fire. A Note on Water Vapour Fireplaces If you want the most convincing flame of all and are open to looking outside the electric fireplace range, it is worth knowing about water vapour fireplaces. These use ultrasonic transducers to create an ultra-fine mist that, when illuminated by precisely positioned LEDs, produces a genuinely three-dimensional flame you can pass your hand through. The trade-off is maintenance: the water tank needs refilling roughly every 8 to 10 hours of continuous use, and cleaning every 3 to 6 months to prevent mineral buildup. We list these as a separate category, so browse there if the absolute peak of realism matters more to you than simplicity.
