The SuperStor Ultra Indirect Water Heater draws energy from a boiler and thus does not need its own heat source. Hot boiler water flows through an internal heat exchanger in the tank, heating the domestic water. The SuperStor Ultra boasts 3-5 times more recovery than conventional gas-fired or electric water heaters.

Ariston has a rather long and complicated serial number system. Here’s how it works:
Here’s an example. Backslash marks and an underline added for clarity, but they are not in an actual serial number.
3605034/35/08/133/30055097
So, the short version of all this is that the 10th and 11th digits of the serial number are the year of manufacture.
