Frequently asked questions
- What output should I choose for an instantaneous water heater? A higher electrical output allows a higher hot water flow rate for a given temperature rise (the difference between the cold water temperature and the desired hot water temperature) - for example, an 18-21 kW heater is usually enough for a single shower, while a 24-27 kW unit comfortably handles a slightly higher flow rate or colder inlet water in winter.
- Can my electrical installation handle this output? Heaters with an output above roughly 11 kW usually require a three-phase 400 V connection and an appropriately sized circuit breaker (typically 3x 25 A or more for higher outputs) - before buying, we recommend checking the capacity of your home's electrical installation, ideally with an electrician.
- Can I install this KARMA heater myself? Connecting it to the water pipework is not technically unmanageable on its own, but connecting it to the electrical mains (especially for outputs above 3.5 kW, where it is usually a fixed connection rather than a socket) must be carried out by a person with electrical qualifications.
- What is the difference between a pressurised and a non-pressurised (open-outlet) design? A pressurised heater is connected to the normal pressurised water piping and can supply several outlets in a flat/house at the same time through the piping. A non-pressurised (open) heater works with only one outlet specifically assigned to it and a special non-pressurised (three-way) mixer tap - these two systems cannot be combined with each other, nor can their accessories be interchanged.
- How long does it take for hot water to start flowing? With instantaneous heating, the water is heated continuously as it flows through the heater - hot water is therefore available practically immediately after opening the tap (once the cold water already in the pipe has been pushed out); unlike storage water heaters, there is no need to wait for a larger volume of water to be pre-heated.

About the company
Karma is the largest manufacturer of convection gas stoves in the Czech Republic. The company continues its tradition, which was founded as early as 1910. In June 2006, Karma acquired the German brand of heating stoves Gamat – a brand known as "vafky"
History and present
Karma is synonymous with gas appliances. The name Karel Macháček, one of the most successful and most famous manufacturers, is closely linked to the beginnings of gas industry on the territory of the Czech Republic. Karel Macháček was the first to start mass production of high-quality gas appliances almost 100 years ago. He gave them a brand composed of the initial syllables of his first name and surname.
At the beginning of the 20th century, there was no Czech manufacturer of gas appliances for households. These appliances were supplied to Bohemia by foreign companies – mainly Siemens and Junkers. While in Budapest and Vienna the use of gas appliances for cooking, hot water preparation and ironing was quite widespread and gas industry was on the rise, in Prague there was a decline in this area. It was mainly caused by the arrival of electricity, which started to push gas out of street and apartment lighting. The use of gas was at a historical turning point and the idea of reconstructing gasworks was considered only later.
However, in Prague at that time, an unprecedented construction activity was taking place. Entire streets and blocks of new houses in suburban areas on both sides of the Vltava River were growing like mushrooms after rain, and a modern large Prague was emerging. In the new apartments at that time, gas pipelines were installed not for lighting, but for cooking and baking, for heating water and gradually even for heating. These circumstances were correctly identified and understood by a young enterprising man who knew that a half-million Prague could not exist for long without a factory and repair workshop for gas appliances. Therefore, he established a factory in Vysočany in 1910, where he started producing this range. That young man was none other than Karel Macháček.
Český Brod welcomes you
In an effort to free himself from dependence on foreign subcontracting foundry castings, Karel Macháček built his own modern foundry according to the example of American car manufacturers. When gas production was launched in the new gasworks in Michle with a large production capacity in 1927, a new modern Macháček factory was already standing in Český Brod. Macháček had this factory built to meet the constantly increasing demand from gas consumers for new stovetops, irons and stoves with a tool workshop, pressing machines, sand blasting equipment and a drum, as well as his own enameling workshop with two muffle furnaces. The factory in Libná continued to serve exclusively for the production and repairs of water heating appliances with output from 2 to 30 l/min. Here the factory had its own test laboratory, chromium plating, nickel plating and painting workshop with modern spraying equipment.
