Room Air Flow ConsiderationsUpdated 24 days ago

Downdrafts

Open wall cavities beneath the fireplace can cause air to be pulled into the open wall and out of the enclosure. This pressure change creates suction which can pull the flame downward into the fireplace effecting the height and appearance of the flame

We recommend to seal off any open wall cavities within the enclosure and beneath the Aquafire to keep air current from pulling down on the flame.

Air Currents

Avoid blowing air currents from HVAC units directly toward the Aquafire. Direct air currents can prevent vapor from rising vertically as designed and limit the flame height

Aquafire Air Vents

Air vents are situated atop the Aquafire to enable airflow when the device is placed within an enclosure. Should there be a preference for a decorative top or media obstructing these vents, the enclosure design needs to facilitate adequate airflow through the sides or bottom. See this article for additional information regarding air intake requirements and media use
