    --  Optionally, the unit can be equipped with an air-heating module to
        improve shower comfort.
    --  It may also include optional RGB lighting systems for chromotherapy and
        integrated speakers for music or ambient sound playback.
    --  All optional modules are software-managed and configurable via central
        control or remote interface.

Conclusion

The system:

    --  Delivers the same amount of hot water as a 120-liter boiler
    --  In just 20 minutes, with no thermal losses
    --  Occupies 85% less space
    --  Is more hygienic and safer (no water stagnation)
    --  Is connected, customizable, and expandable with optional features
