Aquafire Original - Electric Water Vapor Fireplace
Description
The Aquafire Original is an electric water vapor fireplace that delivers strikingly realistic, natural orange flames - without a single real flame, gas line, or vent. Powered only by water and a standard 110-120V outlet, it can be installed virtually anywhere in your home, from a living room accent wall to a hotel lobby feature. Its patented Dual Flame Spectrum technology produces volumetric, full-depth flame visuals backlit by high-powered LED light bars, giving the effect remarkable depth and motion that flat competitors simply can't match.
Available in three sizes - 20", 40", and 60" - the Aquafire Original scales beautifully from intimate spaces to grand architectural features, and multiple units can even be ganged together for a seamless edge-to-edge flame effect. Built-in UVC disinfection and a Vapor Pure water softening system keep the unit running cleanly with minimal upkeep. Whether you're a homeowner looking to elevate a living space or a designer sourcing a statement centerpiece, the Aquafire Original is the water vapor fireplace that looks like real fire.

FAQ
What is the Aquafire Original and how does it work?
The Aquafire Original is an electric water vapor fireplace that creates realistic natural orange flames using water and LED lighting - not real fire. Water is misted in a chamber and pushed upward through a diffuser vent by internal fans, where it's backlit by high-powered LED strips to create a stunning, touchable 3D flame effect. It plugs into a standard 110-120V outlet and requires no gas line, chimney, or venting.
How long does it run on a full tank?
A full tank provides up to 20 hours of continuous runtime. The 20" model holds 2 liters, the 40" holds 4 liters, and the 60" holds 6 liters. The built-in automatic refill pump makes topping off simple, and an optional Direct Plumb Kit (sold separately) connects the unit directly to your water supply for a fully hands-free, continuous water source.
Does the Aquafire Original require a chimney or venting?
No - the Aquafire Original produces only clean water vapor, with no smoke, gas, or harmful emissions. This means it can be installed virtually anywhere without any venting, chimney, or special permits. It's suitable for interior walls, built-in cabinetry, and open-plan spaces.
Is it safe around children and pets?
Absolutely. The Aquafire Original produces no real flames and no heat, making it completely safe around children and pets. The water vapor effect is cool to the touch, so there's no burn risk. It's one of the key reasons homeowners and designers choose it over traditional or gas fireplaces.
What maintenance does the Aquafire Original require?
Maintenance is minimal. You'll need to keep the water tank filled with softened water and occasionally clean the unit for optimal performance. The built-in UVC disinfecting LED and Vapor Pure water softening system (included with the optional Plumb Kit) help prevent mineral buildup and keep the unit running cleanly over time.
Can I use the Aquafire Original outdoors?
The Aquafire Original is designed for indoor use. Outdoor use is possible under the right conditions - such as a covered patio or protected outdoor space - but it is not officially rated for outdoor environments. Exposure to the elements can affect performance and longevity.
Can multiple units be installed together for a wider flame effect?
Yes - one of the standout advantages of the Aquafire Original is its gangable modular design. Multiple units can be placed side by side for a seamless, edge-to-edge flame effect with no visible gaps. This makes it an excellent choice for large feature walls, commercial spaces, and custom architectural installations.
