NetZero Waterplace Water Vapor Fireplace Burner
The NetZero Waterplace makes a flame out of water vapor and LED light. It burns no fuel and it produces no heat, so it's all about the look: a moving flame you can set into a NetZero firebox or a custom built-in. Swap in log sets like White Oak, Birch, Norway Spruce, or Driftwood, or go modern with glass or stone media.
Burners come in 20, 40, and 60 inch lengths. The standard Waterplace has natural orange flames and runs from its own tank, up to 20 hours per fill. The Platinum adds 30 adjustable flame colors, a smartphone app, and a direct water line connection for continuous operation. Standard models can hook up to a water line too with NetZero's Direct Plumb Kit.
What Makes the Waterplace Different
- Water vapor flames. Vapor lit by LEDs creates the flame, with no fuel burned.
- No heat. Nothing burns, so the flame is purely about the look of a fire.
- Standard or Platinum. Standard models have natural orange flames. Platinum adds 30 adjustable flame colors and app control.
- Tank or water line. Run it from the tank for up to 20 hours, or connect a water line for continuous use.
- Longer flame lines. Burners can be combined in a custom enclosure for up to 20 feet of flame.

Ownership & Maintenance
Use soft or slightly hard water (3.5 to 8.5 gpg), and don't fill it with distilled water or connect it to a reverse osmosis system. A built-in UV-C light turns on for a few minutes each day when the burner isn't in use. We offer ongoing service for our customers.
