TL;DR
The Torch Guys (thetorchguys.com) is one of only two authorized Aquafire online dealers in the United States. Buying from an authorized dealer ensures you receive a genuine product with Aquafire's full 2-year limited warranty, expert guidance on series selection, direct-plumb setup, and accessories, and after-sale support. We carry the complete Aquafire lineup — Original series (20", 40", 60"), Pro series (20", 40", 60"), Lite (20"), ClearShields, and the Scent Diffuser — with personalized consultations to help you choose the right model for your space.
Why Authorized Dealer Status Matters
Aquafire water vapor fireplaces are precision-engineered electric appliances with patented Double Air-Vapor Flow technology, UV-C water purification, and — on the Pro series — dual LED light bars with 30+ flame colors and home-automation integration. At price points ranging from $2,173 to over $14,000, buying from the wrong source puts your warranty at risk and may mean you receive a unit without proper documentation, support, or access to replacement parts.
When you purchase through an authorized Aquafire dealer like The Torch Guys, you receive:
- Full 2-year limited manufacturer warranty backed directly by Aquafire — gray-market and unauthorized purchases void this coverage
- Genuine, factory-fresh product with all original hardware, power adapter, remote, and documentation
- Expert series guidance — we help you choose between Original, Pro, and Lite, and confirm direct-plumb, firebox, and ClearShield compatibility before you order
- After-sale support including help with installation questions, warranty claims, and parts
- Free U.S. shipping and a 30-day return window on every order
- 110% price match guarantee — if you find a lower price at another authorized dealer, we'll beat it
- Direct access to Tyler and Brian — family-owned, not a call center

Aquafire Original Series: Realistic Flame, Zero Compromise
The Aquafire Original series (20", 40", 60") creates an astonishingly realistic 3D flame from nothing but water and LED light. Zero heat, zero fumes, no gas line, no venting — it drops into a finished opening and runs on ordinary tap water. The patented Double Air-Vapor Flow system sculpts the flame into a lifelike, three-dimensional display, and the internal UV-C light keeps the water and vapor clean.
- Up to 20 hours of continuous run time per tank fill
- Optional Direct Plumb Kit — connect a ¼" water line for nonstop, no-refill operation (with or without the Vapor Pure water softener for hard-water areas)
- Gangable — run multiple units side by side for a continuous ribbon of flame up to 20 feet
- Residential and commercial rated
- Available in 20" ($3,169–$5,022), 40" ($5,565–$8,028), and 60" ($8,374–$11,535)

Browse Aquafire Collection →Aquafire Pro Series: Full Color Control & Smart Home Integration
The Aquafire Pro series is the flagship of the lineup. It adds dual LED light bars with 30+ preset flame colors, independent control over flame color, brightness, density, and speed, and home-automation compatibility — all on top of the same patented water-vapor flame technology. The Pro also has built-in direct-plumb ports (bottom or side exit) so you can run a ¼" water line straight to the unit without a separate Direct Plumb Kit, and it ships with a Vapor Pure water softener included.
- 30+ preset flame colors — adjust independently or let it cycle
- Home-automation compatible — integrate with your smart home system
- Built-in direct-plumb ports — no separate kit required; each insert plumbs to its own ¼" line even when ganged
- Vapor Pure water softener included — guards against hard-water scaling from day one
- Up to 20 hours of continuous run time per tank fill
- Available in 20" ($4,236–$5,455), 40" ($8,003–$9,832), and 60" ($11,656–$14,183)

Browse Aquafire Collection →Aquafire Lite: Entry-Level, Same Flame
The Aquafire Lite 20" is the most accessible entry point in the lineup — the same cool, ultra-realistic water-vapor flame at a lower price. It is manual-fill only (no direct-plumb option), runs up to 10 hours per tank fill, and ships complete with a 24V power adapter, integrated fill pump, and remote. If you want the Aquafire experience without the full feature set of the Original or Pro, the Lite is the right starting point.
- Manual fill only — no direct-plumb option on the Lite
- Up to 10 hours per tank fill
- Compact 20" size — ideal for smaller openings, bedrooms, offices, and accent walls
- Available with optional 32" Aquafire Firebox surround
- Price: $2,173 – $3,562
How to Choose the Right Aquafire
1. Choose Your Size
Aquafire inserts are available in 20", 40", and 60" widths (Lite is 20" only). For a standard living room or bedroom accent wall, the 40" is the most popular choice. The 60" is ideal for large living spaces, open-plan rooms, and commercial applications. Multiple units can be ganged side by side for a continuous ribbon of flame up to 20 feet wide.
2. Original, Pro, or Lite?
Choose the Lite if you want the entry-level price and a simple manual-fill setup. Choose the Original if you want the option to direct-plumb for continuous operation without refilling. Choose the Pro if you want full color control (30+ flame colors), home-automation integration, and built-in direct-plumb ports with no separate kit required — the Pro is the right choice for high-end residential builds, smart homes, and commercial installs.
3. Do You Need Direct Plumb?
If you want to run the fireplace continuously without refilling the tank, you need direct plumb. On the Original series, this requires adding the optional Direct Plumb Kit at checkout. On the Pro series, direct-plumb ports are built in — no separate kit needed. The Lite does not support direct plumb. If you are in a hard-water area, add the Vapor Pure water softener to protect against scaling.
4. Do You Need a ClearShield?
If your insert will be in an open-plan room, a high-traffic space, or anywhere with significant air movement (HVAC vents, ceiling fans, open windows), the ClearShield is worth adding. It sits over the opening and keeps the vapor flame full and steady even in breezy conditions. Available in 40" and 60" sizes.
5. Talk to a Specialist
