Bio Flame WT-78-BLACK 78-Inch Smart Water Vapor Fireplace
The Bio Flame WT-78-BLACK 78-Inch Smart Water Vapor Fireplace creates an ultra-realistic 3D flame effect using advanced ultrasonic water vapor technology rather than combustion. Designed for built-in residential and commercial installations, it delivers the visual ambiance of a fireplace without producing heat, smoke, or emissions.
A 78-Inch Smart Water Vapor Fireplace for Large Architectural Features
With an expansive 1844 mm flame length, seven adjustable flame colors, five flame-height levels, adjustable vapor density, built-in Wi-Fi, smartphone app control, remote operation, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home compatibility, the WT-78-BLACK is designed for large-scale feature walls and contemporary spaces where visual impact and smart control are priorities.
Its ultrasonic technology works with water and LED illumination to create a three-dimensional flame effect without burning wood, gas, ethanol, or another combustible fuel.
Because this model does not provide supplemental heat, it serves a different purpose from traditional gas, wood-burning, or heated electric fireplaces.

- Your installation cannot accommodate the required cutout dimensions.
- The fireplace niche cannot provide the required bottom air-intake gap.

Ultra-Realistic 3D Water Vapor Flame Technology
The WT-78-BLACK uses ultrasonic water vapor technology to create its dimensional flame effect.
Instead of burning fuel, the system combines water vapor and LED illumination to produce the visual appearance of fire.
This makes the WT-78-BLACK particularly useful when a project needs a large fireplace focal point but does not require additional room heat.
1844 mm Wide Flame Presentation
The WT78 features a manufacturer-listed 1844 mm flame length, creating a substantial visual presentation across its 2000 mm-wide fireplace body.
This extended flame length makes the WT-78-BLACK especially appropriate for larger feature walls, long built-in fireplace surrounds, commercial interiors, and other installations where a smaller decorative flame would appear undersized.
7 Adjustable Flame Colors
Choose from seven flame colors to coordinate the fireplace presentation with the room, interior design, or desired atmosphere.
5 Flame-Height Levels
Five adjustable flame-height levels allow the visual intensity and scale of the flame presentation to be changed.
Adjustable Vapor Density
Vapor density can be increased or decreased using the fireplace and remote controls and returned to its default setting.
Smart Wi-Fi Fireplace Control
The WT-78-BLACK comes equipped with built-in Wi-Fi and multiple control options so the fireplace can be managed locally or as part of a compatible smart-home setup.
Remote Control
The included remote controller provides direct fireplace operation.
Bio Flame Smartphone App
The fireplace supports connected control through The Bio Flame smartphone app.
Alexa & Google Home
Built-in Wi-Fi supports Amazon Alexa and Google Home compatibility.
On-unit fireplace controls are also available for local operation.

The WT78 has a manufacturer-listed 12 L water tank capacity and a 6.5 L refill volume.
The manufacturer lists an operating time of 14–18 hours. This should be treated as the manufacturer's stated operating range rather than a guaranteed fixed runtime under every operating condition.

Flame Authority Expert Recommendation
Choose the Bio Flame WT-78-BLACK when you want a large-scale built-in fireplace feature with a wide 1844 mm water-vapor flame, customizable flame colors, smart-home controls, and no supplemental heat.
The 78-inch format is best suited to larger residential or commercial feature walls where architectural scale matters.
If your primary objective is to warm the room, choose a fireplace specifically designed to provide heat instead.
For built-in applications, verify the manufacturer's cutout dimensions, clearances, bottom air-intake requirement, electrical access, and water requirements before construction begins.

Bio Flame WT-78-BLACK Water Vapor Fireplace FAQs
Does the Bio Flame WT-78-BLACK produce heat?
No. The WT-78-BLACK is a decorative ultrasonic water vapor fireplace designed to create flame ambiance without heat; do not choose this model when supplemental room heating is required.
Does the Bio Flame WT78 require a chimney or vent?
The WT78 does not use fuel-burning combustion, but its built-in niche still requires an open air gap at the bottom for air intake. Do not completely seal the installation cavity.
What cutout size does the Bio Flame WT78 require?
The manufacturer specifies a 1995 × 180 × 250 mm cutout for the WT78. Do not determine the cavity dimensions from the nominal 78-inch designation alone.
How long does the Bio Flame WT78 operate between water refills?
The manufacturer lists 14–18 hours of operating time for the WT78, with a 12 L tank and 6.5 L refill volume. Treat this as the manufacturer's stated operating range rather than a guaranteed fixed runtime.
Can the Bio Flame WT78 connect to a water line?
Yes. The supplied manufacturer documentation describes connecting the filling hose to a water tap for automatic filling, while the fireplace also supports manual filling.
