Electric Tankless (instant, on demand) Hot Water Heater, Small
View larger image
Enjoy endless hot water, when you want it, and only when you need it. Go Tankless and Save!

This Smart Technology electric tankless water heater is configured for climates where incoming water temperatures are in the 60°F to 78°F range. These models are well suited for homes in the southern States. Digital Temperature Control allows you to set your temperature up to 125°F. Designed for a maximum flow rate of 1.5 GPM.



 



Maximum Flow Rate Desired: You should consider the maximum flow rate you really need or use. See the chart below for flow rate guidelines for various hot water applications in the home. The average shower temperatures are between 98°F to 105°F. The chart is based on a 220V input voltage and maximum flow rates are listed for various incoming water temperatures.

If you typically use about 2.5 gallons per minute (one shower with water saver showerheads and one hand sink) at the same time, find the 2.5 GPM on the chart or the number closes to it. If the number is highlighted in GREEN, then it is the correct model for you. If it is highlighted in YELLOW, that means you can get by with it. If it is highlighted in RED, then consider a model a step or two up.

Breaker size and wire gauge must meet all applicable local, state, provincial, and national electrical codes for your area. These are only guidelines that will apply to most installations. Some codes require use of electrical sub-panel for installation, especially when heater is not mounted within line-of-sight of the main electrical panel. Wiring should be sized to maintain a voltage drop of less than 3% under load.

The above specifications are only guidelines. If your home is already equipped with a large number of electrical appliances, you may require a larger electrical service than the one recommended above. Please consult an electrician before placing an order.

Tankless Water Heaters

Currently the United States is the world's largest energy consumer and for that reason is also the largest source of global warming pollution. The U.S. emits more carbon dioxide than China, India and Japan, combined. 25% of the carbon dioxide pollution produced by the U.S. comes from fossil-fuel burning. By switching to more energy efficient appliances and equipment such as the ECOSMART Tankless Water Heater, we can reduce the use of electricity and cut carbon dioxide pollution produced from power plants. When it comes to water heating, you won't find a higher performing, more efficient and better quality tankless water heater than the ECOSMART Tankless Water Heater.

Misspellings for all those web searchers needing to find us: Echosmart, Echo Smart, hotwater heater
