EcoSmart ECO 18 Tankless Water Heater

This unit is designed for homes in warmer climates where incoming water temperatures are 62°F or higher. It can typically handle a shower and a sink simultaneously, or two showers in warmer regions, but it may struggle to meet demand in colder climates or larger households with high simultaneous usage.

The ECO 18 requires a 240-volt electrical service and draws 75 amps. You will need to install two 40-amp double-pole breakers to support the power load, so it is essential to have a licensed electrician verify your home's electrical panel capacity before purchase.

Instead of heating water to a fixed temperature regardless of demand, the unit uses sensors to measure the incoming water temperature and the flow rate. It then adjusts the power output in real-time to heat only the exact amount of water needed, preventing energy waste.

Yes, the unit features a digital control panel that allows you to set the temperature in 1-degree increments. You can customize your output anywhere between 80°F and 140°F to suit your specific comfort preferences.

No, the ECO 18 is designed specifically for indoor installation. It should be mounted in a climate-controlled area to protect the internal components and ensure consistent performance.

Because tankless heaters are susceptible to mineral buildup, you should flush the system with a descaling solution once or twice a year, depending on the hardness of your local water supply. This simple process helps maintain efficiency and extends the lifespan of the heating elements.
