Product Features

This Mini tankless electric water heater differs from conventional storage- type mini water heaters. It doesn’t store hot water. Instead, water is heated instantaneously as it flows through the unit. The powerful heating elements are activated by a flow switch as water is drawn from a main water faucet connected to the appliance. Due to the absence of standby loss, the mini has greater energy efficiency than storage-type water heaters. The units are incorporated with multi-safety devices and will continuously supply hot water as long as the faucet is open.

Besides, the unit has the following features.

1. Tankless, instantaneous heating for on-demand hot water, No pre-heating. No stand-by heating loss. energy-saving.
2. High-strength ABS splash-proof casing, stainless steel heating element.
3. Compact appearance and an unlimited supply of hot water.
4. Easy installation, the heater can be installed above or under the sink. The power cord and plug are equipped
5. Easy operation, the heater provides hot water at a constant temperature.
6. Micro-computer control, Adopting patent heating technology. Water is completely separated from electricity by multi-layers of composite nano-insulation material.
7. Over temperature protection: when the outlet water temp. reaches or over 65°C, the appliance will avoid getting scalded and will start to work automatically while temp. drops to a certain temperature.
8. There is a built-in pressure relief valve at the water outlet to prevent an explosion.
9. There is overheat protection, dry-heating protection, and electricity leakage protection function.
