Product Features

This Mini tankless electric water heater differs from a 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 hot water faucet connected to the appliance. Due to the absence of stand-by loss, the mini heater has greater energy efficiency than storage type water heaters. The unit 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 PC splash proof casing, UL RECOGNIZED heating element.
