Product Description:
This Smart Technology electric tankless water heater is configured as a “whole home” model for climates where incoming water temperature is 62°F and above. The ECO 18 is capable of heating over 2.5 gallons per minute, which is the equivalent of one water saver shower head (with a 1.5 gpm flow) and one sink with a low inlet water temperature of 62°F, and an output setting of 105° F. Two showers emitting no more than 1.5 gpm each can be run simultaneously when incoming water temperature is above 70° F. Digital temperature control allows you to set your temperature in increments of 1°. All tankless water heaters are sized based on flow rate and temperature rise, and there is a direct relationship between the two. So if used in a cold area requiring a high temperature rise, it will be more limited in the amount of fixtures (gallons per minute) it can heat at one time compared to a warmer climate. However, when sized properly it will provide endless hot water and only consume the energy needed, giving the user complete control. Prior to purchase and installation please verify this model is the right size for the expected demand and electrical requirements. Ecosmart ECO 18 Electric Tankless Water Heater Patented Self Modulating Technology requires a minimum 150 amp electrical panel for installation with (2) 40 amp double pole breakers connected to (2) sets of #8 awg wire. Plumbing connections are 3/4″ NPT. For additional assistance please feel free to contact our support center at 877-474-6473.

What User Say After Use This ECOSMART tankless water heater?
- This is the best Water heater I have ever had! Fairly easy install. Running the 8 gauge wires was a a little hard and putting in 2 double pole 40s in the box wasnt to bad. We live in idaho and the water temp in the winter comes into our house at 32 degrees and with this we have nice hot water!
- The unit arrived on time as expected. The installation was straight forward and can easily be completed by the do-it-yourself homeowner. This unit provides hot water within seconds to my upstairs bathroom. Showers are always HOT. By comparison, my electric bill was $75 cheaper this year than it was during the same time last year. I am hoping to see similar results in the coming months. I am completely satisfied with this product.
- Works great! Using it for radiant heating and it handles the whole house. The thermostat comes on, the pump starts, then the unit delivers a constant 109 degree’s to the floor.
- So far, so good! Actually, it’s been great! Can’t wait for that 1st light bill to see the savings.
(Please disregard my security alarm panel, right above the Ecosmart)
- I purchased my Ecosmart ECO 18 Electric Tankless Water Heater Patented Self Modulating Technology about a year ago and it has performed very well so far it heats the water to the temperature you with it and it has done it every since I have owned it. Excellent Product and on yet I’m saving about 30 to 40 dollars a mouth on my power bill.
