Overview
Mounting this Eemax heater under a handwashing sink delivers hot water only when the faucet runs. It is non-thermostatic, so the outlet temperature depends on how fast water flows, which suits sensor and metering faucets with a steady flow.
Small size and on-demand heating cut wait time and standby losses at a single sink. Without a thermostat, a faucet with changing flow gives changing temperatures.
Who it's for
Commercial restrooms, clinics and break rooms with fixed-flow faucets. Homes wanting a kitchen or shower supply need a thermostatic model.
Pros and cons
- Compact under-sink size
- Heats only on demand
- Mounts any direction
- Long leak warranty
- Temperature varies with flow
- Needs a 240 V circuit
- Single fixture only
Performance notes
With a fixed power input, the temperature rise depends on how fast water passes through, so slower flow gives hotter water. SafeStart and self diagnostics are listed among its controls.
