Overview
Not a whole-house storage heater, the Eemax mini tank is a compact electric unit installed right at one sink or fixture. It plugs in with its supplied cord, needs no venting, and can be fed from either the hot or cold supply line.
Placing heated water directly under the tap cuts the long wait at a far bathroom or bar sink and stops cold water from running down the drain. Its small reserve is the limit: a long draw such as filling a tub empties it, and recovery then depends on the heating element.
Who it's for
Homeowners with one remote sink, a garage utility sink or an office kitchenette get faster warm water at that tap. Households hoping to replace a main water heater should look at a full-size unit.
Pros and cons
- No venting or combustion required
- Mounts on floor or wall
- Works on hot or cold feed
- Glass lined, single weld construction
- Small reserve unsuited to showers
- Water connection size not listed
- Needs an outlet near the sink
- Takes cabinet or wall space at the fixture
Performance notes
A microprocessor thermostat holds the set water temperature within a tight band, so output stays steady while the tank has heated water in it. Once a draw exceeds the tank volume, delivery falls to what the element can warm in real time, which depends on how cold the incoming water is. The glass lining is there for tank life.
