A strong under-sink heater for a lavatory that needs hot water on demand from a single cold line, with a wide temperature range. It draws a heavy current, so the electrical circuit needs checking first.

Overview
Eemax built the LavAdvantage as an under-sink tankless heater that switches on only when water flows, fed by a single cold line. A thermostat holds the outlet within a set range, and there is no tank to store or lose heat.
Simple plumbing is the case for it: one cold supply, no relief valve and no tank, so it fits inside a vanity cabinet. The current draw is substantial, and the temperature rise falls quickly as flow increases.
Who it's for
Lavatories in shops, offices and homes where hot pipes never reached the basin are the target. Sites with limited panel capacity, or that want a shower supplied, should size a different heater.
Pros and cons
- Only a cold line required
- No relief valve to install
- No standby heat loss
- Wide adjustable temperature range
- Heavy current draw
- Rise drops sharply at higher flow
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
Outlet temperature is a balance of power and flow: the element that lifts a slow stream a lot manages far less as the tap opens wider, which the listed rise figures show. The flow switch powers the elements only once water moves past the activation threshold.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Eemax LavAdvantage lose heat when not in use?
No. A flow switch turns the heater on only on demand, so there is no standby heat loss.
Can the Eemax SPEX012240T take a hot water feed?
The bullets say it accepts hot or cold feed, although only one cold line is needed at the lavatory.
