Overview
The Camplux ME60 is a 6-gallon point-of-use electric water heater built for a spot far from the main tank, such as a kitchenette, bar sink or workshop washroom. It runs on a standard 120-volt outlet and mounts on a wall, shelf or floor near the fixture it serves.
At 6 gallons it sits at the larger end of the point-of-use category, giving it a bit more reserve than 2.5-gallon models before the tank runs cold. The glass-lined steel tank and insulation foam are standard fare for this class, aimed at keeping heat loss down between draws rather than heating water instantly. Three temperature settings from 50 to 149 degrees F give some control, though this is a supplement to a home's main heater, not a replacement for one.
- 6-gallon point-of-use tank
- 120V, 1440W, UL listed
- 50-149 F adjustable thermostat
- 3/4 inch NPT, 150 PSI max
Who it's for
Fits homeowners adding hot water to a distant sink, camper or small workshop where running a pipe back to the main heater is impractical. Not sized for showering or for a household relying on it as the sole hot water source.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 6-gallon capacity gives more reserve than smaller mini-tanks
- Wall or floor mounting bracket included
- Adjustable thermostat with high-limit overheat protection
- 3-year tank and 2-year parts support
- 120V 1440W element reheats slowly compared to a full-size tank
- Not a substitute for whole-home hot water
- No stated continuous flow rate
Performance notes
The unit heats and holds water in a 6-gallon glass-lined tank rather than heating on demand, so recovery time between uses depends on the 1440W element reheating that reserve. Three thermostat settings across a 50-149 F range let the temperature be tuned rather than fixed, and a high-limit device is built in to cut power if the tank overheats. Maximum rated pressure is 150 PSI, with 3/4 inch NPT connections for a straightforward tie-in to an existing cold line.
