Questions & Answers
Will the 6gallon unit support a shower without a tank heater
Hi, This unit is meant as a point‑of‑use booster or small sink/shower supply, not as a whole‑home tank replacement. It’s not intended to be the sole hot‑water source for regular household showering. Derius
Can the size unit be used for 1 person to take a shower If nothing else is running? And how much of an amp circuit does this have to be hooked to?
Hi, The ECO MINI 2.5 can support a single short shower, but only when paired with a tankless or main hot‑water source. By itself, the 2.5‑gallon tank is too small to provide a full shower from stored hot water alone. Derius
Will this go in a camper
Hi Karen, Yes, the EcoSmart ECO MINI 6 (6‑gallon mini‑tank) can be installed in a camper as long as the camper’s electrical system can support it and you have space for it. Derius
How long is the power cord?
Hi Vince, Based on the information you provided, the approximate length of the power cord on this model is 3-4ft. Derius
what is the amp required
Hi Scotty, The ECO MINI 2.5 draws 12 amps at 120 volts. Derius
Can i use in between bathroom and tankless heater ?
Hi, The ECO MINI 6 may be used between a bathroom and a tankless heater. It can work as a buffer tank to provide instant hot water and prevent temperature fluctuations. Derius
What is the total height of the unit including the T&P valve?
Hi Bob, Based on the information provided, the approximate total height including the T&P valve: 19.5 inches. Derius
Is it cost efficient for water and electric usage?
Hi Mark, The ECO MINI 6 is cost‑efficient for both water and electricity when used as a point‑of‑use heater. It reduces water waste and uses relatively little power. Derius

Easy installs are always a win, and it’s great that this mini‑tank heater slotted right in where the old one failed. The simpler interface and the separate power and heater‑on indicators really do make day‑to‑day use clearer. Wanting a longer warranty makes sense, five years feels short for something you’d prefer to “set and forget.” A lot of people would gladly pay extra for a truly long‑life option.

It seems like you’re sharing information about a 1.5 Gallon Electric Mini-Tank Water Heater that you found at The Home Depot. Here’s a summary of the information:
When the temperature dial is set at approximately 50%, the water heater produces hot water at around 115°F at the start of the cycle.
The water temperature needs to drop to 69°F for the heater to activate again. This indicates that the temperature deadband (the range of temperature where the heater will not activate) is approximately 50°F.
The standby water temperature in the tank can range anywhere between 69 to 115°F.
This information could be useful for someone who is considering purchasing this water heater and wants to understand its operation and performance.

SHC 4 Gal. 6-Year Warranty 1300 W Compact Point-of-Use Mini-Tank Electric Water Heater
An SHC Mini-Tank Water Heater excels at supplying hot water as a stand-alone supply of hot water, or in-line as a booster to a hot water tank. It can be used in food trucks and recreational vehicles, or as a buffer in a DHW recirculation loop. It saves water and electricity by putting hot water right where it is needed. The small tank and excellent insulation reduces stand-by losses compared with larger tank water heaters. Used in conjunction with a hot water tank it allows immediate hot water draws without waiting for a long pipe run to purge itself of cold water. Lightweight and compact, an SHC easily mounts under or near a sink with its included bracket. Once filled with water, it simply plugs into a 120-Volt outlet. No special wiring is required. A T and P valve is pre-installed. A world leader in advanced water heating technology since 1924, Stiebel Eltron's engineering excellence and high-quality manufacturing results in products fulfilling the highest expectations of performance and reliability.
