        Q:How many gpm

        Answer This Question

        A:  Hello JoJo, The maximum GPM that the ECO-11 unit can provide is 2.9 given that the inlet temperature is approximately 77F degrees. A tankless water heater's estimated GPM is highly dependent on the inlet temperature. Please refer to the associated Specification Sheet for GPM estimations at various inlet temperatures. Isaiah

        by|May 1, 2024

          A:  This unit will push 1.56 gpm but only for one utility at a time.

                  Q:To raise the water temperature by 40F, what would be the output flow rate (gpm) for ECO 8 (8kW) and ECO 11 (13kW) ?

                  Answer This Question

                  A:  Hello William, The Ecosmart Specification Sheet provides estimated GPMs at various inlet temps to reach an outlet temp of 105F. Please refer to the associated Specification Sheet and the most approximate inlet temperature to your home to estimate the GPM of both the ECO 8 & ECO 11 in your application. This will also help you determine the number and type of hot water access points each model could support. Isaiah

                  by|May 1, 2024

                    A:  ECO 8 pushes 1.56gpm as the ECO 11 will give you 2.54gpm. Using less utilities at once will help you but with the larger output the ECO 11 has you can run more at the same time without any interference in temp.

                      A:  I don’t have the exact answer, but what I can say is, it feel very good to take a shower, the water pressure is awesome and I’ve always recommend my friend to buy it. My electrical bill is very good

                          Q:The hot water line at my washing machine is 100F. Can the ECO 11 (13 kW) be used to raise the temperature to 140F from 100F? Only the washing machine will be using the 140F water. Or a smaller unit is sufficient (which one)?
