Product Description
Save water by eliminating the wait for hot water to reach the faucet. Simply tap into the water line and install the heater directly at the sink. No need for costly recirculating lines and pumps. And when you want to eliminate the wait for hot water but need more volume, install the Eco smart heater in-line with a larger hot water source, such as a tankless heater or a storage tank heater. Lightweight and compact, these units plug into a standard 110 volt outlet.

The Ecosmart is very simple to use. It has one knob on the front that controls the temperature. That's it. Unfortauntely, the knob doesn't have any markings to let you know what temperature the water will be, so there will be a little trial and error test period needed. We have ours set to just a little bit past the center line. That gives us water that's very warm, but not scalding hot, and perfect for washing dishes and hands. The front of the unit has two indicator lights; power and heating.
The set-up works amazingly well. Now when we turn on the hot water we get hot water in only a couple of seconds, and once the hot water in the Ecosmart's tank starts to deplete, in about 2 minutes, the hot water from the hot water heater has reached the sink, so there are only a few seconds where the water temperature drops a bit. The Ecosmart cycles on and off as needed to keep the water temperature in the tank within your set range throughout the day.
All in all... a great solution for instant hot water.
Heat dial should include a temp LED to let me know what temp I'm setting but it's pretty sensitive and can adjust by a few degrees.
The heater was easy to install by itself, just divert the incoming hot water into this tank and then from the tank to the faucet. The only snag was installing an actual duplex outlet for the dishwasher since it was previously direct wired in. Now, everything works great.
Anyway, it's depth is about 12" -- it's not a svelte little thing like comparable tankless water heaters are. It'd definitely take up a lot of under-sink space if you're installing it there. I'm hard pressed to notice any noise from it. It makes about the same "quiet boiling" noise that my 40 gallon electric water heater does in my house after a shower, but notably quieter. It isn't particularly heavy, but does have some heft to it, especially when loaded up with water.
I chose to run a dedicated 20A circuit with a GFCI outlet for this unit since I was so close to the panel, I already had extra wiring/receptacle from a remodel, and my garage walls are open stud right now, but I'm confident that's not necessary in most cases, especially if you'll be using a 20A shared circuit. My nearest plug was a 15A shared circuit to which all of my tool and lawn equipment chargers are plugged in, and I didn't want to have any problems -- when they're charging (which, for me, is often at the same time), they can chew through electricity at about 12A total. This water heater only seems to spike power draw when it heats its first batch of water after being drained, after that it looks to be using very little power. It had the first 2.5 gallons of water painfully hot in about 30 minutes after the installation was complete. I piped the PRV to the sink below (the photo shows before I mounted the PVC pipe to the stud). I used PEX and a fancy PEX hanger system I found on clearance at Home Depot. Since the pipes are mounted to an outside-facing wall, I covered all the PEX in pipe insulation foam (not all of that is done in the photo).
Now, this isn't as high of quality as the higher-dollar units of similar design you find with more recognizable brand names. For one, the inlet/outlet piping is clearly steel instead of brass, which will rust and already was a bit. I cleaned off the little bit of rust at the tip of the inlet/outlets, Teflon taped the everlovin' out of them, and attached 1/2 NPT to PEX adapters, then piped the rest of it as you see in the photo. After a little scare where the hot water outlet was leaking, all I needed to do was tighten that PEX adapter down more. After that, no leaks, no issues. Given the inlet/outlet pipes are steel and were already showing signs of rust, I don't expect this thing to last as long as a unit that is made with brass or stainless piping, but it was less than half the price. And if it ever leaks, it'll leak directly into the big utility sink below it. In conclusion, it works great, I got it for a cheap price, and it serves my needs well.

Easy to change temperature with a dial. I turn my down in the morning and turn it up in evening. That May not be necessary to conserve energy. It Heats quickly and stays warm for extended periods.
Highly recommended for high use fixtures that are a long distance from the main hot water source.
