INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the
ECCOTEMP ON-DEMAND TANKLESS WATER HEATER
You are now in a rapidly growing and highly discriminating group of individuals and businesses that:
• Prefer the freedom of managing ones own lifestyle through technologically
advanced equipment
• Have the need and desire for hot water WHEN they want it from an ENDLESS SUPPLY.
No more waiting, no more running out of hot water.
Early civilization relied on hot water springs to supply all the hot water needed for cleansing and for
therapeudic purposes. However, as civilization progressed, the accepted method of producing hot
water has become restrictive – the storage tank water heater. We have become conditioned to the
statement “We can’t do the laundry after the family showers”. Or in the winter months, “I have to
wait an hour for enough hot water to take my shower”
For the past 70 years little change has been made in the most common water heater delivery system,
the cumbersome inefficient storage tank heater that still delivers only a LIMITED SUPPLY OF HOT
WATER. Even the classic flow through water heaters around since the Victorian period are inherrently
inadequate for the lifestyle enjoyed by most of the Western world.
Only in the past several years has technology advanced to the point that:
• Metal parts used in demanding applications can be replaced with glass fiber reinforced,
heat stabilized nylon resin.
• Micro-control has reached a new high level of speed and proficiency
The Eccotemp uses a patented* technology that combines and implements the best of both. Only
Eccotemp has been able to develop a water heater that is inherently highly energy efficient, modular,
rust free, scale resistant, and endlessly responsive to the varying demands of flow.
The development of such a system was no small task. Your Eccotemp heater’s patented technology
represents the culmination of over 10 years and millions of dollars of intensive development and
testing. We have outlined what we think are major benefits in this manual. After reading the manual,
YOU DECIDE which is the most important to you.
Congratulations again. We know you are already beginning to enjoy the benefits of your new
ECCOTEMP CONTINUOUS WATER HEATING SYSTEM.
