I plan to use the Eemax EMT2.5 to feed hot water to my energy star dishwasher, which requires very hot water (145 deg F). Does it work? Thx!

We have ours under the sink in the kitchen and the water does get very hot. As for running a dishwasher with only 2.5 gallons you might consider a larger tank.

Yes it works. I have mine in my garage just to wash my hands so it is set to very low temp. I have a two and one half gallon under the kitchen sink that works ok, BUT I wish I had gone with a little bigger one there. hope that helps you.

It works well. In fact, if you use a central water heater, the water is first heated by the central water heater. The water in the pipes cools and then is sent to the dishwasher where it is heated again by the dishwasher. This heater is actually an energy and money saver. We hooked it up the cold water pipe under the sink and tee'd the outlet to the hot water feed to the sink and also to the dishwasher. No more waiting for hot water at the sink and then wasting energy for the hot water that cools in the piping to the sink.

I have the 2.5 gallon model under the bathroom sinks. It works very well. The owners manual doesn't show the max temp on the thermostat. The highest setting is not numbered. It says Max. I did find some specifications on line for the 6 gallon which stated the max temp was 140 deg. Jim

The water heater element is rated at 1650 watts and at 120 volts it will draw 13.75 amps. At alower voltage it will draw less because the resistance of the heating element is calabrated at 120 volts which is the standard for all power companies. A 20 amp circuit with 12 (awg) american wire-gauge wire is required. If you plan to connect it to an existing kitchen circuit please turn off all other appliances on that circuit. I recommend a dedicated circuit for this heater. After all this is done it works well for the kitchen sink and dishwasher. Enjoy. Al S. EE

i was really skeptical on this product because it said it was 220 v instead of 110 v but when i got it it did have a 110 plug on it and I tried it out....well to my surprise it did work....it has a bubbler and a heat source...and it does get hot within about 15 to 20 minutes it will take regular tap water not heated to hot.....it does have a knob that you can change from no heat and bubbler to heat and bubbler to no heat and just bubbler to both off... the instruction manual is in Chinese so useless....but it does heat well...so when it starts getting hot just turn off the heat and by just using the bubbler it will cool it down pretty quick...over all a good product i was really skeptical on this product because it said it was 220 v instead of 110 v but when i got it it did have a 110 plug on it and I tried it out....well to my surprise it did work....it has a bubbler and a heat source...and it does get hot within about 15 to 20 minutes it will take regular tap water not heated to hot.....it does have a knob that you can change from no heat and bubbler to heat and bubbler to no heat and just bubbler to both off... the instruction manual is in Chinese so useless....but it does heat well...so when it starts getting hot just turn off the heat and by just... » Read More i was really skeptical on this product because it said it was 220 v instead of 110 v but when i got it it did have a 110 plug on it and I tried it out....well to my surprise it did work....it has a bubbler and a heat source...and it does get hot within about 15 to 20 minutes it will take regular tap water not heated to hot.....it does have a knob that you can change from no heat and bubbler to heat and bubbler to no heat and just bubbler to both off... the instruction manual is in Chinese so useless....but it does heat well...so when it starts getting hot just turn off the heat and by just using the bubbler it will cool it down pretty quick...over all a good product « Show Less

That might work. Should work electrically. Does it take long to get hot water now? I connected to light switch. Can turn on lights and come back in a few minutes to hot water. Suggest you think about how you would use it.

No, it is not designed for hot water. The filter will fail and may cause damage to your washer.

Don't waste your time or money with that 120v tankless water heater. Adjusted flow rate as low as possible it still only produced luke warm water. Better with Rheem RTE7 . 30amp 240v 7kw plenty of hot!!! water for kitchen sink. I had to turn my t-stat down and still mix with cold water.

This particular model may be too small. The manufacturer's website has a sizing chart that will tell you which model you will need to produce the amount of hot water your number of fixtures will require. I would check with local officials to see if it meets temperature, sanitary and other specific requirements for restaurant use. The cost savings we have achieved are because of occasional use. If hot water is used constantly, it might use more electric than a conventional water tank electric or gas water heater. This unit draws a lot of current when actually in use. The temperature control is excellent and the unit produces really hot water, very quickly.

I haven't used it for hot water either, but I agree it should be fine. It's very heavy duty plastic. Not thin and does not bend..

I found it to be less than satisfactory in regards to heating water for much of anything... I ended up using it as a Point of Use booster on a existing hotwater line after Plumbing a hotwater line to the point where. I had purchased this unit for originally. I hope that gives you enough info to come to a conclusion.

If you feel uncomfortable with the units power transformer, then you should return it or just get a new one. I have measured my transformer heat output and at in house temptress of 75°F, it is around 95°F They are designed to get hot and have vent slots to allow cooling, unit is reducing your household current from 120VAC/60Hz/10VA down to 12VAC/6VA. That in itself causes the unit to get hot. A bad pump will also cause unit to over heat. My unit has worked fine for over a year, but I clean it monthly including build up that tends to clog pump.

This unit has the capacity you would need. The nice thing is your hot water is constant. You can run pretty much what you want at anytime, better than the 100 gal. high recovery water heater I was using. You just need to run you water a little longer the further away from the unit that the faucet is located. Note: for laundry use I will run the hot water in a nearby sink before I start the washer. Minor inconvenience. I am impressed with the unit and happy that I made the change. Has been cheaper, also. Good luck!

I don't know. We have three people in house and my wife does laundry almost 24/7 (slightly exaggerated). Many times we've run laundry and a couple showers back to back and we've NEVER run out of hot water. MY water heater 10 years old. If you're going electric ..... this is my choice for water heaters.

I'm sure it would boost your water to very hot at medium setting however it would defeat your solar savings. Mine works good with incoming water from well at 50 degrees with low pressure set a notch above medium. I'm hooked directly to bathroom shower & branched to sink & washer in same room. Water plenty hot there however I have additional 25' run to kitchen sink which is above warm but not hot. This is old farm house use. If I were you I'd go with smaller unit run off 110 & have close to fixture you want hotter with light switch handy to turn on when needed instead off just the flow switch. With variable temp going in it will still be probably be variable coming out of unit but hotter.

I'm a do it your self er and installed our Tempra 20. Just used 2 50 amp breakers and it works great. I also installed a scale and hard water filter in line and when the filter is ready to be changed, if you are taking a shower and the water in a sink is turned on, the water in the shower gets cooler for a few seconds. I'm thinking maybe if the D washer is running and you are in the bath you may get cooler water with both of them running not sure though.

I installed this product in my rv. it was ok with the 30 amp service, but did not make enough hot water for a shower. It will make enough for washing dishes.

Hi Mike, Thank you for your question. This unit may be able to handle your dishwasher. The typical flow rates of hot water on a dishwasher is .5 to 1.0 gallons per minute. The L in a Chronomite model means .5 gallons per minute. The ones without the L mean 1 gallon per minute. Then refer to the temperature rise number on the particular Chronomite model. The SR20L/240 has a 65F temperature rise at .5 gallons per minute. Kind regards, Ross GadgetsGo Shopkeeper 305-791-1101 P.S. If you have found my advice valuable, please consider that during your purchasing decision.

This item worked perfectly for me on my small appliance, however it only uses 25 watts of power. I would think that the washer/dryer would need more than 100 watts (which is the maximum for this transformer) not sure but that info should be with your washer. It is a great little item & mine still works fine. Also, you must be aware that this item is only be of value if your washer/dryer runs on European or Asian 240 volt electrical cycle & you need to convert/transform the power to 120 volt to make the appliance work.Good Luck!
