Also, we are going to look at the pros and cons of Instant Hand Wash Heaters.
How Does It Work?
They are electric-powered water heaters that efficiently produce hot water on-demand. Instant hand wash heaters are usually installed where water pipes would otherwise be necessary. Water pipes are costly and cumbersome to install. Instant hand wash heaters are safe and easy to operate, they're fitted with an automatic thermostat to set and sustain the ideal water temperature. There is a mediating built-in safety cut-off system in case of a sudden malfunction. These heating appliances undergo thorough quality checks to ensure they comply with Health and Safety standards. The ease of installation also makes it excellent for office establishments.
The Advantages
1.) On-demand Water Heating
The moment you turn on the tap, water starts flowing through the heater. Giving you a virtually limitless supply of hot water. With the Eldom Eco Undersink Water Heater's 2 Kilowatt power output and water pressure support of up to 6 bar, it can deliver hot water on up to 3 sinks instantly.
2.) Low Energy Costs
Because electricity is only necessary when the tap is turned on. You won't have to pay for the electricity used on heating up water constantly. Unlike a storage type water heater. On a household that typically uses about 200 liters per day, instant water heaters can be up to 35% more efficient than storage type water heaters.
3.) Easy Installation
Since these heaters don't have a huge central tank for water storage. It allowed them to be manufactured as a self-contained appliance. This is ideal for installing at the point of use and, hidden from plain sight. They are also easy to move places around the house due to their self-contained nature. Also, pipes that needed to be installed from the storage tanks, through the wall, and into the taps are no longer necessary.
The Disadvantages
1.) Can't Supply Multiple Taps
Because of the way they are designed, they usually have only one outlet. This makes them only effective when used on a single tap. Unlike a storage type water heater that can provide hot water to every single tap in the house.
2.) Limited Water Flow
This means that the power output of the water heater determines how much water it can heat up at one time. For example, when the water on the tap is exceedingly cold, it might take more time than usual to heat up the water. But in the case of the Eldom Eco Undersink Water Heater, it produces 2 Kilowatts which is plenty enough for adequate heating.
3.) They Can Produce Scalding Hot Water
At times, when the setting of the temperature of the heater greatly exceeds the right temperature needed to heat up the water. It could put out really hot water that could scald the user. We are happy to report that the Eldom Eco Undersink Water Heater, is equipped with an Illuminated switch as an indicator to make the user aware that the heater is on and avoid injury.
