6.2 General Description
The Mini tankless water heater differs from
conventional storage type water heaters in several
ways. It does not store hot water. Instead, water is
heated instantaneously as it fl ows through the unit.
The powerful heating elements are activated by a
fl ow switch as water is drawn from a hot water faucet
connected to the Mini. Due to the absence of stand-by
losses, the Mini offers greater energy effi ciency than
storage type water heaters. The unit will continuously
supply hot water as long as the faucet is open
The temperature of the hot water delivered by the
Mini depends on the wattage of the heating element,
the temperature of the incoming cold water, and the

water fl ow rate through the unit. In order for the Mini
to operate properly, it must be carefully matched to the
application.

to use the Mini, please call our technical service line at
800-582-8423 (USA and Canada). For service outside the
U.S. and Canada, please call us at USA 413-247-3380.
