Eemax AutoBooster HATB007240 Tankless Water Heater Booster | 7.2kW 240V

Product Details

The Eemax AutoBooster HATB007240 is an innovative solution designed to increase the hot water delivery of your existing tank-style water heater by up to 45%. This 7.2kW unit attaches directly to the hot water outlet of your tank, sensing the temperature and activating only when the tank's water begins to cool. It effectively turns a 50-gallon tank into the equivalent of an 80-gallon tank without requiring the floor space or expense of a full tank replacement. It solves the problem of "running out of hot water" during high-demand periods like back-to-back showers or laundry days.

Key Features:

• Increased Hot Water Capacity: Boosts the effective volume of your current water heater by up to 45%, providing longer showers and more usable hot water.
• Space-Saving Installation: Mounts directly on top of your existing electric or gas water heater, requiring no additional wall space or floor square footage.
• Digital Temperature Control: Features an easy-to-use digital interface that allows you to set the output temperature in 1-degree increments.
• Vacation & Eco Modes: Includes a Vacation Mode to save energy while you are away and an Eco Mode for optimized performance and efficiency.
• Maintenance-Free Design: No filters to clean and a durable construction that works seamlessly with your existing plumbing infrastructure.

Installation & Maintenance Tips:

• Direct Tank Mount: Designed to thread directly onto the 3/4" NPT hot water outlet nipple of any standard water heater tank.
• Electrical Setup: The AutoBooster requires a dedicated 30-amp, 240V circuit. It cannot share the power feed with the existing electric water heater; it needs its own independent line.
• Inlet Temperature Sensing: The unit remains in standby mode as long as the water from your tank is at the set temperature. It only draws power when the tank temperature drops below your desired set point.
• Safety Clearance: Ensure there is enough overhead clearance above your tank (approx. 10-12 inches) to accommodate the unit and the piping connections.

Common Uses/Applications:

• Growing Families: Perfect for households that have outgrown their current 40 or 50-gallon water heater.
• High-Flow Fixtures: Provides the extra "buffer" needed for oversized soaking tubs or multi-head walk-in showers.
• In-Law Suites: An affordable way to add hot water capacity when adding a bathroom to an existing home.
• Hospitality/AirBnB: Ensures guests have plenty of hot water without the high cost of upgrading to a commercial-sized tank.

Common Questions:

Q: Does this replace my water heater?

A: No. The AutoBooster is an "add-on" that works in conjunction with your existing gas or electric tank heater to extend its performance.

Q: Can I install this on a gas water heater?

A: Yes! While the AutoBooster itself requires an electrical connection, it can be installed on the hot water outlet of both gas and electric tanks.

Q: Will this help me save money on my utility bill?

A: Yes. Because you can set your main tank to a lower, more energy-efficient temperature and let the AutoBooster provide the "kick" for showers, you reduce the energy lost to keeping a massive tank at high heat 24/7.

The Eemax AutoBooster HATB007240 is the most cost-effective way to upgrade your home's hot water performance without the hassle of a full system overhaul.
