Eemax HomeAdvantage II HA011240 Tankless Electric Water Heater | 11kW 240V SPEX75 FlowCo 240V Tankless Electric Water Heater | 7.5kW

Product Details

The Eemax SPEX75 FlowCo is a high-output, point-of-use tankless electric water heater designed for applications requiring a higher temperature rise or supporting multiple low-flow fixtures. Providing 7.5kW of heating power at 240V, this unit is an ideal solution for commercial and industrial handwashing where incoming water temperatures are lower or flow demands are higher. Its compact, "mount-anywhere" design allows it to be tucked away under sinks or in utility closets, eliminating the need for bulky storage tanks and significantly reducing energy waste by heating water only when it is needed.

Key Features:

• High-Wattage Performance: Delivers 7.5kW of power, providing a substantial temperature rise for single fixtures or serving two sensor-faucets simultaneously.
• SafeStart™ Technology: Features an integrated startup sequence that prevents heating element "dry-fire" by ensuring the chamber is full of water before engaging.
• 360-Degree Mounting: The omnidirectional chassis allows for installation in any orientation, offering unmatched flexibility for retrofitting in existing plumbing configurations.
• InfoCue™ LED Indicator: An external LED light provides immediate visual feedback on the system's operational status and simplifies troubleshooting.
• Durable Ni-Chrome Elements: Equipped with high-performance nickel-chrome heating cartridges that are easily replaceable and resistant to calcification.

Specifications:

• Voltage: 240V (Single Phase)
• Amperage Draw: 32 Amps
• Required Breaker: 40 Amp (Dedicated)
• Recommended Wire Size: 8 AWG
• Water Connections: 1/2" NPT (Top or Bottom)

• Dimensions: 10.75" H x 5.25" W x 3" D

Installation & Maintenance Tips:

• Wire and Breaker Sizing: Due to the 32-amp draw, this unit requires a dedicated 40-amp breaker and 8 AWG wiring. Always verify that your electrical panel can support this load before installation.
• Plumbing Connections: Unlike smaller models with compression fittings, the SPEX75 uses 1/2" NPT connections. Use appropriate thread sealant and ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
• De-rating for 208V: If installed on a 208V circuit, the output will drop to 5.6kW. Check your local incoming water temperature to ensure this de-rated power will meet your needs.
• Annual Flushing: In hard water areas, flushing the unit once a year with a descaling solution will maintain optimal heat transfer and extend the life of the heating element.

Common Uses/Applications:

• Multi-Faucet Restrooms: Can provide warm water for two 0.5 GPM sensor faucets in a single commercial restroom.
• Industrial Wash Stations: Ideal for employee cleanup areas in warehouses or manufacturing plants where higher-volume handwashing is required.
• Kitchen Prep Sinks: Suitable for light-duty kitchen sinks or coffee stations where a steady stream of warm water is needed.
• Cold Climate Regions: The higher kW rating makes this an excellent choice for point-of-use heating in northern climates where incoming groundwater is significantly colder.

Common Questions:

Q: Is this model thermostatic?

A: No. The SPEX75 is a flow-modulated (non-thermostatic) unit. The output temperature is determined by the flow rate and incoming water temperature. For a thermostatic version, look for the **SPEX75T** or **LavAdvantage** series.

Q: Can I use this for a residential shower?

A: No. While 7.5kW is powerful for a sink, a standard shower typically requires 18kW to 27kW to provide a comfortable experience at 2.0+ GPM.

Q: Does the unit shut off automatically?

A: Yes. The unit only draws power when water is flowing. Once the faucet is closed and the flow drops below 0.3 GPM, the unit enters standby mode.

The Eemax SPEX75 FlowCo offers a powerful, space-saving alternative for high-demand point-of-use heating, ensuring endless hot water for your most active commercial fixtures.
