help EcoSmart ECO 36 FAQ
Can the EcoSmart ECO 36 run several showers at the same time?
It can supply multiple fixtures, but the real limit depends heavily on incoming-water temperature. EcoSmart's sizing chart rates the ECO 36 at about 3.8 GPM with 40°F inlet water and 7.0 GPM with 70°F inlet water, assuming a 105°F outlet.
What electrical service does the ECO 36 require?
The 36 kW unit draws up to 150 amps at 240 volts and requires four 40-amp double-pole breakers with four runs of 8 AWG wire. EcoSmart recommends a 300-amp household service, so many existing homes need an electrical upgrade.
How does the ECO 36 differ from the ECO 27?
The ECO 36 uses four 9 kW heating elements, while the ECO 27 uses three. That extra capacity improves flow in cold climates, but it also raises the recommended electrical-service requirement from 200 amps to 300 amps.
Does the EcoSmart ECO 36 contain a storage tank?
No, it is a whole-home tankless heater measuring roughly 17 by 21 by 3.75 inches. Water is heated only while a fixture is running, so there is no stored 36-gallon supply.
