description EcoSmart ECO 8 Overview
The EcoSmart ECO 8 is a compact electric tankless water heater intended for relatively low hot-water demand. It heats water as it flows through the unit instead of maintaining a reservoir, making it suitable for selected point-of-use or low-flow applications when local water and electrical conditions permit. Its actual output depends on incoming water temperature, desired temperature rise, and flow rate, so installation requires matching those factors with the unit's electrical and plumbing requirements.
