" Water heating is a substantial portion of a home's energy bill. Most homes have tanks and a water heater, where you have to heat the water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not exactly energy efficient, but in an energy-wise home we're using the tank plus instantaneous-type water heater that gives you all the water you need on demand. Here today to tell us about that is Aaron Siegel from Eemax."
" Hey, how you doing?"
" How you doing?"
" Good to see you."
" A very unique product, tell us how it work."
" Absolutely. Actually, this is what we call our series 3 unit. It's a product"
" It engages for let's say the demand of like a kitchen sink. A low volume, let's say 1 gallon a minute, but then each successive heating module will turn on based upon the additional flow, for example the volume in a shower or multiple showers in the case of this product, and each one of this heating modules has a thermostatic feature, which allows you to very accurately regulate all the temperatures of microprocessors that regulate temperature plus or minus 1 degree from a temperature standpoint. So you can adjust that there and on setup you just set it up to what's your desired comfort level it is and basically the heater will maintain that throughout the operation of the product."
" So, this would provide enough hot water for 2 showers and 2 sinks?"
" Absolutely. Well, within the context for example, if you use the more modern let's say 2 to 2-1/2 of gallon a minute shower heads. The product certainly has the capacity to do that type of volume."
" It's amazing. This is such a small unit when you think about the tank-style heater."
" Yes."
" And the maintenance on this is very much through service?"
" Not really. Essentially what you have here is a product that really reduces the incidence especially if you have hard water conditions that typically that destroy a tank over a period of time for example, liming and calcifications are reduced significantly with this price because you don't have any heat demand on the heating element. Essentially what you have here is ambient temperature on this product until you have flow activation of each heating modules. So the incidence of liming and calcification, which will typically breakdown the heating element of the tank are significantly reduced with this type of technology."
" What do one of these costs?"
" This unit is around 500 dollars."
" Well, that's a----"
" We also make a junior version of this, which is around 400 dollars and it's a 2-heating module system for essentially 1 shower."
" Now if I've got a sink that's located way in the back part of the house that always takes forever for a hot water to get there, do you guys have a small unit that will----"
" Absolutely----."
" fit with that?"
" Absolutely. This is a product here. It's a single stage or a single-heating module unit and it's designed for under the sink handwashing type of applications, but we can also supply a unit with a thermostatic feature, which allows you to a---- for example if you have a long pipe or I'll just say your water heater is in the garage and you have a jacuzzi tub or some sort of master bedroom on the very far into the house. This product will have the ability to sense temperature when the hot water eventually got there from your tank. This unit being able to sense that temperature would essentially shut off and provide----"
" Oh."
" hot water to that location until the hot water got there."
" And how much energy do you have to make this subside?"
" Typically, in studies that we've done, we've----on normal usage, anywhere between 20-30 and upwards to 40%, so the savings is fairly substantial with this type of products."
" I wanna buy one of these. Where do I find one?"
" Basically, we have a network of wholesale distributors that handle our products plumbing supply houses, which are available through our website. So if you go to our website which is eemax.com, we have a list of distributors that you can get these products from locally. Each market has a basically a network of wholesalers that handle our product."
" Well, Aaron great information. Thank you."
" Thank you very much. Appreciate it."
