General Description

The AQM tankless water heater diff ers from conventional
storage type water heaters in several ways. It does not store
hot water. Instead, water is heated instantaneously as it fl ows
through the unit. The powerful heating elements are activated
by a fl ow switch as water is drawn from a hot water faucet
connected to the AQM. Due to the absence of stand-by losses,
the AQM off ers greater energy effi ciency than storage type
water heaters. The unit will continuously supply hot water as
long as the faucet is open.
The temperature of the hot water delivered by the AQM
depends on the wattage of the heating element, the
temperature of the incoming cold water, and the water fl ow
rate through the unit. In order for the AQM to operate properly,
it must be carefully matched to the application.
In case you have questions regarding the way you plan to use
the AQM, please call our technical service line at 800.582.2213
