General

The DHC tankless water heater differs from
conventional storage type water heaters in
several ways. It does not store hot water.
Instead, water is heated instantaneously as it
flows through the unit. The powerful heating
elements are activated by a flow switch as
water is drawn from a hot water faucet
connected to the DHC. Due to the absence
of stand-by losses, the DHC has greater
energy efficiency than storage type water
heaters.
The temperature of the hot water delivered
by the DHC depends on the wattage of the
heating element, the temperature of the
incoming cold water, and the water flow
rate through the unit. In order for the DHC
to operate properly, it must be carefully
matched to the application.
