Eco Global Infra-Red Tankless Hot Water Generator

Product Review

The Eco Global Infra-Red Tankless Hot Water Generator (EC-THWG) is a fully automatic modulating on-demand Tankless Hot Water heater utilizing Quartz FAR Infra-Red Heating Elements.

The use of quartz, as opposed to copper or other metals, eliminates the potential for corrosion and deterioration of thermal properties. The EC-THWG combines the use of both FAR Infrared Technology and the latest intelligent PID Temperature Controller technology to efficiently heat water on demand, while also conditioning water effectively against hard water deposits.

Unlike a conventional tank-type hot water heater, the EC-THWG does not store water. It contains multiple high powered quartz heating tube elements capable of heating water "on-demand" and continuously as needed.

By producing hot water on demand, as opposed to maintaining a large supply of hot water at all times, as is the case with conventional hot water heaters, Eco Global Infra-Red Tankless Hot Water Generator results in significantly higher energy and/or fuel efficiency.
