Professional installation recommended
AQM 2 tankless electric water heaters are designed to provide warm water around 100° F / 38° C for hand washing at 1 ultra-low flow sink
AQM 2 models require 120 volt electric service, 1 dedicated 20 amp breaker, 12 gauge copper wiring, and have 3/8" plumbing connections
AQM 2 models are shipped with a 0.32 gpm pressure compensating flow reducer/aerator that fits on most faucets and should be installed
The Nichrome (nickel-chromium) bare-wire heating element in all AQM Series models is controlled by a flow switch to prevent dry-firing and failure, and is additionally equipped with a safety high-limit with manual reset
AQM tankless point-of-use water heaters are 99% efficient, heating water instantaneously and endlessly and, unlike tank water heaters, have no stand-by energy losses
The temperature of the water delivered by an AQM tankless point-of-use water heater depends on the incoming cold water temperature, the water flow through the unit, and the size of the AQM model that is installed
AQM tankless point-of-use models excel at supplying water at a constant temperature but must be carefully matched to the flow rate of the sink being plumbed to operate properly
