ELECTRIC TANKLESS WATER HEATERS BOOSTPROFITS FOR FOODSERVICE RESTAURANTS
DON’T RISK IT!
Whether you own and operate a full service fine dining restaurant in the largest cities in the world, or a
quick service trailer at your local county fair, hot water is at the essence of food service. Running out of hot
water or not meeting necessary temperature can be troublesome for a restaurant. Not only is it required for
cooking, it is also required by code:
- Hand washing in the kitchen or in restrooms requires 105°F*
- Food Preparation areas – including the sinks are typically 120°F*
- Sanitation requirements for dishwashing or other wash downs are 140°F up to 180°F *
*please check local or state requirements.
When opening a new store, or due to a random site visit by a health inspector; should any application not meet
national or local codes, the establishment runs the risk of being shut down, and essentially be out of business
till the problems is fixed. And that is cutting into profits! Potential cost risks include:
- Dirty or unsanitary dishes – bacteria growth – food borne illnesses
- Bad reviews - damaged reputation - loss of customers – loss of income
- Health code violations and shut downs – public record - loss of permits – loss of business
Permit holders are responsible for meeting all codes. The HHS and USDA are continually taking progressive
steps in food safety, and are committed to reducing the incidence of foodborne illness in the United States.
Electric tankless water heaters are a perfect solution to any and all hot water requirements, and the vast array
of models and configurations Eemax offers makes code compliance easy and ensure that you can count on
endless hot water when you need it.
Eemax heaters provide many benefits:
Common Problems and Solutions
Below are a few common scenarios in the foodservice industry where Eemax electric tankless water heaters
ensure code compliance or meet hot water needs.
(CONT.)
HOT WATER RUNS OUT For many restaurants, getting hot water is not a problem
- except during peak times, when restaurants often use
more hot water than the tank water heater can heat. Two
things may be responsible for that: One, water in the tank
has is colder on the top, a phenomenon called
stratification, which may leave the restaurant subjected to
inconsistent water temperatures. The other is simply
running out of hot water, because the tank will require a
long time to recover and bring the water back up to the
desired temperature.
In both cases, install an Eemax water heater right after
your primary system, and the Eemax will only activate
when needed. Choosing the correct unit will allow you to
run efficiently and effective while knowing you will
always be able to supply your required hot water even if
your current system completely fails.
Eemax solutions for this scenario:
Complete establishment booster
Eemax SpecAdvantage
WATER DOESN’T REACH DESIRED TEMPERATURE When hot water demand is up, and the existing
infrastructure cannot handle the additional hot water
requirements, because it was never designed to, install an
Eemax water heater on the hot water line for key
applications and boost the water temperature up to
180°F.
Eemax solutions for this scenario:
Dishwashers
Eemax SpecAdvantage and Three phase series
Glass and utensil washers
Eemax Series two and three phase series
Hand washing
Eemax Accumix and thermostatic series
WATER TAKES TOO LONG TO REACH DESIRED TEMPERATURE
When the point of use for hot water is too far from the
installed water heater, and it takes too long to get the
water up to temperature. This is a common issue in many
restrooms. And rather than running more water until you
get warm water, install a point of use electric tankless
water heater. Eemax products are sophisticated enough
to recognize the incoming and outgoing temperature and
will react accordingly to provide the water at the desired
temperature on demand. Once your primary hot water
heater finally delivers the set temperature, the Eemax
water heater will turn off.
Eemax solutions for this scenario:
Single point hand washing
Eemax Accumix, thermostatic or mini-tank series
Multiple hand washing stations (grouped close)
Eemax Accumix, Mini tanks or any ML specified series
Food Prep or three compartment sinks
Eemax Series Two, Three phase, and
SpecAdvantage series
Dishwasher
Eemax SpecAdvantage, Three phase series
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The installation of the right Eemax electric tankless
water heater is obviously dependent on the existing
electrical infrastructure.
On some occasions, there may not enough power
available where it is needed. But there are other
options to consider that may require less power:
Pre-Tank Booster
Consider a pre-tank heating system to your current tank
to increase the longevity of your existing tank and
decrease the recovery time, expanding your hot water
capacity
Recirculation Setup
Design a hot water system with pumps, timers and aqua
stats powered by an Eemax electric tankless water heater.
Point of use Mini-tank
Often used as a remodel option, when available power is
limited to 120V outlets.

EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
BELLISSIMO’S PIZZERIA, NAUGATUCK CT.
PROBLEM
Business is up – a good problem to have, but the tank heater that is installed
cannot handle the hot water needs during peak hours. Another problem is space.
To install a larger tank you would have had to renovate the space and lose some
key storage or seating area. And as if that wasn’t enough, the existing tank runs
on gas and a bigger tank would require for the venting to be enlarged as well.
Hava, the owner, couldn’t be more thrilled with the results: “Ever since we
installed the Eemax water heater as a booster I haven’t had to worry
about running out of hot water. It is just one less thing I have to stress
about when things around here get busy.”
Another benefit to the install of the Eemax heater as a booster is that even
with the increased hot water demand, health code compliance is ensured
100% of the time.
SOLUTION
Eemax PHD SpecAdvantage AP036480 Eemax PhD heater was
installed to be a booster for a tank that was in need of an
upgrade.
Key Specs: 36kW 480V 43 amps
62°F degree rise at 4.0 gpm
(CONT.)
EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
ROTI MEDITERRANEAN GRILL – EAST 43RD STREET, NYC
PROBLEM
In NYC space is a premium. Tight on space and time, the owner was looking for a reliable source of endless hot water that would
stand up to the heavy traffic expected in this prime location.
Along with a huge crowd and some of the most stringent health codes, Roti Mediterranean Grill knew they needed to insure
compliance to codes, no matter what time of the day, or night - and a required size tank heater would take up too much space.
“Being the store manager I have to understand the working and ins and outs of
everything in my restaurant. Being new to this type of system there was a bit
of a learning curve, however with that aside, I can tell you, as an operator of a
busy NYC food establishment, we have unlimited hot water, from 6am, till
11pm, every day of the year”
SOLUTION
Eemax Series Six ED036480T24T was install in series with a small storage tank
without heating capacity. The recirculation system was designed with timers and
aqua stats. This energy efficient set up allows for minimal energy usage during low
demand times, and enough power to withstand the rigors of heavy hot water use.
Key Specs: 36kW 480V 43 amps
62°F degree rise at 4.0 gpm
