EcoSmart is very specific about their product performance and requirements which is a great sign for the quality. On their website you can find a map highlighting the most appropriate purposing of their product depending on the region in the United States.

The water temperature in the area has a big influence on the performance of the water heater so make sure you cross-reference. This should tell you whether you can make do with a single unit for the entire house or need several units near the different faucets.

The company recommends this size for a small apartment or as a point-of-use water heater under the kitchen sink, for example. For larger households, you will likely need at least 2 units installed for the best performance.

On the main unit, you will find a digital temperature display that you can adjust with 1° increment using the turning knob. Only manual adjustment is available, there is no remote control.

Self-Modulating Feature

The biggest selling point of this model is its self-modulating feature which you won’t find in any other brand. This patented technology adjusts the energy use to how much water you are using which makes this an even more energy efficient design.

EcoSmart claims that replacing your old water heater with this technologically advanced one can save you up to 60% on running costs since it is rated as 99.8% efficient.

Tankless types are already known as being more energy efficient but many other brands hover around 95% energy efficiency, making this brand stand out from its competition.

Advantages of the EcoSmart Eco 11 Tankless Water Heater

All the standard advantages of using an electric tankless water heater apply to the Eco 11. For example, you get endless hot water with the right sizing, it lowers your electricity bills and there is little loss of energy.

However, with the self-modulating technology, the EcoSmart ranks even better than many other brands. So, even when it comes to the standard advantages, this product has an edge over its competition.

Its performance is also impressive. Although the company states 67° as its ideal groundwater temperature, it still functions well at much lower temperatures. For example, in colder climates up north it fits perfectly under the sink so you can have hot water whenever you need to wash your hands.

Its compact size is another big advantage. It is one of the smaller units available making it a versatile choice and easy to install anywhere.

Finally, this is a very affordable option which makes its performance even more impressive. At $200 and some change you get a lot of bang for your buck.

The Downside of the EcoSmart Eco 11 Tankless Water Heater

The size, which can work to your advantage, might also make this a less suitable option. With a flow rate of 2 gallons per minute, there are higher capacity options available, even from the same series.

If you have a larger home or household, you might need to install several units as point-of-use heaters, especially in colder climates. This means that the investment can increase considerably, especially when including the installation fee of a professional.

The professional installation is also essential for the warranty. Yes, it is a limited lifetime warranty that covers the heat exchanger, spare parts and electronics, but there are conditions so make sure that you read through the manual carefully beforehand.

The Verdict

Overall, the EcoSmart Eco 11 is a great option when you are looking for a compact point-of-use unit. It is energy efficient so you are still lowering your monthly bills even when installing several around the house.

It is also a budget friendly option for those living in warmer climates where this model is capable of handling two bathrooms or a single bathroom and two sinks simultaneously.

However, if you live in a colder climate or have a larger home, you might be interested in one of their larger models, like the Eco 27 or Eco 36, which has the same benefits.
