Review: Excellent Product, Unmatched Quality at a very reasonable price ***One year update - The Good As for the item itself I would only suggest that the purchaser make sure they have sized the unit correctly for their needs and have taken their area's ground water temp into account. The unit has a sublimely simple design and its shell is both space efficient and cosmetically pleasing. Unlimited hot water is a decadent luxury and Ecosmart makes it affordable to all. My lady is finally able to take her time wash and shave without ever running out of hot water (yikes for my water consumption). Regarding water consumption I'v found that this unit works amazingly well with the "Spa Fire-Hydrant" shower head, Economy and Performance. The Bad This pertains to the install process and NOT the unit. -- The plumbing is very straight forward and should be doable by a moderately experienced DIY'er with basic plumbing tools and a little soldering know-how. The electrical work is also not very difficult, BUT requires two Double-Pole 40-Amp Breakers and sufficient sized service to handle the unit (which is actually comparatively large). But if you've got the space or are willing to upgrade your electric service, this item is a must-have. Final Warning The large cost for this unit will come from the install by licensed professionals without which you cannot quality for the lifetime Warranty, My advice (if you are not planning to install yourself) would be to get quotes for the install (both plumbing and electrical) and compare those numbers to the cost of the unit if you end up paying more for the install than the unit is worth you might be better off forgoing the warranty because if you do have a problem it would still be cheaper to by a replacement unit. ***One year Update I've had this unit for a year now and recently blew a heating element, (an issue caused by a plumbing change and NOT the unit itself). I only bring it up because its a bit of a pain to have to order a replacement from Eco-Smart since no other place I found (Even desertcart!**(CAN be purchased on desertcart now)) carries this odd element size (9kW 240v Screw-In). So I would suggest having a spare on hand to avoid the shipping time wait if it becomes necessary. Also having seen first-hand what kind of scale and build-up can occur at tragic speeds on the heating elements, do yourself a favor and drop the extra $65 on the recommend 'Aqua-pure' scale inhibitor. Most users can only tell you that it seems to work having nothing to compare it against. I have seen both sides and it makes a world of difference! Aside from that, I am Extremely happy with this purchase, there is no going back in my household, Even with my girlfriend's new 45-minute long shower ritual (compared to the 25ish she use to get), I have seen a consistent 20-30% electric consumption drop when compared to the two years proceeding it. So my unit will have paid for itself after another year of usage. If your experience is anything like mine you will NOT be disappointed with this unit, so I'd say buy with confidence ***5-year Update At the 5 year mark, I have been through 2 heating elements (since installed) and always keep 2 on hand to be prepared. I am positive that the unit has paid for itself at least twice and is still working strong. There is absolutely no going back to a standard tanked unit. Until a recent trip out of town in a hotel shower, I'd completely forgot about running out of hot water. The moment this unit breaks I'm replacing it with an identical unit. (A decision made over 2 years ago) every home owner should have one of these units. Save space, save money, and enjoy your unlimited hot water as a bonus for your wonderful investment! *** 10-year update, Just blew another heating element (5 in total now after a decade), and they are now available for purchase on desertcart! My unit is STILL running strong and my girlfriend has built her own home and installed an Eco27 (As I mentioned, once you've experienced unlimited hot water there's no going back). This device has already well exceeded my expectations and I'm overjoyed to give an amazing review. Love this product and WILL buy again in the home I'm planning to build. Review: Very Happy with Ecosmart ECO 18 - I purchased the ECOsmart ECO 18 tankless water heater in April from desertcart during one of their open box warehouse sales for a very cheap price. The unit arrived as a wreck (as I expected it would). After beating out the smashed in cover (from improper shipping packaging) I inspected the inner workings, and found several parts ajar, and the cold water inlet fitting missing. desertcart offered an additional discount to me, so I took it, and set out to fix the unit, and replace the missing part. The cold inlet fitting has a one of a kind unique fitting threads, and I quickly found out that it’s irreplaceable. A call to Ecosmart tech support was personally and professionally handled. The tech told me that this part is not available. He then went into their spare parts junk drawer, found one used, and sent it to me for next to nothing. I couldn’t be happier with Ecosmarts service! The unit sat for 4 months until I had time to install it myself. I wanted to be sure it worked before gutting out my perfectly good water heater, so this report is what I found by permanently wiring, but temporarily plumbing the unit so as to not disturb the existing water heater. First of all, I live in South Florida (Broward County). Our water is fairly warm as supplied (70 Deg. Inlet temperatures in summer). I can only report how the unit worked with reasonably warm inlet temperatures. I’ve lived in the past in places where the water is 50 Deg. Year round coming out of the tap (NE Ohio), so I know I’m living in ideal conditions for a tankless electric water heater set up. I can report the following: I measured my normal shower water temperature. I like a hot shower. Using a lab quality thermometer, I find a water temperature of 95 to 98 Degrees is pretty darn hot. Maybe not hot enough to thaw out a frozen Ohio Linesmen, or firefighter with ice frozen to your face, but plenty hot for normal humans. I have the ECosmart 18 because electrically, my house only has 150 amp service. Larger Ecosmart units would overload my supply service. As tested, a 5 GPM flow (That’s enough for two old fashioned shower heads AND a sink running hot, the outlet hot water as measured was 115 degrees. This is with the unit set as high as it will go (140 Degrees). The unit will maintain a 45 degree water temp increase over inlet temperature. Testing at a flow rate of 2.5 Gallons per min.(enough for an old fashioned shower head and a sink), the unit maintained 135 deg. With the temp set at 140. My unit had no problem maintaining 115 deg. output if set at 120 deg. With a flow rate of 2.5 gallons a minute. In testing, I found a constant 5 degree error between what the unit says the set temperature is, and actual. Not bad considering it’s not an aerospace product, and some small gauge error is possible. The hot water tank I’m replacing is a 65 gallon unit, and IT DOES flicker the house lights every time a heating element turns on. (Noticeably annoying). I am super happy to report that the Ecosmart 18 unit does not flicker my house lighting. If you look very carefully, a very, very slight, teeny, weeinee load can be seen in the interior lighting of the house when the Ecosmart unit turns on, but it’s MUCH better than my existing standard tank type water heater. The ECO 18 turns on with very little water flow (a sink just turned on enough to wet a tooth brush will trigger it to heat the water) so flow sensing is perfect, and not a factor at all. My overall opinion is that yes, the unit is delicate, and is prone to damage in shipping. Once placed in service, it’s rugged enough to last a long time, and it works better than advertised. If you are in very cold water climate, you will need the biggest unit, and adequate power supply. Ecosmart lists what the unit will actually do modestly. If you read up on the specifications for each of their units, and match your water need and water temperature and follow the installation instructions you will never be disappointed by purchasing an Ecosmart unit. These things are great! Do your homework before you buy, and match it properly, you won’t be disappointed! Removing that old tank water heater and replacing it with the Ecosmart gave me a whole lot more room in my garage, as an added benefit too! ## Features - Configured for climates where incoming water temperature is 62 degrees F and above. - Capable of heating over 2.5 gpm. - Digital temperature control allows temperature settings in 1 degree increments. - Voltage: 240 - Single phase ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0047V0KSU | | Best Sellers Rank | #62,671 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #62 in Water Heaters | | Brand | EcoSmart | | Brand Name | EcoSmart | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 2,428 Reviews | | Efficiency | 99.8 % | | Flow Rate | 3.51 Gallons Per Minute | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00854920002046 | | Heat Output | 18 Kilowatts | | Included Components | electric tankless water heater | | Is Electric | Yes | | Item Dimensions W x H | 14"W x 17"H | | Item Type Name | Electric Tankless Water Heater | | Item Weight | 11.7 Pounds | | Manufacturer | EcoSmart Green Energy Products | | Manufacturer Part Number | ECO 18 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Lifetime Warranty on electronics, exchanger and element.

We will supply two bathrooms, dish washer, clothes washer. What size should I choose?** A: I noted someone below stating they got the largest one and they can only run one water source at a time. My guess is they installed it wrong by not getting the electric hooked up right, or maybe the unit was just defective, or they live in Alaska. I went under size with an Eco 27 a few years ago because that’s all my electric panel could handle. We have zero issues in the summer. During winter months we can only run one shower at a time and have to slowly fill a tub (maybe 3/4 fill speed). To save as much money as I am on electric bill and have unlimited shower lengths (only 1 person at a time mid-Dec to mid-March) is totally worth it. On here today because I’m thinking of upping my panel size so was thinking of going with a larger one now. Regardless, CCRC’s experience with the largest unit not working is nothing like the experience I’ve had, and again I intentionally undersized mine for the house. The website has a clear chart to explain size you need based on number of water fixtures in your home and ground water temperature. **Q: My inlet temp is 44 degrees. I'm only concerned with using one shower. Will this supply 105 degrees at 1.75 GPM's?** A: My water heater receives a cold water supply of about 40 degrees, than produces HOT water @ about 140, depending on the distance between the heater and the shower (travel time) you should do fine. **Q: Just to be certain, please confirm if this is a whole house water heater. Can I simply remove my current 50 gal water heater and install this?** A: We installed this last July and have been very happy with it. We have a small house of about 1000 square feet and 2 people and my daughter coming by every week with lots of laundry. We have had no problems what so ever. **Q: I just bought the ECO 18. I was prepared to have a double 40A breaker installed, but the instructions say I need TWO double pole 40A. Is that correct?** A: The ECO-18 requires two seperate circuits therefore two 40A breakers. We love ours, infact we just bought a second one for the hot tub. Sure saves on the electric bill. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Product, Unmatched Quality at a very reasonable price ***One year update *by I***T on April 2, 2014* The Good As for the item itself I would only suggest that the purchaser make sure they have sized the unit correctly for their needs and have taken their area's ground water temp into account.

Removing that old tank water heater and replacing it with the Ecosmart gave me a whole lot more room in my garage, as an added benefit too! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ecosmart 18, a winner! *by A***T on October 25, 2025* The Eco 18 has been working great the few years I have had it: Never run out of hot water! Easy install! (Recommend having some experience) Small size! No lugging water heater to basement. I replaced my 30 year old gas water heater with the Ecosmart 18 after it started leaking. My eventual goal is to switch my house completely to electric appliances, so the furnace is the only one I am still running on gas. I haven't seen my electric bill change drastically from this, and my gas bill definitely went down some especially in the summer. In my case I live alone in the Midwest and the only thing I use hot water for is showers and my dishwasher. If you don't know the GPM flow of your shower head, get 5 gallon bucket or other container that you know the volume of and time the fill-up to figure out your needs, then use the chart to determine model. I did try using the Eco18 with my clothes washer and got an error that flow was too high, so if I did ever decide to use hot water for clothes washing I could put a reducer and the washer would just take longer to fill up. If I did ever have more people living with me I might need to get a more powerful model. As for electrical, they recommend using a 200amp or bigger service to run the required two 40amp breakers to power the water heater. In my case, since I don't use the electric oven (50amp) while I take a shower, I am actually doing just fine running it off my 100amp home service. You just need to be aware of what your total electric needs are and plan accordingly. In my case, the water heater could draw 70 amps and the dryer or air conditioner would add another 10 to 15 amp to that, still coming in below 100amps. Again, if I were to have other people living with me I would probably like to have more power available for that plus a more powerful unit. Eventually I plan to upgrade my home to 200amp service, when I replace my gas furnace with a whole house heat pump. Because I have experience with plumbing and electrical I was able to save a sizable amount by making a DIY project of this. As some other reviews have suggested, I keep a few spare heating elements on hand. Highly recommend, would do it again in a heartbeat! ## Frequently Bought Together - EcoSmart ECO 18 Electric Tankless Water Heater, 18 KW at 240 Volts with Patented Self Modulating Technology , 17 x 14 x 3.5, White - HYDRO MASTER Tankless Water Heater Service Valve Kit with Pressure Relief Valve 3/4-Inch IPS Isolator Clean Brass - Waterdrop AP431 AP430SS Whole House Scale Inhibitor Filter, Heater Softener System, Prevent Scale Build Up On Hot Water Heaters, Pipes and Boilers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/5802991-eco-18](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/5802991-eco-18) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
