Why choose a tankless electric water heater?

Unlike traditional water heaters, tankless models like the Tempra 15 Trend heat water only when needed. This approach offers several advantages:

1. Energy savings: No heat loss associated with maintaining a tank’s water temperature.
2. Unlimited hot water: Meets continuous hot water needs, ideal for long or multiple showers.
3. Enhanced durability: Fewer components in contact with water reduce wear and corrosion.
4. Space-saving: Compact design suitable for homes or condos with limited space.

Application and capacity: Is this the right choice for you?

The Tempra 15 Trend is designed to supply 1 to 1.5 bathrooms in warm climates or one bathroom in colder climates. This makes it an ideal solution for:

• Apartments or condos for 2 to 3 people.
• Cottages or secondary residences.
• Homes in regions with moderate incoming water temperatures.

To determine if this model suits your situation, consult the size guide provided by Stiebel Eltron. This guide helps you select the appropriate model based on the required water flow rate and the temperature of incoming cold water.

Installation: What you need to know

For a successful installation, certain technical requirements must be met:

• Minimum electrical supply: 200 amps.
• Breakers: Two 40-amp double-pole breakers or two 30-amp double-pole breakers, depending on configuration.
• Copper wiring: Use gauge #8 or #10 cables depending on the breakers.
• Indoor location: The water heater must be installed indoors, protected from extreme temperatures.

We strongly recommend hiring a certified electrician to ensure a compliant and safe installation.

Maintenance and durability

With an impressive warranty of 7 years against leaks and 3 years on parts, the Tempra 15 Trend offers peace of mind. However, minimal maintenance is necessary to maximize its lifespan:

• Regularly clean the filters to avoid blockages.
• Periodically inspect electrical connections for optimal performance.
• Avoid setting the temperature to the maximum to extend the life of internal components.
