Running out of hot water during back-to-back showers? Tired of waiting for your water heater to recover before someone else can use hot water? If your household regularly runs short, you might assume it’s time to replace your water heater with a larger model. However, there’s another solution that may help you get more hot water from your existing tank: an Eemax Booster, a compact device that can extend your available hot water supply without replacing a perfectly functional water heater.
Why Does Your Hot Water Run Out So Quickly?
Traditional tank water heaters store a limited amount of heated water. As you shower, wash dishes, or run appliances, hot water leaves the tank and is replaced by cold water that must be heated.
When your household uses hot water faster than the tank can recover, the water temperature starts dropping. This becomes especially noticeable during busy mornings when multiple family members need showers.
If your water heater is operating properly but struggling to meet your household’s demand, an Eemax Booster may be a practical alternative to installing a larger tank.
How Does an Eemax Hot Water Booster Work?
An Eemax Booster is a compact electric heating device that works alongside your existing water heater to extend the amount of usable hot water available. Here’s how it works:
- Your water heater supplies hot water: Heated water flows from the tank toward your faucets, showers, and appliances.
- The booster monitors water temperature: As hot water is used and the tank’s output temperature drops, the booster detects the change.
- Additional heat is provided: The booster activates to help maintain the desired water temperature as water flows through it.
- Your hot water lasts longer: By supplementing the tank’s heating capacity, the booster helps deliver more usable hot water before temperatures become uncomfortable.
Because the booster adds heat when needed, it can help extend hot showers and reduce the frustration of running out of hot water during periods of increased household demand.
Can You Add a Booster to Your Existing Water Heater?
One of the biggest advantages of an Eemax Booster is its flexibility. It can be installed on compatible existing water heaters or added when installing a new tank.
Eemax Boosters work with both gas and electric tank water heaters, although electrical requirements vary depending on the installation.
A booster may be especially useful for households experiencing:
- Hot water shortages during consecutive showers
- Increased hot water demand from growing families
- Long waits between showers while the tank recovers
- Limited space for installing a larger water heater
However, a booster isn’t a substitute for repairing a malfunctioning or deteriorating tank. Our Peaden Pros can evaluate your existing equipment and determine whether adding a booster makes sense.
Professional Eemax Booster Installation From Peaden
When installing an Eemax Booster, our Peaden Pros inspect your water heater, valves, and applicable venting, along with the available electrical connections. We’ll recommend an appropriate setup, install the necessary connections and shutoffs, configure safe operating temperatures, and thoroughly test the equipment to verify proper operation.
