EcoSmart
Long Hot Water Delivery Time
EcoSmart heater runs but hot water takes a very long time to reach fixtures.

Possible Causes
Long pipe runs from heater to fixtures, No recirculation system, Oversized piping, Low flow at fixtures
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No internal heater work is required.
- Understand layout: Measure the distance from the EcoSmart heater to the furthest fixture. Long runs naturally increase wait time.
- Insulate pipes: Insulate hot water piping to reduce heat loss and maintain temperature between uses.
- Consider recirculation: Install a hot water recirculation system compatible with tankless heaters, following EcoSmart guidelines.
- Point-of-use options: For distant fixtures, consider adding a small EcoSmart point-of-use heater closer to the demand.
