The Ariston 12 Gallon point of use electric water heater is ideal for providing stored hot water right at the point of use. These models can be installed in locations where it is not practical to run long hot water pipes, such as under counters, in cabinets, or in other confined areas. It can be used in standalone applications as the only water source, or as a booster to your primary water heating system. This mini tank is perfect for smaller properties, including in-law suites, kitchenettes, pool houses and garages, and can even be used for commercial applications like stores, offices, and bathrooms. The Dura-Glass enameled tank can withstand high temperatures which allows long term usage.
