Tired of waiting for hot water? Frustrated with lukewarm showers and running out of hot water mid-wash? The CRAFTSMAN CMXTEPA0018 electric tankless water heater is here to revolutionize your home’s hot water system. This compact and powerful unit provides endless hot water on demand, eliminating the frustrations of traditional tank water heaters while saving you energy and valuable space.

Overview

The CRAFTSMAN CMXTEPA0018 is an 18kW electric tankless water heater designed for 1-1.5 bathrooms in warm to hot climates. It utilizes advanced “on-demand” technology, heating water instantly as it flows through the unit, eliminating the need for a bulky storage tank. This means no more standby heat loss and no more running out of hot water.

Design Philosophy - Space-Saving and Efficient

The CRAFTSMAN CMXTEPA0018 embodies a design philosophy centered around maximizing efficiency and minimizing space requirements. Traditional tank water heaters are notorious for their large footprints and energy waste from constantly heating a large volume of water. This tankless model, however, eliminates those drawbacks with its compact design and on-demand heating system.

18kW Heating Power

The 18kW heating power of this unit is ideal for supplying hot water to 1-1.5 bathrooms in warm climates. This means it can comfortably handle the demands of a typical household with showers, sinks, and other appliances. However, it’s important to note that in colder climates, this unit may be best suited for a single bathroom. This is because colder incoming water requires more energy to heat to the desired temperature.

Digital Control Panel

The digital control panel is a user-friendly interface that allows for precise temperature control. You can easily adjust the water temperature in 1-degree increments, ensuring a comfortable experience for everyone in the household. This level of control is a significant advantage over traditional tank water heaters, which often have limited temperature settings.

Compact and Space-Saving Design

One of the standout features of this unit is its compact size. This makes it ideal for homes with limited space, allowing for flexible installation in various locations such as under sinks, in closets, or on walls. This space-saving design is a major advantage over bulky tank water heaters, which can take up valuable floor space.

Energy-Efficient, On-Demand Heating

The CMXTEPA0018 utilizes on-demand heating technology, which means it only heats water when you need it. This eliminates the energy waste associated with traditional tank water heaters that continuously heat and reheat a large volume of water, even when not in use. This on-demand system can result in significant energy savings, lowering your utility bills and reducing your environmental impact.

Stainless Steel Construction

This water heater is built with durable stainless steel components, ensuring long-term reliability and resistance to corrosion. This is particularly important for appliances that deal with water, as corrosion can lead to leaks and premature failure. The stainless steel construction provides peace of mind knowing that your investment is protected.

Easy Installation and Maintenance

While professional installation is recommended, the CMXTEPA0018 is designed for relatively easy installation and maintenance. The unit comes with clear instructions and standard 1/2 inch NPT fittings for straightforward plumbing connections. Regular maintenance is minimal, primarily involving occasional flushing to remove mineral deposits, which can be easily done by following the provided instructions.

Advanced Self-Modulating Technology

This water heater incorporates advanced self-modulating technology, which automatically adjusts the energy output based on the incoming water temperature and flow rate. This ensures optimal energy efficiency and consistent water temperature, even with fluctuating demands. This intelligent technology contributes to both comfort and cost savings.

Non-Corrosive and Lead-Free

The CMXTEPA0018 is constructed with non-corrosive and lead-free materials, ensuring the safety and purity of your water supply. This is particularly important for families with young children or those concerned about water quality. The use of lead-free materials aligns with health and safety standards, providing peace of mind.
