FLOW REGULATOR OPTIONAL
To ensure the optimal temperature output and overall performance of your tankless water heater you may
require a flow regulator. These flow regulators are installed on the outlet connection of your tankless water
heater and limit the maximum volume coming out of your unit to a specified flow rate to prevent the exit
temperature from becoming too cool. To learn more about flow regulators or find out how to purchase one for
your tankless water heater visit us online at EcoSmartUS.com or contact us at 1-877-474-6473.
Steps for Choosing a Flow Regulator
1. Find your model in the chart on the left
2. Choose the column with the inlet water temperature closest to your geographical location
3. Take the GPM or gallons per minute you find and match it with the corresponding flow regulator on the
right
