Description: Eemax SPEX3012 FlowCo™ Non‑Thermostatic Point‑of‑Use Tankless Electric Water Heater
The Eemax FlowCo™ SPEX3012 delivers endless hot water right at the faucet, eliminating storage tanks, standby heat loss, and wasted energy. It activates only when water is flowing—achieving up to 99% energy efficiency—with a flow switch that ensures on-demand heating. Ideal for applications such as handwashing sinks, kitchen and bar setups, and utility fixtures, this compact unit mounts directly to the wall using a single-cold-water-line design. Its tankless construction helps reduce calcification, sediment buildup, and Legionella growth from standing water.

How It Works
-
Demand-Driven Heating
Water flow triggers the heater’s nichrome cartridge, heating instantly—no standby energy waste. -
Flexible Mounting
Omnidirectional installation allows mounting in any orientation, fitting into tight spaces and ADA-compliant setups. -
Intelligent Safety Controls
Includes InfoCue™ LED status indicators, SafeStart™ to prevent dry-fire incidents, and self-diagnostic mechanisms for protection. -
Connects to one cold-water line via 3/8″ compression fitting—no soldering, no T&P valve needed (subject to code)
