Holding Capacity for Bosch Tronic 3000T ES8

The Bosch Tronic 3000T ES8 is a mini tank heater and is not tankless.  The Bosch ES8 is used for point of use like under kitchen sink, bathroom sink, RV's etc..  The Bosch ES8 is not recommended for a shower as it is a mini tank and will go cold after a few minutes.  Some people do use them in RV's for a shower but will only last for 4-5 minutes then hot water will run out.

The Bosch ES8 can be hooked up to the water plumbing lines 2 different ways.  If the Bosch ES is hooked up with the water connection pipes coming out of the top of the unit vertical the unit will deliver around 7.0 gallons of hot water due to the way the piping inside the unit is.

If the Bosch Tronic 3000T ES8 is hooked up with the water pipe coming out the right side horizontal then the Bosch ES8 will produce around 5.1 gallons of hot water before going cold.

These same specifications and holding capacities also pertain to the Bosch models GL6+, GL6+S, GL8Ti and GL8TiS.

Timers for Ariston Mini-Tank Water Heaters

Globaltowne now has timers for the Ariston Mini-Tank water heaters.  Call to order - 888-726-9752

By using a 24 hour or 7 day timer you can save money by turning off the water heater during times when you are sleeping or not at home.  The Ariston's take from 15 to 30 minutes to heat up.  Set the timer to turn off the heater at a time when no one will require hot water, then set the timer to turn the heater back on 15 to 30 minutes before hot water is needed.  The 24 hour or 7 day timer can handle up to 15 amps and has a three prong 120 volt plug.  The 24 hour timer can be set for up to 24 on or off times per day.  The 7 day timer can be set for up to 6 on or off times per day.

To Install, plug the timer into a standard outlet or GFCI protected outlet and then plug the heater into the socket on the timer.  Use the tabs to set the times on the timer for the on and off cycles.  Now your heater will not be using power when it is not necessary.
