4. Can I replace my electric storage water heater with a DHCE unit?

5. How far can I install the DHCE from the hot water outlets?
For the best results, install the DHCE close to your most-used hot water outlets. This helps save water and energy by delivering hot water quickly. It can service multiple outlets depending on the model and distance.
