Control temperature simply by setting a dial

Set the temperature knob on the front cover, and enjoy water between 86–140 °F (30–60 °C). Change the desired temperature at any time. Purchasing a remote selector control is not necessary. Advanced microprocessor technology ensures that the water temperature doesn't deviate from the set point even if flow varies.


🏢 Versatile Applications

DHC-E Classic can deliver hot water to a single sink, multiple sinks, or in certain conditions, low-flow showerheads.
