Vitotherm electric instantaneous water heater
Domestic hot water is needed all year round in this country, whether for a shower in the morning or for washing hands and feet. It can be produced with an electronic instantaneous water heater such as the Vitotherm EI4 comfort instantaneous water heater. Appliances of this size –– including the Vitotherm E15 –– are small in terms of performance but the ideal solution for a guest toilet due to their extremely compact dimensions.
If a little more output is required, instantaneous water heaters for the kitchen such as the Vitotherm EI3 and Vitotherm EI4 are worth considering. Thanks to their minimal installed depth, they also fit under the sink. They reliably heat the tap water to the required temperature instantly, with total precision.
Benefits of electric instantaneous water heaters
In most cases, instantaneous water heaters run on electricity, which is already available. For the owner, this means easy installation on the one hand and quick commissioning on the other. In addition, only the water that is actually required is heated. This saves both energy and water. A further distinguishing feature of electric instantaneous water heaters is their virtually maintenance-free operation. This ensures DHW heating for years to come. If instantaneous water heaters are operated electronically, there are even more advantages.
Electronic instantaneous water heaters for different applications
From hydraulically controlled mini instantaneous water heaters to fully electronic instantaneous water heaters: These appliances are available in a wide variety of types. They include comfort instantaneous water heaters for fast and efficient provision of domestic hot water, such as the Vitotherm EI2. This model offers multiple functions, including child lock, automatic water volume control and wellness shower programs.
With a minimal installed depth, yet sufficient rated output, comfort appliances such as the Vitotherm EI4 and Vitotherm EI6 can be used anywhere. In rooms with a very low DHW demand, such as guest toilets, a mini instantaneous water heater such as the Vitotherm EI5 is the appliance of choice.

Product overview
Below you will find a selection of the Vitotherm product range with the relevant key data. Further information on the individual products is also available in the Electric heating systems brochure (PDF, 656 KB) and in the datasheets in our ViBooks database.
Vitotherm EI2 – fully electronic with colour display and 4S function
The fully electronic Vitotherm EI2 instantaneous water heater offers excellent DHW convenience. The appliance is designed for outputs of 18, 21 and 24 kW. A processor-controlled motorised valve provides accurate, constant water temperature (30 to 60 °C) at the maximum flow rate.
The 4S function includes an inlet and outlet temperature sensor, flow sensor for continuous automatic output adjustment and a motorised valve. It also features wellness shower programs, eco functions, programmable memory functions and automatic water volume control.
The multifunction display shows the temperature, flow rate, energy consumption and time. If the water temperature exceeds 42 °C, the display illumination changes from blue to red as a warning that the water is too hot. The child lock function, which takes effect at 43 °C, prevents unintentional adjustments. Electronic air bubble detection ensures consistently high DHW convenience. The energy consumption and volume of water can be read from the consumption display.
