Company Overview

Since 1966, Chronomite Laboratories Inc. has been the innovative leader in providing solutions for commercial and industrial tankless plumbing applications. In 1992, Chronomite Laboratories Inc. patented the first microprocessor controlled tankless water heater providing unlimited hot water simultaneously to multiple lavatories with one heater. Utilizing state of the art technology, the microprocessor meets the users demands for superior performance with accurately determined preset output temperatures, while being efficient and at the same time cost affordable. Chronomite’s Microprocessor technology paved the way for solutions that are vital to today’s engineer.

The Evolution of Chronomite’s Tankless Heat

In 1967, a major project addressing energy efficiency resulted in the invention of very small water heaters. The challenge: how could remote commercial and industrial locations have access to usable hot water for hand-washing? Chronomite tankless electric water heaters used electricity to create hot water as close to the point of use as possible. A conventional tank heater in these applications was expensive and oftentimes hot water would become cold again by the time it arrived.

Chronomite’s first challenge was to heat the water right where it was needed and only when needed. Unlike conventional water heaters with storage tanks, Chronomite did not require costly valving and piping, and was faster to install—a benefit to contractors piping hot water to hard-to-reach areas. Chronomite’s energy efficient tankless heater reduces installation costs and water waste at the same time.

In the ’60s, America’s water use was still high-flow and unrestricted—faucets could use as much as 3.0 gallons per minute as opposed to the low-flow 0.5 gpm used today. As Chronomite grew and increased its applications in the ’70s, however, engineering was already logically looking at reducing the amount of water used. As part of the Chronomite equation, distance travelled and delivery time are minimized. But even then, Chronomite maintained that flow rate was as important in the efficiency equation, too. The flow rate could be reduced while still producing a precise heat to water without sacrificing pressure.

Taking a cue from European plumbing innovators, Chronomite implemented the Omni aerator alongside its instantaneous water heaters. Omni would reduce the amount of water used and boost Chronomite’s heat efficiency, making it an eco-friendly product even before the metering faucet or low-flow faucet became popular.

Nevertheless, waiting for hot water is still one of the largest wastes of water. Recognizing this, Chronomite set out in the late ’90s to manufacture the same convenient and eco-friendly product using a more affordable technology. Chronomite was the first to patent a microprocessor technology that is 99 percent energy efficient and delivers instant, unlimited hot water. This technology also protects against scalding by moderating energy and controls output temperature, so water is delivered at a consistent, pre-set temperature.

Today, Chronomite has evolved from a simple problem-solution scenario into a sustainable, safe, and efficient product for supplying hot water to the most challenging of locations.

Tankless Water Heaters - 99% Energy Efficient

CHRONOMITE® tankless electric water heaters are engineered with a specific intent in mind—to provide instant, on-demand hot water, offering eco-friendly, cost-saving gains.

Chronomite was the first to patent a microprocessor technology which allows for a pre-set or controlled output temperature that delivers unlimited hot water without risk of scalding—in two seconds as opposed to the six seconds offered by other tankless water heaters. Chronomite is installed at point of use and is only operational when hot water is requested, thus dramatically reducing hot water delivery time and inefficient use of electricity.

Greater efficiency means less water and energy use, which is 99 percent energy efficient compared to conventional tank water heaters. The compact, easy-to install unit provides endless solutions to projects with limited space and access. At only the size of a standard dictionary, Chronomite tankless water heaters are well hidden for aesthetic appeal, and easily placed within a specially designed compartment underneath hand washing systems and basins. Chronomite also integrates energy and water conservation with cost savings and many features which contribute to a safer environment. With Chronomite, gas leaks are eliminated, and the flow through abrasive action of water creates a self-cleaning feature, eliminating alkali and calcification buildup, reducing the risk of tank corrosion and flooding and resulting in lower maintenance and operational costs.
