Hatco Compact / Imperial Water Heater Booster

Benefits

* High-Temperature Sanitizing: Boosts standard hot water (typically 120°F or 140°F) up to a 180°F (82°C) final sanitizing rinse to satisfy commercial dishwashing codes and flash-dry tableware.
* Castone Lined Tank: Heavy-duty internal tank is lined with a non-corrosive cementitious material (Castone) for maximum thermal insulation and corrosion resistance.
* Complete Integrated Controls: Factory pre-plumbed and pre-wired with an adjustable immersion thermostat, high-temperature limit safety switch, and low-water cut-off to protect elements from burnout.
* Built-In Heat Trap & Insulation: Wrapped in dense fiberglass insulation with built-in heat traps to minimize heat loss during idle periods.
* Compact Placement Versatility: Features a front-accessible panel with a powder-coated body and stainless steel front plate, designed to fit cleanly under dishtables or on floor mounting legs.

New & Used Cost

* New Cost: Typically ranges between $2,500 and $4,200 depending on the kilowatt rating (e.g., 6 kW to 18 kW Compact C-Series) and phase/voltage configuration.
* Used / Refurbished Cost: Typically ranges between $500 and $1,200 depending on element condition, tank integrity, scale/liming build-up, and seller warranty.
