Hatco S-18 Imperial 16-Gallon Commercial Electric Water Booster Heater (18.0kW)

The Hatco S-18 Imperial electric booster water heater provides commercial kitchens with a reliable source of sanitizing rinse water. Featuring a generous 16-gallon capacity, this unit maintains steady temperatures during peak dishwashing hours. By delivering continuously hot rinse water, it ensures dishes and flatware air-dry instantly. This rapid drying process helps foodservice operators save valuable time and space while streamlining daily dishroom operations.

Constructed for durability, the heater utilizes a Castone-lined tank that delivers non-toxic and non-corrosive performance backed by a 10-year limited warranty. The exterior combines a heavy-duty stainless steel front panel with a powder-coated silver-gray hammertone body, resting on six-inch plastic non-adjustable legs. To maximize energy efficiency, a built-in heat trap and dense fiberglass insulation work together to minimize heat loss. Servicing the unit is straightforward because the front cover provides instant access to factory pre-set thermostats and internal components.
