Hatco 3CS2-9B Hydro-Heater Sanitizing Sink Heater, 9 kW, 208V 3-Phase, Digital Control
Description
Holds the third compartment of your sink at sanitizing temperature with a 9 kW Hydro-Heater whose elements never touch the water.
The Hatco 3CS2-9B Hydro-Heater mounts under the center of a 3- or 4-compartment, pot and pan or bar sink and keeps a continuous supply of 180°F sanitizing rinse water. Its heating elements are wrapped around the outside of the flow tube, which cuts sediment and lime buildup, and water circulates by natural convection. An electronic controller with a digital display holds the setpoint. This 9 kW model is sized for a 21"-25" square compartment and runs on 208V balanced 3-phase.

Elements outside the water
The heating elements wrap the outside of the flow tube, so they do not sit in the water. Hatco says this reduces sediment and lime buildup and gives longer life.
Digital setpoint control
An electronic controller with a digital display keeps the water at the setpoint you choose.
Low-water cut-off
A low-water cut-off system is standard, with a convenient drain outlet and clean-out caps.
Under-sink design
The heater mounts below the center of the third compartment, leaving the whole sink free.
Ready to install
It ships fully assembled with gaskets and fittings; self-contained unions connect it to the sink fittings.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 35 lb.
- A licensed electrician must hardwire the heater to a properly sized fused disconnect or circuit breaker; no cord is supplied.
- Cut two 2" holes in the bottom of the third compartment with the full-size template, then connect the heater with the supplied fittings and unions.

Questions buyers ask
What size sink does it fit?
The 3CS2-9B is sized for a compartment of 21"-25" square, at 2,000 watts per square foot of vessel top with 140°F supply water and a 30-minute preheat.
What electrical service does it need?
It is hardwired, balanced 3-phase. 208V: 25 A, 10 AWG wire, 40 A breaker.
How hot does it keep the water?
Hatco rates the 3CS2 for 180°F sanitizing rinse water, and its series page describes circulating water between 180°F and 190°F. The digital controller holds the setpoint.
Why is it called a Hydro-Heater?
The elements are wrapped around the outside of a tubular water chamber instead of sitting in the water. Hatco says this reduces sediment and lime on the element and extends its life.
What options are there?
Options must be ordered with the heater: an all stainless steel body and base, an auto-fill solenoid, a remote mounted control and a security package with Torx screws and a control cover. A flush kit with hose, cleaning brush, stopper and adapter is sold separately.
What is the warranty?
Hatco's 3CS2 manual lists a one year parts and labor warranty, with 24/7 parts and service assistance in the US and Canada. Failures from lime or sediment buildup are not covered.
