Abstract

An apparatus and method for heating water using tankless water heater with TRIAC. The present invention is a TRIAC adjustment device that lets a user adjust electric output within a tankless water heater to limit or turn off electricity to a TRAIC within the tankless water heater. As utilized herein, a TRAIC or traic is defined as “a three-electrode semiconductor device that will conduct in either direction when triggered by a positive or negative signal at the gate electrode.”
