Heatbit's Bitwater is a screw-in replacement element for existing 30–80 gallon electric water heater tanks in the US and Canada, using 20 BM1370 chips (up to 34 TH/s, from 12 J/TH) to heat water while mining bitcoin, with no fans or noise. The company says homes use roughly 300 TWh yearly heating water versus about 170 TWh for the Bitcoin network. DIY installation requires no plumbing or circuit changes; the app tracks temperature, hashrate and earnings, pays to a user-controlled address, and includes Legionella disinfection cycles. Preorders are open, shipping Q1 2027; no payback period was promised.
