AutoBooster adds up to 45% capacity to water heater tanks, increasing the amount of available hot water. Homeowners can now enjoy hot showers, longer.
The booster attaches to an existing tank or can be mounted nearby on the wall. It will give a 50 gal. tank the capacity of an 80 gal. tank, without taking up more space.
The vacation mode feature allows homeowners to switch off power to their tank when they’re away, saving money on hot water heating when it isn’t needed.
Installation is a one-trade install and takes as little as 45 minutes, as opposed to new, larger tank installations. Vacation mode also saves homeowners money on energy bills.
AutoBooster can be installed on electric and gas tanks to benefit both current and new water heater owners. Since the booster increases efficiency, small tanks can now produce as much hot water as larger tanks.
Vacation mode with freeze protection is a handy, money-saving feature that won’t jeopardize home safety. If vacation mode is on and the water temperature drops below 60°F, AutoBooster will automatically turn the tank back on.

Yes, Uponor Wirsbo plumbing pex may be used to connect the unit, You would need two threaded pex adapters, one male and one female to connect to the 3/4" connections on the unit.
Most codes still require no plastic within so many inches of the fired device...I wouldn't risk having the installation flunk inspection without first checking with the authority having jurisdiction.
