Zurn Elkay Water Solutions has announced it has signed an agreement to acquire Intellihot, a privately-held leader in tankless water heater solutions serving the healthcare, education, hospitality and commercial end markets.

“We are excited about Intellihot, an earlier-stage technology disruptor in the tankless water heating market for commercial and institutional applications,” said Todd A. Adams, chairman and CEO of Zurn Elkay. “This transaction will be a strong initial step into an adjacent category where building owners demand integrated solutions from partners like Zurn Elkay and Intellihot that they know and trust. A combination with Intellihot, which we have cultivated for years, will further our long-term growth strategy and will bring an established presence in the water heating end market.

“As we’ve historically done both organically and through acquisition, we’ve identified a category in which we believe we can establish a meaningful presence and share that has many of the same attributes of our existing business: a specifiable solution in a growing market, part of an industry with longer-term regulatory tailwinds, sold through distribution and our independent third-party rep network, with products that have a real sustainable impact on our customers,” Adams said. “Our balance sheet, leverage, liquidity and cash flow generation remain strong, as do our M&A and innovation funnels, all of which puts us in a great spot as we continue to pursue opportunities for growth both organically and inorganically.”

Intellihot offers gas and electric tankless water heaters with market-leading energy efficiency and cost savings compared to traditional tanked water heaters. Intellihot’s net sales are expected to be approximately $37 million in 2026. The transaction is expected to close early in the third quarter.

Second-Quarter Results

“We see our second quarter results ahead of the outlook range we provided earlier in the quarter,” Adams said. “We will provide further details on the quarter and our outlook during an earnings call scheduled for Wednesday, July 29, 2026.”
