Gas heater heats water on demand! Tankless water heaters have been used in Europe for decades. When you look at the benefits, it's easy to see why. They make more sense than conventional tank heaters, especially for cabins, retreat houses and many commercial applications.
Endless supply of hot water-The Aquastar heats water as it's needed so you never run out. Choose how hot you want the water and set the thermostat. Your Aquastar will consistently deliver water at this temperature, even as the flow increases or decreases. You will never run out of hot water.
Saves space-The Aquastar water heater has no bulky storage tank so it is extremely compact and can be installed virtually anywhere. Mount it on the wall where it's needed - in the washroom, kitchen, or even the attic. Perfect for small homes, apartments and vacation get-aways.
Saves energy and money-The Aquastar water heater only heats the water you actually use and heats it to the temperature you specify. Compared to an electric water heater that stores hot water in a tank 24 hours a day just in case it's needed, this method can save a great deal of money. Most are over 80% efficient and can save you up to $600 each year!
How it works-Open a hot water faucet and the powerful gas burners come to life. The incoming cold water runs through a series of finned copper heating coils (similar to a car radiator) and comes out piping hot, ready to be used. The burners shut off automatically when the water is turned off.
Venting requirements-Units must be vented for safety. If venting vertically, no power vent is required. If venting horizontally, a power vent is required. Power vent requires 120-volt electricity. Models 125FX and 240FX have built-in power vent.
Built to last-Since there is no tank to build up mineral deposits, leak or eventually rust, the Aquastar will last much longer than a tank-type water heater. The burners and other key components are made of non-corrosive brass, copper and stainless steel. There is a built-in, manual gas shut-off control, and pilot thermocouple safety protection. Ten-year warranty on heat exchanger, AGA approved.
Note: All water heaters require at least 15 PSI of water pressure. If left unused in a below-freezing environment, it must be drained completely. Models vary slightly in looks. If using in confined spaces or in tight houses an outside air intake vent may be needed. Some heaters may not work for mobile homes. Not approved for RVs. Call for details.
