Water Made Better

High-Efficiency Water Heaters

Endless hot water. Less energy. Less emissions.

Why high-value condensing

Three reasons it feels different.

Condensing

Up to 0.90 UEF

Fully condensing design captures heat that ordinary tanks send up the flue — turning more of every therm into hot water at the tap.

Clean Air

Ultra-Low NOx

A unique side-fired Ultra-Low NOx burner meets or exceeds the strictest emission requirements in California and Utah — quiet, clean and code-ready.

Endless Comfort

Continuous Hot Water

Engineered to deliver continuous hot water “shower after shower” at a steady flow of over 2.5 gallons per minute — no cold surprises mid-rinse.
