COMMERCIAL-GRADE COMPONENTS BLUE DIAMOND® GLASS COATING A patented commercial-grade formula that provides superior tank protection and corrosion resistance compared to the industry standard glass lining. Blue Diamond glass coating blend is formulated in the same lab that creates the protection for our industry-leading commercial product line. Through our long history, we’ve learned that one size rarely fits all.
RESIDENTIAL WATER HEATER SELECTION GUIDE SIMPLE TANK TYPE SIZING 1 Determine whether your family is low demand or high demand. You should consider your family to be high demand if... • There are more than two full baths in the home. • There are (or will be) teenagers living in the home. It’s a fact: teenagers use more hot water for showering and washing clothes. • You have an oversize whirlpool bath or other large tub.
SIMPLE TANKLESS SIZING TANKLESS MODELS GROUND WATER TEMPERATURE FACTOR The temperature of incoming ground water (cold water inlet temperature) varies greatly throughout the U.S. and also fluctuates with the changing of the seasons. The temperature of water as it enters the water heater will determine the amount of “temperature rise” required to achieve the desired hot water outlet temperature (120°F is recommended).
