Propane Operation

This water heater utilizes a propane-fired burner to route heat through a passage in the tank, transferring the heat to the water stored in the tank. This model features an automatic spark ignition system, also known as a direct spark ignition (DSI), making it easy to operate. To start the heater, simply ensure that it is filled with water and flip the switch. This feature requires a 12V DC connection to power the control board and igniter.

Porcelain Lined Steel Tank

Built with a durable steel tank that is lined with porcelain for added protection and longevity. This type of construction is also used in most residential water heaters, ensuring that it can withstand various water conditions. An anode rod is included to further extend the life of the tank by protecting it from corrosion. The tank also features an insulation jacket that is custom fit to the tank for maximum heat retention, this will help in reducing the energy consumption and keep the hot water hotter for longer period of time.

Electric Ignition

The electric ignition eliminates the hassle of manual lighting of your water heater. The electric ignition utilizes a control board that sends an electrical signal to the igniter, which then creates a spark to ignite the propane burner. Simply flip the switch (not included) to start the water heater, making it more convenient and easier to use.
