We're Smart About Water Heating

Be smart when choosing a tankless water heater for your home and choose the Energy Star certified, high efficiency Hydra Smart!

Did you know that heating water accounts for approximately 15% of a home's energy use? By selecting a high efficiency tankless water heater, like the Hydra Smart you are using 45 to 60% less energy than standard models. That's an expected energy savings of up to $1,800 over the equipment's lifetime or an estimated $402 in yearly energy costs*. View the yellow Energy Guide here. Your cost will depend on your utility rates and use.

Quality

The Hydra Smart is manufactured with dual high grade stainless steel heat exchangers. Why do we choose stainless steel? It resists corrosion and provides a longer life expectancy by design.

The Hydra Smart is equipped with a low NOx combustion system. The Hydra Smart's low NOx emission complies with SCAQMD 1146.2 strict NOx emission standards. It is also high altitude compliant.

A better experience with every installation

The Hydra Smart is a wall hung unit and can be vented in PVC, CPVC or Polypropylene piping. It vents 2 at 50 feet and 3 at 100 feet. This unit is available in natural gas or liquid propane.

The tankless unit can be converted to an outdoor model with an enclosure kit as shown below. It is part # 7850P-107, sold separately.

We recommend referencing local codes for additional requirements.

How Tankless Water Heating Works

Tankless Water Heaters (commonly referred to as on-demand or instantaneous water heaters) provide hot water when needed versus traditional tank type water heaters, which store the hot water. A major benefit to using a tankless water heater is that it doesn't produce the energy losses associated with tank type water heaters. The result is increased efficiencies and cost savings.

As soon as the hot water tap is turned on, cold water travels through plumbing to reach a Hydra Smart series unit. The Hydra Smart's gas burner then heats the water on demand. You will no longer need to wait for a tank type water heater to fill up with enough hot water. (HTP does recommend reviewing a tankless water heater's flow rate outputs)

For homes that use 41 gallons or less of hot water daily, demand water heaters can be 24%-34% more energy efficient than conventional storage tank water heaters. They can be 8%-14% more energy efficient for homes that use a lot of hot water -- around 86 gallons per day. You can achieve even greater energy savings of 27%-50% if you install a demand water heater at each hot water outlet. ENERGY STAR estimates that a typical family can save $100 or more per year with an ENERGY STAR qualified tankless water heater. (Energy.gov)

Tankless water heaters are typically more expensive than a traditional atmospheric tank-type water heater, but tankless water heaters will typically last longer and have lower operating and energy costs, which could offset the higher price point. As an added bonus, all of HTP's Tankless Water Heaters are ENERGY STAR certified! The tankless water heaters use a secondary heat exchanger to use 9% less energy than a conventional, non-ENERGY STAR certified gas tankless water heater. The secondary heat exchanger extracts more heat from the combustion gas, cooling it to the point where there is condensation - hence these types of heaters are called gas condensing.
