HOW DO THEY WORK?

Absorb ambient heat from the surrounding air to heat water using a compressor and “Environmentally-Friendly” R134a refrigerant

• Self-contained heat pump unit is integrated into the top of the tank

• Multiple operating modes to maximize efﬁciency and performance

QUALIFIES FOR MANY STATE AND LOCAL UTILITY REBATES CHECK WWW.DSIREUSA.ORG

INCREASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY

• Improved efﬁciency designed in, to ensure available hot water at the lowest possible cost. Up to a 3.45 Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) Rating conserves energy and meets ENERGY STAR® qualiﬁcations

CHOICE OF OPERATING MODES

• Select from Efﬁciency, Hybrid, or Electric modes to match heating requirements to environmental conditions.

• Hybrid mode automatically adjusts between compressor and element, depending upon heat requirements.

• Vacation mode reduces operating costs and provides freeze protection during extended absence

BACKUP ELECTRIC ELEMENTS

• Long-lasting backup heating elements help heat water according to environmental conditions, demand, and the chosen operating mode

COREGARD™ ANODE ROD

• Our anode rods have a stainless steel core that extends the life of the anode rod allowing superior tank protection far longer than standard anode rods

• 66 and 80 gallon models have dual anodes for added protection.

DRY FIRE PROTECTION

• Control system checks to ensure the tank is full of water during start up to prevent dry ﬁring the heating elements

ELECTRONIC USER INTERFACE

• User-friendly electronic interface allows easy control of temperature setting, operating mode, and communicates diagnostics

• Easy to read temperature display (see back) shows temperature in °F or °C

• Advanced diagnostics convey error messages for service purposes. The last four error messages are saved in the control system memory.

OTHER FEATURES

• Ideal for basements or garage installations; the compressor transfers heat to the water while dehumidifying and cooling the ambient air

• Washable air ﬁlter is easily removed for routine cleaning

OPTIONAL AIR DUCT ADAPTER KIT

• Permits installation in conﬁned spaces
