The Polaris high efficiency gas water heater is the high performance answer for today’s hot water needs. It can provide endless hot water* and can be used for a combination of domestic hot water and space heating.
CONDENSING DESIGN
•Operates at up to 96% thermal efficiency which saves money on operating costs compared to a standard 80% efficient gas water heater.
•Helical internal heat exchanger keeps hot combustion gases in the tank longer to extract more heat into the water.
STAINLESS STEEL CONSTRUCTION
•Tank and helical heat exchanger are constructed from 444 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance without the need for an anode.
WHISPER QUIET OPERATION
•Ultra quiet blower and burner to minimize noise.
POWER DIRECT VENT DESIGN
•Direct vent using PVC, CPVC or Polypropylene (solid core only) through a sidewall or roof.
