2020 Product Guide
MORE HOT WATER
WHEN NEEDED
New electronic water heaters from GE Appliances are the first and only in the
industry to come standard with an integrated, electronic mixing valve that delivers
up to 60% MORE HOT WATER* when consumers need it. When high or extra-high
capacity settings are selected, water is stored at higher temperatures. As stored
water leaves the tank, the valve mixes in cold water to precisely control the
selected water temperature, making more usable hot water available.
