Residential Electric Indirect
Solar Booster Water Heater
6-Year Limited Tank/ 6-Year Limited Parts Warranty*
American 80 and 120-gallon indirect solar booster water heaters
are specially designed for installation as part of a closed loop
solar water heating system. They provide an energy-ecient
supplementary source of water heating power and hot water
storage to help maintain consistent water temperature during
periods when the solar components cannot keep up with system
demands. Count on American for products that provide hot water
solutions for residential renewable-energy applications.
FEATURES
Internal Heat Exchanger
Single wall internal heat exchange coil for the most ecient heat transfer from
•
solar panels
Suitable for propylene glycol heat transfer uid with corrosion inhibitor
•
Long-Lasting Low-Watt Density Copper Heating Element
• Low-watt density design spreads wattage over larger surface area to prolong element life
and help maximize energy-eciency
• Prewired for surface mount temperature sensor (sensor supplied separately)
2 Inch-Thick Environmentally Friendly Non-CFC Foam Insulation For
High Energy-Eciency
Glass Tank Coating
• Glass lining helps maximize tank life against corrosion and buildup
Diuser Dip Tube
• Helps reduce lime and sediment buildup to maximize hot water output
• Made from long-lasting PEX cross-linked polymer
Two Anode Rods
• Primary and secondary magnesium anodes with stainless steel core protect tank against
corrosion longer than ordinary anodes
Factory Installed CSA Certied and ASME Rated T&P Relief Valve
Durable Tamper-Resistant Brass Drain Valve
Pex-Lined, Heat Trap Nipples for Eciency
