  • The diffuser dip tube helps reduce lime and sediment buildup by redirecting incoming cold water to create turbulence. Helping your unit to run longer and better.
  • Powered Anode Rods
  • These hot water heaters feature powered anode rods which are non-sacrificial, so they do not deplete over time. This also allows them to operate in all water conditions.
