Long-Lasting “Life Cycle” Efficiency
In a standard tank-type water heater, lime scale builds up over time on important heat transfer surfaces, insulating the water
from the heat source. This buildup in the bottom of the tank and around the flue tubes can cause tank-type heaters to fail in
as little as 2-3 years. This decreases thermal efficiency and increases operating cost. Just 1/4" of lime scale in the tank can
increase operating costs as much as 25%!
ARMOR’s “dual component” concept eliminates the impact of lime scale, maintaining a high-rated thermal efficiency and low
operating cost throughout its long life cycle.
The chart below illustrates how ARMOR is a better way, delivering true “life cycle efficiency” compared to standard tank-
type units.
