T
raditional vs. Tankless
Water Heating
■ Typical tank type water
h
eaters take up approxi-
mately 9 square feet.
A typical tankless water
heater measures less than
1
5" wide by just 2 feet
high and can be mounted
on an interior or exterior wall.
■
T
his comparison is based on both water
heaters using the same amount of hot water
per week.
A Rheem EcoSense tankless water heater will
c
onsume approximately 20 to 25% less in
fuel costs than a typical gas fired tank type
water heater.
■
T
ank type water heaters fire at full capacity
whenever the thermostat calls for heat.
A Rheem EcoSense tankless water heater has
a modulating gas valve and requires only the
e
nergy necessary to meet the demand.
■
A tank type water heater heats the entire
contents of the storage tank to meet large or
s
mall demands.
Tankless water heaters only heat the amount
of hot water necessary to meet the demand.
■ A 50 gallon tank type water heater would
run out of hot water after the third consecutive
1
0 minute shower based on a 2.5 gpm
shower head.
Tankless water heaters, when sized properly
will provide an endless supply of hot water.
■ The national average life expectancy for tank
type water heaters is 12 years.
The national average life expectancy for
tankless water heaters is 20 years.
