Rheem® Professional Series Water Heaters
The Professional Series offers numerous other special features designed to boost performance and extend water heater life: The EverKleen Self-Cleaning System is a patented cold-water inlet tube that creates a high-velocity, swirling vortex at the point where water enters the tank. This constant agitation prevents harmful sediment that precipitates from the water from settling at the bottom of the tank and disrupting the heat-transfer process. The spiraling action also reduces the effects by creating a more even water temperature from top to bottom of the tank. The benefits? More hot water at the tap, lower energy bills and longer tank life. Two-and-a-half inches of energy-saving foam insulation, with an approximate R-value of R-20, helps retain heat in the tank during standby periods. Because the water heater doesn’t work as hard to meet new demand for hot water, it lasts longer. All Professional Series gas and electric units are equipped with the patented, premium-grade R-Tech anode rod, which shields exposed metal in the water heater tank from corrosion. Conventional anodes are prone to become over-active in aggressive water conditions. The R-Tech has a built-in resistored circuit that slows conductivity: the anode lasts longer and so, therefore, does the tank. In addition, the R-Tech anode also minimizes smelly water conditions, usually triggered by a buildup of hydrogen sulfide a frequent by-product of an over-active anode in rural applications. The Lifeguard element is standard equipment on all Professional electric models. The element’s outer sheath is made of a durable stainless steel & the same material used in electric-range elements. This assures the element will last as long as the water heater. Lifeguard low-watt density design reduces the concentration of heat along the element, delivering heat to the water more efficiently and reducing sediment buildup, thereby extending the life of the water heater.
Professional Series gas models range in storage capacity from 40 gallons to 100 gallons, with inputs up to 75,000 Btu. Electric models are available from 30 gallons to 80 gallons. All units are equipped with brass drain valves, and a temperature and pressure relief valve is included in every water heater carton. For more information on the Professional Series, distributors and contractors should contact their local Rheem® or Ruud® sales representative. RHEEM® MANUFACTURING COMPANY, headquartered in New York City, is a leading producer of residential water heaters in North America and the world, with manufacturing operations on three continents. In addition to producing water heaters for the wholesale channel under the Rheem® and Ruud® labels, the company also makes and markets pool and spa heaters, boilers, and heating and air-conditioning products in North America.
