Hello Everyone! I'm new to the forum and created this thread in hopes of starting conversation and getting some feedback from folks in the plumbing field and consumers in the market for water heaters. (Please note- this is NOT spam and my intention is NOT to sell anyone on our products. Instead, I sincerely appreciate your honest feedback on our technology and products) Our company offers a new line of Electric Infrared Tankless Water Heaters that uses no metal heating elements and is maintenance free. We offer point of use systems and larger systems for residential and commercial applications.
As you all may know, water heating technology today is over 100 years old and water heaters unfortunately are one of those items most people neglect and don't pay much attention to until there's a problem such as a leak or if they run out of hot water. Most of these issues arise from the lack of routine maintenance that should be performed from flushing/ draining the tanks and replacing of corroded heating elements. However, even with proper maintenance, we still see some of these issues mainly with tanks/ boilers since we will never be able to completely drain the systems of all the deposits, which ultimately leads to corrosion and contaminated water. Running out of hot water is also an incident that occurs occasionally with tanks/ boilers and can be an annoyance. Besides these issues, the tanks/ boilers are inefficient, constantly running throughout the day, even when you're not home in order to maintain the water temp for whenever you need it. An average electric 40-50 gallon boiler for residential applications typically uses dual 4500W heating elements, totaling 9000W or equivalent to leaving on approximately 150 - 60W light bulbs each time you walk out of the house. Now I'm sure that sounds absurd to do so but that's the reality of what's happening.
Our products are designed to help resolve some of the issues we're seeing today with old water heating technology. We use patented far infrared energy coupled with carbon coated quartz tubes as our heating elements which means there's no metal heating elements that ever touch the water. Our systems maintain 99% thermal efficiency, will never require maintenance or replacing of heating elements and can save up to 65% on water heating costs.
You can check out our website for more information. **Once again, this is NOT a message to sell anyone our products.** We are inventors and entrepreneurs developing new innovative products for the water heating industry. The website offers our line of Infrared Tankless water heaters, however, we have other products in development that are scheduled to be released later this year and the following year. We would truly appreciate any feedback from the community and welcome your questions and thoughts.
Sincerely,
Troy
