  2. Polaris High Efficiency Water Heaters From reliable and quiet performance to high efficiency ratings, Polaris High Efficiency Water Heaters from American are one of the main reasons behind the brand’s great reputation.

  3. Best Choice for Residential Hot Water • Polaris water heaters are the ideal product for large home applications where multiple tasks like dishwashing, showers, clothes washing and hot tubs are performed simultaneously. • Polaris models heat up to 386 gallons per hour (GPH) at a 60°F temperature rise, compared to 61 GPH for standard gas water heaters.

  4. Polaris High Efficiency Water Heaters Due to a recent extension of residential tax credits for energy efficient improvements, all models of Polaris High Efficiency Water Heaters are now eligible for up to $1,500 in tax credit. For more information on the tax credit, visit www.americanwaterheater.com.

  5. Up to 96% Thermal Efficiency • Submerged combustion chamber with spiral flue provides up to 96% thermal efficiency and ultra-low standby heat loss of approximately 1%. • Features a high-grade 444 stainless steel tank with brass connections for years of dependable, trouble-free service—no anode required. • Ultra-quiet radial blower is combined with the submerged burner for whisper-quiet operation.

  6. The quiet, brushless DC blower pre-purges the submerged combustion chamber for 8 seconds and turns off. The hot surface ignitor is energized and glows red hot. The blower turns on, precisely mixing air and gas for combustion. The mixture is forced through the metal fiber burner and is ignited by the hot surface ignitor. A blue flame is evenly distributed across the entire burner, resulting in clean combustion with low nitrous oxide emissions. Designed for Efficiency & Reliability 2 2 1 1 3 3

  7. High Efficiency Combustion System Sealed Combustion with Woven Fiber Premix Burner • Metal fiber burner is designed for clean combustion in high-intensity blue flame mode. • Manufactured of refractory steel that resists corrosion. Excellent resistance to thermal and mechanical shock, even at extreme temperatures. • Uniform combustion provides excellent heat transfer. • Complies with SCAQMD Low NOx requirements for California and Texas.

  8. The combustion chamber wall transfers high temperature heat from the flame to the water. The blower pushes hot combustion gases through the spiral coil, which scrubs the remaining heat from the hot gases. As combustion gas exits the bottom of the spiral coil, it is barely warm to the touch. Over 95% of the heat from the flame is transferred to the water.

  9. Designed for Efficiency & Reliability 7 8 7 8 • Combustion gases are vented through 2” or 3” PVC, CPVC or ABS plastic pipe. Direct vents up to 120´ using PVC, CPVC, or ABS pipe either Thru-the-Wall or Thru-the-Roof. Optional concentric vent kit available for use Thru-the-Roof or Wall. • Condensation formed by cooled combustion air is captured by a condensate trap and drained through a drain line.

  10. Operation Status and Troubleshooting Polaris water heaters feature a self-diagnostic control system. Three external LED lights indicate operational status of water heater. Indicator lights illuminate when the power is on and when the igniter and burner are operating. Microprocessor monitors nine critical functions. An LED troubleshooting light, visible through view port, signals heater operation status.

  11. Easy Installation “Plug and Play” Technology • No special adjustments are required at initial start up. Connect air inlet, exhaust outlet, water, electricity, and gas, set the temperature and the system functions properly. Full Serviceability from the Front • Removal of two front-located access panels exposes all serviceable components. Modular components are easily removed.

  12. Radiant Hydronic Heat Polaris water heaters work great for homeowners who prefer radiant hydronic heat. • With radiant floor hydronic systems, potable hot water is circulated through tubes under the floor. • The floor absorbs heat from the tubes and radiates it into the room. With radiant baseboard heat, potable hot water is circulated through finned tube baseboard. Heat rises from the baseboard heaters, warming the home. All water components must be approved for use with potable water.

  13. Forced Air Hydronic Heating Polaris water heaters combine an air handler for comfortable forced air hydronic space heating with potable hot water. • Hot water is circulated through a coil in the air handler. Air from the home is warmed as it is blown across the coil. • Warmed air is returned to the home through air ducts. • With up to 199,000 BTU, Polaris water heaters can heat most homes, large or small.

  14. Other Features • Thermistor Temperature Sensor • 24V Thermostat Control • Hot Surface Ignition • Full Flow Brass Drain Valve • Zero Clearance to Combustibles • Factory Installed T&P Valve • Factory Provided Condensate Trap • Multiple 1” Brass Tank Connections

  15. Specifications and Industry Certifications • Certified to current edition of ANSI Z21.10.3•CSA 4.3 Std • Meets or exceeds ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1-current standard

  16. Marketing Tools • American is building sales through marketing support via a number of elements, from collateral materials to e-marketing information.
