How the Titan Tankless Water Heater Works
- As the name suggests, the Titan tankless water heater provides hot water without the use of a storage tank. Instead of holding water in a tank and heating it, the Titan tankless water heater heats water on demand as it passes through the unit. Water is fed into the tankless water heater unit directly from the main water supply, heating just the amount of water that is going to be used. Inline water heaters such as the Titan tankless water heater saves time during hot water production because it does not require all of the water in a storage tank to be heated before hot water can be provided.
- A Titan tankless water heater is installed directly onto the wall, often in the location where a previous tank water heater was installed. The water heater unit requires at least 12 inches of clearance both above and below the unit, and requires access to an electrical power source. The water supply that would previously have filled the water heater tank is connected to the tankless water heater's input connection, while the existing hot water line is connected to the output. It is recommended that a professional plumber perform the installation of a Titan tankless water heater in order to avoid potential injury or damage, and the heater ships with an installation guide that can be provided to plumbers who aren't familiar with the exact installation procedures for a tankless water heater.
- Once a Titan tankless water heater is installed and operational it can be used in the same manner as any other water heater. Depending on the model of Titan water heater that was installed, the water heater unit can heat between 1.8 and four gallons of water per minute. The temperature to which the heater will heat the water can be adjusted on the unit, giving you control over exactly how hot your water gets. Water passing through the Titan water heater will be heated instantly, with a slight delay in the delivery of hot water occurring as a result of the hot water having to pass through household pipes on their way to the faucet or appliance that needs the hot water.
