Product Star Rating:
Currently the hot-water heater you have in the basement or garage is keeping the water in its tank hot 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year, even while you’re away during the day, summer vacation or on a business trip. There it sits, burning up your energy dollars. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that keeping a tank full of water hot all the time is not very efficient.
We did some checking and discovered the Paloma Tankless Water Heater. You may ask what is a Paloma Tankless Water Heater? This is the water heater that heats water on demand or instantaneously. What it doesn’t do is pre-heat the water over and over again and then hold it in a storage tank – like the one you probably have in your home today! A Paloma Digital Tankless heats the water only when you turn on the tap and then sends it to you. There’s no need for a tank.
When you turn on the tap in your bathroom, it’s as if you turned the key of your ignition system on your car. The movement of the water in the unit tells your Paloma that it’s time to get started making hot water. The hot water then leaves the unit, delivering an endless supply of hot water because it heats water only when you need it. Who cares if you’re the last one in the shower?
Take for instance, a whirlpool bath will usually hold 60 to 80 gallons. This will get filled with a conventional 100-gallon tank but, there won’t be enough hot water for anything else. With a Paloma Tankless you will never run out of hot water.
Some of the great features are
* Energy Efficiency – A Paloma is 33% more efficient than the conventional hot-water tank.
* Long Life – A Paloma Tankless is built for a much longer life in places you can’t notice. Mineral deposits will never build up on elements inside the unit because there’s no holding tank and built for durability.
* Less Space – All good things come to an end of a useful life and when they do, there is less of our unit to send off to the landfill. It’s a whole lot smaller than a tank.
The Paloma Tankless Water Heater also has 6 great safety features.
1. Protection Against Scalding – Guard your family against scalding through the ability to set hot water temperatures with the digital controller.
2. Carbon Monoxide Safety – Indoor models have another safety feature called the ICAD that monitors, and shuts down the unit if there is a problem.
3. Fire Protection – All Paloma Tankless have an Overheat Limiter Wrap. If the plastic melts or becomes deformed in any way, the unit shuts down.
4. Flame Failure Protection – This is a thermocouple, which constantly checks to ensure proper firing and guards against flameouts. The Flame Failure Protection automatically shuts down the unit if any problems exist.
5. Anti-boil Protector – If for any reason water is not flowing adequately through the unit, a temperature sensor detects that overly high water temperature levels have been reached and shuts off the unit.
6. Freeze Protection – For those of you who live in areas with severe winters, there are models equipped with Freeze Protection. Down to minus 30 degrees F.
We have found no other hot-water system products can demonstrate the same range of safety design as Paloma and all digital models come with a detachable remote controller. (Up to three). The controller can be used to lower shower and bath temperatures to just the right point for a perfect shower. The Main Controller can be in your kitchen, garage or laundry room to be used for your dishes or laundry. The electronic Digital Controllers allow you to tailor hot-water temperature to each specific need.
All the digital tankless models also display troubleshooting diagnostic codes in the case of unit failure of any kind. If the unit shuts down because the corrective actions did not work, then the display shows an error code. Error codes inform you and help troubleshoot service problems.
We strongly recommend this product to anyone looking to go green and be more energy efficient and Paloma manufacturing company has been in business since 1911 as a pioneer in the gas appliance industry. Today, Paloma Group is a leading world producer of gas appliances. Paloma’s products for residential as well as commercial applications operate in a broad variety of installations around the world.
