TAKAGI UNVEILS HOTTEST LITTLE
WATER HEATERS ON THE MARKET

Irvine, CA?Water heaters should do a lot more than take up space, run up utility bills and run cold every time out-of-town guests increase the household's demand for hot water. That's why Takagi Industrial Company USA Inc., long known as a leader in tankless water heater technology, has unveiled a new generation of tankless water heaters with the Flash T-KD20.

Designed for high-efficiency residential use, the T-KD20 is an incredibly small system?measuring 2.2 cubic feet and 60 pounds?that provides enormous benefits. Unlike traditional water heaters that operate continuously to keep the water in the tank at a constant temperature, Takagi's T-KD20 delivers more than 250 gallons of hot water per hour on demand, yielding an endless supply of hot water, as well as reduced energy consumption. Additionally, the T-KD20?s direct-vent system to the outside makes it ideal for climate-controlled environments.

The T-KD20 and the Mobius 1 unit for larger commercial and industrial applications join Takagi's T-K2 unit, the existing residential model. With all three models having been introduced only within the last two years, they are enjoying outstanding acceptance.
Ken Ballentine of Ballentine Plumbing in El Segundo, Calif., has been installing Takagi water heaters for four of his 25 years in business.

?The time has really come for tankless technology in the United States, with the growing emphasis on energy conservation and household efficiency," Ballentine said. ?Other companies provide similar tankless products, but Takagi has gone beyond a new paradigm as it continues to refine the technology. With Takagi, there is virtually no maintenance required, and many consumers will find this is the last water heater they will ever have to buy."

Consumers aren's the only ones who should take note of Takagi's many advantages. Homebuilders can reap major compliance rewards, while helping their buyers reduce water heating costs by anywhere from 25 to 60 percent, depending upon individual usage.

According to John Eash, an architect and energy specialist with the California Energy Commission?s Residential Buildings & Appliances Office, ?If builders find out about the tremendous compliance credit given for the Takagi, they won?t be able to make these tankless water heaters fast enough."
