How it Works

The A. O. Smith X3 tankless water heaters provide hot water on-demand and include X3TM Scale Prevention Technology


Demand from house fixtures:
• A hot water tap is opened
• The opened tap allows water to flow through the water heater. An internal water flow sensor detects this flow
• Upon flow detection, the flow sensor sends the activation signal to the computer board
• The computer automatically ignites the burner
• As water flows through the heat exchanger, it absorbs heat from the burner
• By the time the water exits the heater, it has reached the designated set temperature
• When the hot water tap is closed, the water heater automatically turns off
 

X3TM Scale Prevention Technology:
• Extends life of unit up to 3 times longer
• Eliminates need for isolation valves
• No annual descaling required
• No conditioning period required when using new copper pipe
• Maintains like-new performance longer
