2) User Temperature Controls

Simplicity at its finest! Set it and forget it - use the simple push button controls to raise or lower the temperature setting of your unit. A convenient digital display shows the current temperature setting whenever the unit is running. You can set the temperature at any level between 80°F (27°C) and 125°F (52°C) in increments of 5° F. To change the digital display from Fahrenheit to Celsius, simply press both buttons at the same time. It's just that easy!

3) Sensors

A series of sensors monitor the water flow rate as well as incoming and output water temperatures. These sensors send vital information to the microprocessor on a constant and ongoing basis to help maintain the precise output temperature selected by the user.

4) Time Proportional Triggering Devices (TRIAC)

Each heating element is served by a TRIAC which regulates power to the heating element. TRIACS allow the control of very large power flows with milliampere- scale precision. The TRIACS are mounted on a heat-diffusing plate which in turn is cooled by the water flowing through the inlet water line.

5) Terminal Block

Handles the incoming wiring from the electrical sub-panel that is supplied with the unit. For your convenience, the wires that connect the tankless water heater to the electrical sub-panel are pre-wired to the terminal block when you receive your unit.

6) Heating Elements

The brawn of the system…a series of very high power heating elements are used to heat the water as it passes through the heating chambers. The heating elements are coated with stainless steel to resist dissolved minerals such as calcium (hard water) and iron.

7) Hi-Limit Thermal Protection with Automatic Reset

Each heating element is protected by its own automatic thermal limit switch which will turn off the heating element if a potentially unsafe output water temperature is reached (approx. 140F). This reduces the risk for scalding injuries and protects the unit from damage in the event of a power surge or other unusual event. Most competitors' models use thermal limit switches that must be manually reset when triggered.

8) Heating Chambers

No messing around with cheap plastics here! The heating chambers are the heart of the GULFWAVE 2 tankless water heater. They are made of copper and brass welded together with silver to resist the expansion and contraction of the metals caused by rapid heating and cooling. Furthermore, they are manufactured by hand to ensure precision.

9) Aluminum Case

Once again, no plastics here! The whole package is housed in a solid, heat-resistant, attractively-finished anodized aluminum case, thereby protecting internal components from dust, debris and physical damage. The aluminum case also features a built-in mounting bracket to securely fix the unit to the wall at all four corners.

10) Electrical Sub-Panel and Water Heater Hoses

To meet electrical codes in the USA and Canada, tankless water heaters need to be installed with an electrical sub-panel.  When you buy from us, we include an electrical sub-panel and the associated breakers. The GULFWAVE 2 meets this requirement, unfortunately, many don't...so be careful when comparing to other brands to ensure they meet safety standards and your local electrical codes, and that there are no hidden costs when it comes time for installation. (Note: breaker for main electrical panel to be supplied by the installer/purchaser).
