Domestic Hot Water – Hybrid vs. Hybrid
By: Paul Home
Eternal Hybrid, the exclusive product of its kind, is the industry leader for delivering hot water efficiently and economically. We have been recognized by trade publications, as well as lab tested to be the performance leader.
What makes Eternal so unique? There are actually 3 technical reasons why Eternal is the only hybrid tank + tank-less hot water heating system of its kind:
1. Single unit combining Flow Capacity of tank + Continuity of tankless: No water pressure loss even with multiple taps open and the hot water is endless
2. Dual Activation featuring Thermostat Activation and Flow Activation: sensitive enough to work with low flow apps and smart enough to modulate with higher demand apps
3. Integrated Storage within heat exchanger: easy installation and integration into applications such as heating / recirculation / solar
Our innovative efforts have not gone unnoticed, and we are proud to be inspiring other green hybrid technologies within the industry. One of which is the recently announced General Electric (GE) Hybrid Water.\
The GE unit features a combination of Heat Pump + Elements. The hybrid in GE’s sense refers to the unit’s ability to generate heat from two different methods. Although more efficient than previously available technologies in the electric storage category, GE’s hybrid does not utilize gas as a fuel source and is not similar when compared to the Eternal.
Both system offer extremely lower operating costs and and great energy savings verse conventional water heaters. The Eternal Hybrid offers the additional benefit of very high hot water production capacity.
We are glad that GE is taking a leadership position in green technologies that can reduce electricity usage in residential homes, and our mission remains the same: to continuously innovate and delivery hot water efficiently, economically and comfortably.
