Intellihot Electron tankless heat pump water heater
Intellihot’s Electron family of tankless heat pump water heaters are designed and built for commercial applications. Electron units include: the iE1, an integrated unit with a thermal battery that can be installed indoors or outdoors; and the iE6, a larger modular heat pump that installs outdoors and pairs with the iB3, a thermal battery that installs indoors. The unit uses electric heat pump technology with CO2 as the refrigerant paired with a specially designed thermal battery. CO2 is environmentally friendly; it has superior heat transfer characteristics compared to synthetic refrigerants; it’s a naturally occurring substance and abundant in the atmosphere; and it’s safe because it’s non-flammable and non-toxic. The specially designed thermal battery stores heat energy and enables heating water on-demand without the need to store large quantities of potable water. The Electron offers 24/7 factory monitoring to ensure endless volumes of water up to 170 degrees F, and multiple units can be wirelessly cascaded via Bluetooth. All can be made solar-ready with a quick upgrade. 877-835-1705; www.intellihot.com

Noritz Hybrid Hot Series water heater
Noritz America’s Hybrid Hot Series provides a continuous hot water supply and quick hot-water recovery. The Hybrid Hot mounts the Noritz NCC199CDV commercial condensing tankless water heater onto a 119-gallon storage tank. The tankless unit draws cold water from the side port of the attached tank. Once heated within the NCC199CDV to the desired temperature, set between 100 to 185 degrees F, the heated water travels via a pipe that connects the hot water outlet at the bottom of the tankless water heater to a port located on the side of the storage tank near the top. The combination of the storage tank and tankless water heater in the Hybrid Hot Series offers flexibility for indoor commercial applications that require a large dump load of hot water over a short period of time without the use of multiple tankless water heaters. The hybrid unit has a 317 gph delivery rate and is equivalent to two tankless water heaters. 714-433-2905; www.noritz.com

A single, easy-to-access top-fill hub allows staff to refill multiple soap reservoirs all at one time and the system accommodates either foam or liquid universal soap. A smart sense system with LED indicator on the fill port illuminates to indicate when the tank begins to run low on soap or battery power, taking the guesswork out of maintenance. Smart sensors also provide audible and visual indicators to prevent overfilling and mess. The fill port hub is made of durable chrome-plated brass construction to withstand heavy usage in busy restroom environments, and its tamper-resistant screw heads off vandalism attempts. 800-272-3539; www.bradleycorp.com
