Problem: In addition to the foundation’s conservation work, the Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation operates an outreach facility in Blackstone, Virginia, that hosts veteran groups who come to the rural location to hunt, fish and hike. Since the facility is not in use every week, the foundation wanted to replace its standard gas tank water heater with a tankless unit that would provide hot water on demand rather than heating water continuously.
Solution: With help from local contractor John Testerman of John Testerman Plumbing in nearby Sandston, Virginia, Burton Wildlife chose a ProLine XE Tankless Condensing Gas Water Heater with X3 Scale Prevention Technology from State Water Heaters.
Result: It was important to Burton Wildlife that the unit did not require routine maintenance as staff is not at the facility every day. With the X3 Technology, there is no longer a worry about scale-related maintenance. The technology allows mineral particles to pass through harmlessly while constantly protecting the heat exchanger from scale buildup. This eliminates the need for regular descaling maintenance and extends the unit’s life. 800-365-8170; www.statewaterheaters.com
