ENVIRONMENTALLY PREFERABLE?

The EPA defines “Environmentally Preferable” as “products or services that have a lesser or
reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing
products or services that serve the same purpose. This comparison applies to raw materials,
manufacture, packaging, distribution, use, reuse, operation, maintenance and disposal.”

The Costs of Failure

Failed water heaters can cause considerable damage:

Carpet and Drywall Replacement

Mold Remediation

Relocation Costs

Replacement water heater and installation costs

800,000 gallons of water are lost due to failures each day

Old water heaters account for over 5 cubic miles of landfills each year

Insurance claims for water damage averages $4,400 per claim

69% of water heater failures can be traced to corrosion of the water heater

THE MAIN COMPONENT AGAINST CORROSION IS THE SACRIFICIAL ANODE ROD

 

INTELLIGENT ANODE COST BENEFIT

The average life of a water heater is 10.7 years (State Auto Insurance report - Jan 2008).

Use of the Intelligent Anode can extend the life of the water heater by 2 - 3 times.

This delayed distribution of failure pays for itself AND the water heater after 7 years.

 

SUSTAINABLITY

With traditional water heaters it's a game of "Russian Roulette," with failure unpredictable and catastrophic.

The Intelligent Anode indicates precisely when action needs to be taken. Replacing the anode rod gives the water heater many more years of protection from corrosion.
