Takagi Mobius T-M32 Tankless Water Heater
Feb. 20, 2009 — Hot water for your shower and your dishwashing — can't get much more basic than that. But basic doesn't have to mean the same old thing. Ergo: a tankless water heater!
What, who, what? A water heater without a tank of water? What strange magic be this? It's simple, really: Tankless water heaters use either an electric heating element or, in the case of this model from Takagi, a gas burner that heats piped-in cold water and sends it right up when a resident turns on the tap — thereby avoiding the standby heat-loss of tank models and the wait for a storage tank to fill up.
The T-M32, specifically designed for heavy-duty commercial applications, fires up at 240,000 BTU and can pump out up to nine gallons per minute. Like most heaters, it can be multilinked to supply hot water to larger buildings — in this case, to up to 20 units, generating 180 gallons per minute. You can set it to eight pre-set temperatures ranging from 100 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Ignition indicators tell you which burner is fired up at any given moment, and a seven-segment LED alerts you to errors.
Safety features include built-in freeze protection; a manually reset high-temperature cut-off; inlet, outlet and mixing thermistors for constant temperature monitoring; an air-fuel-ratio rod; and a fuse and surge absorber. Yep — pretty much all you need do is just go with the flow.
