A common cause of premature tank failure and reduced energy efficiency in all water heaters is sediment build up. The detrimental effects of this universal problem are interference in heat transfer, lower tank capacity, corrosion, early parts failure and an annoying rumbling noise. The result of all this is a water heater that must work harder and consume much more energy. The Hydrojet Sediment Reduction System uses a variation of the original residential Hydrojet system to block the build up of harmful sediment in commercial units.
Two powerful variations of the Hydrojet System.
 The Commercial Hydrojet System incorporates up to two inlet tubes. One is the traditional top connect version and the other is a new design front connection. Both rely on the patented jetport concept that proved extremely effective in the residential Hydrojet system. In the top connect version, patented jetports built into the inlet tube are used to create turbulence inside the tank. The turbulence helps reduce sediment build-up. Each jetport forces incoming water out into the tank before it reaches the end or outlet of the tube. Unique jetport positioning generates an increase in turbulence by creating accelerating water current inside the tank.
The jetport is placed on the underside of the tube centered a short distance from the end of the outlet. Water becomes pressurized, fans out and is sprayed with force. This single jetport acts as a flow disrupter increasing turbulence and extending the effective scouring action across the bottom of the tank. Two alignment notches in the water connection end of the tube help the installer ensure that the front connect Hydrojet tube is positioned for maximum performance. Both Hydrojet tubes are installed at the factory free of charge providing flexibility at the time of installation. |
