This well engineered, gas water heater has all the fea-
tures a water heater should have:
It operates on the principle of heating water instantaneously
“on demand”. When a hot water faucet is opened, cold
water flows through the coils of the heat exchanger in the
Aquastar. This same flow opens the gas valve, and the
burners are ignited by the pilot flame. The heat exchanger
coils absorb the heat generated by the burners and trans-
fer heat to the water. When the hot water faucet is shut
off, the gas valve automatically closes and the burners
turn off. Your hot water faucet is an ignition key to turn on
the water heater, giving you control over your hot water
energy use. Each time you turn off your hot water faucet,
you also shut off the water heater.
