American Water Heater Company SE62-119R-045S 120 Gal Tank w/ Element


A solar water heater can save around $ 450 in a year and can keep tons of CO2 emissions out of the air. If that is multiplied by 80 millions houses in the U.S., just imagine how clean we can keep our environment. You can save a lot of money in your monthly electricity bill just for making hot water.

During the winter or cold months, we use a lot of hot water daily. It will be best if you install a 120 gallon American Solar Storage Tank with electric element. If you have a family of five, you will definitely need a 120 gallon water tank for your daily use.

There is two inch Non CFC foam insulation in the heater. This foam insulation is very effective, as it can trap heat within the gas lined tank. This will help a lot to solve energy. An anode rod is fitted inside to ensure longer tank life as it will protect the interior of the tank from corrosion. A temperature and pressure relief valve is there to control both. A prewired sensor lead exists from storage sensor mounting to top of tank. The water connections are accessible from four dielectric nipples located on top of the tank. There is an optional solar heater that has a 4500 watt heating element and automatic thermostat. There is an electrical back up to support the system during the cold or winter months. The heater can take the temperature of the water to a level of 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

So, during the summer months, it can do the 100% heating required on its own. But during the winter months, it can do only 50 to 60% of heating needed. The rest heating has to be done by the support of the electrical system.

The biggest advantage of this system is that you can save a lot of money as your electricity cost. It is very easy to install and operate. The heater has got a life expectancy of 15-20 years and maintenance is needed once in every 2 to 3 years. The product has been made according to the plumbing, solar and electrical code of conduct valid in the U.S.

The price of the 120 gallon solar heater tank is estimated to be $2266, but you may be able to find it discounted by about 28% and get the product at only $1632. Thus, you can save a whopping $635 in the purchase process. The investment made will start giving you return very soon.
