Triangle Tube - Indirect water heater design virtually eliminates scale

The biggest enemy of your hot water heater is scale.  Scale is formed when the minerals that are suspended in the water collect of the hot interior surfaces of the water heater.  This scale gradually builds and can become several inches thick.  

Scale builds on the hottest surfaces of the water heater, which accelerates the wear on the unit.  The scale acts as an insulator.  As the scale builds, the water heater must work harder to heat the water.  The heat does not transfer well through the scale, which increases the time required the heat the water - which can result in a cold shower !  Since the heat is prevented from transferring to the water, the heating surfaces get extremely hot, which leads to water heater failure.

Triangle Tube's Smart Series Indirect Water Heaters feature a unique design that virtually eliminates scale.  The Smart Indirect Water Heaters feature a tank-in-tank design that maximizes the heat transfer surface area.  The stainless steel interior tank contains the domestic water while the exterior tank contains the boiler system water.  Since the tank is completely surrounded by hot water, the entire interior tank surface is the heat transfer area.  With such a large surface area, the scale does not concentrate on one area.  

In addition, the interior tank is designed to slightly expand and contract as the hot water is drained and cold water is added to the tank.  The temperature change causes the interior tank to contract slightly.  This movement causes any small scale deposits to break free and pass through the system.  The elimination of the scale and superior design of the Smart Indirect Water Heaters allows Triangle Tube to back them with a limited lifetime warranty.
