Dedication to Quality
Each American Heat Tankless Water Heater must pass a rigorous three phase testing and inspection process prior to shipment:
PRESSURE INTEGRITY TEST
Each unit is pressure tested with air and water at 150 PSI to insure against leaks. This is over 3.5 times the water pressure that the unit will experience in a typical residential installation. Please see the internal view of the American Heat Tankless Water Heater (Model AH-21 shown) below for more details. All of the models utilize the same parts and technology, but have varying sizes and numbers of heating elements.
ELECTRICAL INTEGRITY TEST
Each unit is connected to a dialectic testing module that sends a 1,000 volt current surging through the unit for 1 millisecond to verify that there are no short circuits and that the unit's circuitry is properly configured.
SPECIFICATIONS LEVEL TEST
Each unit is temporarily attached to a testing station that duplicates the conditions present in a typical installation. The unit is turned on and the temperature of the water produced by the unit is measured at several flow rates to insure that the proper temperature rise specifications are met and that the unit self-regulates with the varying flow rates.
