ASHLAND CITY, Tenn. — A. O. Smith, a provider of water heating and treatment, added the X3® Scale Prevention Technology to its full line of residential condensing gas tankless water heaters. Designed with both consumers and contractors in mind, X3 Technology prevents scale buildup in a tankless unit, eliminating the need for routine descaling maintenance, tripling the expected lifetime of a unit and enabling it to run at like-new performance and efficiency.
“We continuously hear from technicians and homeowners that scale buildup is the number one issue with tankless water heaters,” said Robert Aldrich, residential segment development leader, A.O. Smith. “This buildup can shorten a unit’s lifespan, increase unnecessary repairs and maintenance costs, and decrease efficiency. After years of in-depth research and testing, we’re proud to be the first water technology company in the industry to offer its tankless water heaters with scale prevention technology.”
