This well engineered, gas water heater has been specially
designed to operate with incoming pre-heated water:
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 transfer 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. On the Aquastar “S” model, if the incoming water is
colder than the thermostat setting of the heater, the burners
will ignite to heat the water in order to boost it and maintain
it at the temperature setting. If the incoming water has been
pre-heated, (ie) solar, and this water temperature is warm
then the the burners will modulate down accordingly, or
shut down completely if the temperature is as hot or hotter
than the heater thermostat setting. The Aquastar 125 BS is
the perfect backup to a solar hot water system.
