Renowned for its innovation and performance, this water heater is engineered to provide an uninterrupted supply of hot water while ensuring safety and energy efficiency.

One of the standout features of the GSW Power Vented model is its power venting technology. This system utilizes a blower motor to expel combustion gases from the tank, allowing for flexible installation options.
