AquaStar 38B NG, 38B LP specifications Features, Unpacking The Aquastar Heater

This well engineered, gas water heater has all the fea- tures a water heater should have:

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 trans- fer 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.
