It’s quite simple: Three elements are better than two!
Three-element water heaters are less power hungry than traditional two-element water heaters. The three elements are less
powerful and require fewer watts at any given time, which is particularly important during peak morning and evening periods.
Even though it heats water more uniformly, it can supply the same amount of hot water as a traditional two-element water heater
of the same capacity.

This element works alternately with the two other elements to
heat water in the upper part of the tank.
The middle element (3,000 watts)
This one works when needed to heat the water over a short
period of time.
The bottom element (800 watts)
The low-power bottom element works almost constantly.

Tried and Tested Technology
A two-year pilot project was conducted with 75 households to evaluate the three-element water heater’s performance.
The study showed that customers do not see any difference in quality between the two-element model and the new
environmentally responsible water heater. In fact, the three-element model is more reliable, since there is less stress
on its electric components.

STANDARD MODELS
1 - INSULATION
A thick uniform blanket of
eco-friendly insulation keeps the water hotter for longer
periods, reduces stand-by losses and energy costs.
contains no HCFC’S (hydrochlorofluorocarbons), CFC’S (chlorofluorocarbons) nor VOC’s (volatile organic compounds).
2 - FACTORY INSTALLED 3/4” NPT DI-ELECTRIC NIPPLES
Extend the life of the water heater by providing excellent corrosion protection.
3 - HIGH QUALITY MAGNESIUM ANODE
Provides excellent protection against the corrosive effects of water and extends tank life.
5
4 - ELECTRIC ELEMENTS
All models are equipped with CSA approved bolt-on immersion elements made by Giant.
These elements can be easily replaced with no special tools, resulting in low maintenance costs.
5 - GLASS-LINED INNER TANK
A uniquely formulated blue cobalt glass enriched with zircon is fused to specially treated steel at
1,600°F (871°C) to provide the best coating available against corrosion for many years. The tank is
certified at a test pressure of 300 PSI (2,068 kPa) and a working pressure of 150 PSI (1,034 kPa).
6 - DRAIN VALVE
Tamper-resistant, one-piece drain valve is installed for easy drainage.
7 - AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Adjustable thermostats will provide years of reliable trouble-free service at the desired
water temperature and a safety cut-off is provided for abnormal conditions.
8 - OVERFLOW SYSTEM
A 90° elbow overflow tube is supplied with each residential electric water heater.
9 - FACTORY INSTALLED TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE
RELIEF VALVE
This valve will protect the tank from the damaging effects of excessive temperature and
pressure.
WARRANTY
Giant residential electric water heaters have a six (6) year limited warranty against inner tank
leakage from the date of installation and one (1) year limited warranty on component parts. For
more specific warranty details including exceptions, consult the owner‘s manual that comes with
each water heater.

All models are suitable for combination potable water and space heating applications.
Toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment, must NEVER be introduced into this
system. These units must NEVER be connected to any existing heating system or component(s)
previously used with a non-potable water heating appliance.
