Boiler to Hot water Tank

Hot Water Tanks/Heaters are very important for restaurants to operate dishwashers and preparation of food. We have served over 100 businesses with commercial hot water tanks. Recently, we received a call from a new restaurant looking for a hot water heater for their business. This is a famous chain of dine in restaurants in Canada and required large supply of hot water. They currently had a gas boiler and storage tank system that was corroded and not working at all. The system was over 20 years old and leaking carbon monoxide which is a lethal gas. We did our calculations and recommended them 2 AO Smith BTH 250 Hot Water Heaters. These hot water tanks have a capacity of 100 USG and can provide almost 200USG of water at 70C per hour. Also, these is one of the most efficient commercial hot water tanks out there. We had to replace all plumbing and install new venting all the way to the roof from the basement. In the end the customer was very happy, the new install provided him enough hot water, energy savings and most importantly CO (Carbon monoxide) issue was resolved.
