UP TO 96% EFFICIENT

1.  The quiet, brushless DC blower prepurges the 

submerged combustion chamber for 8 seconds 
and turns off.  

2.  The hot surface igniter is energized and glows red 

hot.

3.  The blower turns on, precisely mixing air and gas 

for combustion.  The mixture is forced through the 
metal fibre burner and is ignited by the hot surface 
igniter.  A blue flame is evenly distributed across 
the entire burner, resulting in clean combustion 
with low nitrous oxide emissions.

4.  The combustion chamber wall transfers high 

temperature heat from the flame to the water.

5.  The blower pushes hot combustion gases through 

the spiral coil, which scrubs theremaining heat 
from the hot gases.

6.  As combustion gas exits the bottom of the spiral 

coil, it is barely warm to the touch.  Up to 96% of 
the heat from the flame is transferred to the water.

7.  Combustion gases are vented through ULC S636 

plastic pipe. 

8.  Condensation formed by cooled combustion air 

is captured by a condensate trap and drained 
through a drain line.

Polaris® High-Efficiency Residential Gas Water Heater 

The perfect choice for combi systems

THE QUIET WAY TO EFFICIENTLY HEAT WATER

An ultra quiet radial blower is combined with a submerged burner for 
whisper quiet operation.  Indicator lights illuminate when the power is 
on and when the igniter and burner are operating.
