Electronic ignition provides convenience and safety. A simple flip of the switch from
inside the coach turns the water heater on or off.
Additional features:
Serviceable—95% of all serviceable components are accessible through the exterior door.
This reduces service time and virtually eliminates the need for service personnel to enter
your coach.
Multiple protection features—Problems are prevented with the high temperature limit
switch, thermostat, and pressure and temperature relief valve. An externally sealed
combustion chamber keeps the outside of the unit clean.
Pre-skin installation—Atwood water heaters can be installed and tested on the coach
floor before the sidewalls are set in place. This gives manufacturers more flexibility and
virtually eliminates potential problems by testing the unit before the skinning is installed.
Matching access doors—Atwood access doors are painted with tough, durable paint in a
variety of popular colors which ensures a clean and attractive exterior.
Mounting options—All 6 and 10 gallon models can be mounted flush into the RV
sidewall for an integrated, attractive appearance.
Aluminum clad tank—Less weight and the cladding eliminates the need for an anode rod.
Marine Water Heaters
For more than 30 years, Atwood has designed and manufactured water heaters for
recreational vehicles. Almost 20 years ago, Atwood applied that specialized knowledge
to the marine industry and has now become the industry standard.
Atwood water heaters not only heat water quickly and efficiently, but also deliver every
possible ounce of usable hot water from the tank. Atwood water heaters perform reliably,
assuring customer satisfaction and full use of the hot water benefits designed in your
pleasure boat.
Forgiving incalloy element—Each Atwood electric water heater is equipped with a high
quality incalloy heating element designed to withstand accidental operation on an empty
tank. The electrical system is ignition protected and meets UL specifications.
Safe and efficient heat exchangers—To quickly heat water when under power, Atwood
has developed efficient heat exchangers. Each heat exchanger is specifically designed for
the water heater’s capacity resulting in superior heat-up times. These heat exchangers use
double tube construction, which prevents any possibility of engine coolant contaminating
the fresh water system.
Corrosion resistant exterior—The casing of every Atwood electric water heater is
constructed from corrosion resistant materials and carefully painted to stand up against
the most corrosive marine environments. Special attention to detail on edges and corners
helps assure greater handling safety.
Designed for installation flexibility—The cubic shape and lightweight aluminum-alloy
tank offer greater flexibility for water heater location in floor plans.
