Description
–
The NEXT Hybrid gas water heater is designed to improve
upon tankless technology. It's engineered to take the water
heating experience to a whole new level. It's built for the
way people ACTUALLY live and use hot water. NEXT Hybrid
is here and now. NEXT Hybrid is the future of hot water.
How does NEXT Hybrid work?
The NEXT Hybrid water heater features a patented heat transfer process that utilizes a secondary heat exchanger to capture the heated flue gas from the tankless unit and route it back through a buffer tank to extract additional heat. The combined effort of the two technologies creates a superior, more energy-efficient performance.
Conventional water heaters perform well with simultaneous demands because of their stored hot water. However, at times they run out of hot water during long draws because of the lower BTU input. Tankless technology performs well with long draws at steady flow rates. However, due to the lack of storage, they struggle with simultaneous demand from multiple fixtures. Combining the advantages of both technologies, NEXT Hybrid is the best of both worlds!
Combining the best features of tankless and conventional technologies, NEXT Hybrid features:

LOVE THIS WATER HEATER!
I had this water heater installed to replace 2-40 gallon tanks. It is so awesome! I always ran out of hot water in the shower previously, but now I have to get out of the shower because I am tired of hot water! Every person who has showered in my three bathrooms has had an endless supply of hot water! I love this water heater!
Ease of installation was not bad, only thing that took a while was having to reroute plumbing since I completely took out one hot water heater. I have not experienced any noise from this water heater.

Too much hot water? Nah.
I really like this water heater. We upgraded from an old AO Smith 40 gal and this one does not run out of hot water. Ever. Atleast, we haven't been able to run it out yet. It is essentially a 25 gallon tank with a tankless heater unit strapped to the front of it, although it does look fancy with it's plastic on the outside.
Pros:
-I don't think it can run out of hot water and I'll believe this until proven otherwise.
-This unit did fit between the rafters in the attic when we lifted it up and the plastic on the sides can be removed to gain a bit of clearance.
-Smaller than a tank water heater, but not small. -No clearance required.
-Simple electronics and error codes
Cons:
-Price.
-You do have to install a condensation line for this heater which is tough if you don't already have one.
-The exhaust vent is required to be PVC, which we had to change from the old metal roof vent.
-The gas line is required to be solid pipe all the way to the unit, no flex line. The solid line doesn't seem to quite line up with the hole in the side of the plastic on the unit.
-Last, the plastic door hits the drip pan (we used a 28", I would recommend this size) it's sitting in, so we had to sit it on blocks in the pan.
-The unit can be heard faintly through the ceiling when it is running, but this is not noticable unless directly below it and it does not run often (except when hot water is running).
I give it 5 stars because it works so well so far. The price point may still be too high, but it is a great product.

Q: Will this work with two story and radiant floor connected?
Asked by Ray 16 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffIt is not recommended to combine your heating and plumbing combined on this unit. It would be best to have a separate heater or boiler for the radiant system, and a heater for the plumbing. An alternative would be to have a heat exchanger placed in the system separating the plumbing from the heating.

Asked by paul 16 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThis water heater produces 121 gallons an hour, so it should be sufficient. There is no zoning guide available. There is only an installation manual: http://s3.pexsupply.com/manuals/1277918330238/33851_PROD_FILE.pdf

Q: will this work with well water and will it last with iron that is in the well water?
Asked by 16 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThe manufacturer recommends using a potable water source, where the water is filtered and strained as much as possible. It is hard to make a determination of how long this unit will last without knowing the iron level of your water, however, the manufacturer recommends getting the water as neutral as possible.
