Description

The concept of stone-lined water tanks is not a new one, and has been proving successful against corrosion for ages. Many of the stone-lined tanks are installed are 25-30 years old. In fact, the New England area has been using stone-lined tanks for years due to their water supply being very acidic and has been devastating to glass lined tanks.

What makes the Alliance SL unique is the Hydrastone-lining. This one half inch lining protects the steel tank from the corrosive action of water. When the water first enters the tank, it is absorbed into the Hydrastone-lining permanently. This water loses its oxygen and becomes inert, non-corrosive water which then acts as a protective wall between the hot water and steel tank. This unique process and design makes Alliance SL water heaters a great choice for domestic hot water applications.

Ten-year warranty is hard to beat

We picked this hot-water heater because of its 10-year warranty and stone liner, which is supposed to guard against corrosive water. Our last tank, a Weil-McClain, rusted out after just 8 years. The new tank arrived on time, unblemished. The customer service at SupplyHouse was excellent. Our plumber installed the tank without incident. One downside: It's heavy as, well, stone. The tank weighs more than 300 pounds but our plumber still managed it by himself. Resourceful guy. Hopefully we'll never need to test the 10-year warranty. If we don't report back in a decade you can assume the tank is a winner.

Unit failed after 3 years!

This water heater started leaking after 3 years. This was noticed by the serviceman doing the routine annual service on my oil-burner. I called "Supply House" which looked me up in their computer, assured me the unit was under warrantee, and shipped a replacement within a few days. Thanks, guys!

Fast Delivery

I had 2 Utica indirect hot water heaters from a different company and both failed at the welds within 3 yrs. You could see the rust within the stainless steel metal. Obviously a very cheap grade stainless. I'm hoping this one lasts. The only minor issue I had was apparently you have to go on line at Supply House to get the warranty card. Not sure, haven't done that yet. But why doesn't it just come with the heater?

Quality build, straightforward install, great design.

I'm on my 4th indirect tank in 25 years, hydronic boiler. Last tank leaked at where the boiler supply fitting was welded to the tank. I loved the concept of hydra stoned (cement) lined with no anode rod and removable top feed heat exchanger with brass fittings. Went from a 43 gallon prior to a 35 gallon, noticed no degradation in hot water supply (which was and is still great). US Boiler put lots of thought into this design to address typical tank failures, and I love it!

Great product for the price.

I ordered a 35 gallon tank but was sent a 50 gallon. Had a small issue fitting it in the space due to larger diameter than the 35. Had to remove a door and jamb. But the customer likes the bigger tank to be able to fill the jacuzzi tub that wasn't used before so it all worked out fine!

Prompt & personal customer service

The original water heater we ordered arrived damaged . We contacted the company that day & they arranged for a pickup of said water heater & replacement immediately. In a world where customer service goes by the wayside, dealing with supply house was a refreshing change. I would highly recommend them.

Directly Happy

I did the installation myself - DIY baby. Very easy hook-up to a combi boiler with a Taco 3 zone controller. The stand alone tank is an improvement as in "no lag time" to get hot water to fixtures and no "cold water sandwiches." I decided on this one as opposed to Triangle Tube and the Superstor, because of "no welds" through the tank.... a completely serviceable heat exchanger and no risk of corrosion at the welds - yes, those have leaked in spite of SS... see YouTube. Only one con: Heavy.

First time customer for PexSupply

Unit works perfectly. Plenty of hot water for the two of us and have not run out. Outside unit stays cool, so standby loss very minimal. Compact. Easy to plumb. Electrical instructions very lacking. When combing with different manufacturers to create hvac unit creates real problems, Taco controler, Dunkirk boiler, Honeywell & Taco zone valves, both fin and tube baseboard heat, radiant floor, inline Taco circulator, ended up getting engineer assistance. Wiring not even close to instructions but I guess not their fault. PexSupply-very satisfied. Shipped on time but when dealing with freight transport-be patient. Plus snow storm during shipping. Arrived in perfect shape. Well wrapped. Heavy duty pallet. Need lift gate for delivery!

ASK A QUESTION

Q: The overview specs indicate that the minimum boiler output to use any of the alliance heaters is 99000 BTU. Does this truly mean that none of them could be used with a smaller output boiler or does the hot water capacity just get reduced proportional to the smaller size. For example my boiler output is 45000 BTU so 45/99 =.45 when applied to the first hour rating this would be 87 instead of 192, the next hours would drop to 73. Is this how it works?

The boiler output listed is the minimum required to achieve the full ratings given in the specification. Smaller boilers provide smaller output, though it may not be exactly proportional.

I'm not positive but the first hour rating is based on the reserve (35 gallons) plus the recovery. So in this case I think you'd take 192-35=157gal from the specs and apply the 0.45 factor to that. 157x0.45=71 and add 35 for the reserve to get about 105 gallons. Regardless there are likely complications to this that make the difference between our results insignificant.

The water in indirect water heaters is heater by the boiler to which the indirect is connected, whether it is a gas, oil, or electric boiler.

This unit should be big enough. It does prioritize, so the boiler size would not be affected.

Q: What is the energy factor on this product?

The energy factor of this product relates directly to that of the boiler it is connected to. The indirect itself does not carry a rating.

This unit is an indirect water heater and does not make hot water. An indirect water heater is used in conjunction with a boiler for domestic hot water.

Q: Do i need a circulater pump when using with a boiler? If i do what size circulater pump do in need? What is the cost of the additional parts to connect the tank to a boiler. I would be using a gas fired steam boiler with internal coil to feed hot water to the tank. I am split between installing a seperate gas fired hot water tank or going indirect. I believe indirect is more efficant. I have a four bedroom,two full bath house with 4 occupents. Thanks Emile

Yes, you would need a circulator pump when using this water heater. We would recommend the Taco 007 (SKU: 007-SF5) as well as a set of flanges which are sized based off of the line you are running through the system.
