HTP has introduced a new residential electric water heater, the EVERLAST Elevate Demand Response, that provides the same amount of hot water as a 100-gallon electric water heater from a 55-gallon tank.
The heater is available in 55 gallon capacity, and includes a lifetime tank warranty and six-year part warranty with online registration. The water heater will be on display at the AHR Expo at Ariston’s Booth N1140 beginning Monday, January 22.
The EVERLAST Elevate Demand Response includes integrated scald protection and I-Memory, a self-learning habit algorithm which ensures users will have hot water when they need it and save energy when they don’t.
Other features include daily scheduling to guarantee hot water is available when it’s needed most; electronic temperature control with an energy cut-off to prevent overheating; a user-friendly LCD display to allow easy view of operational status, parameter changing and diagnostics; a factory-installed pressure release valve; a durable brass drain valve; and dryfire protection, which protects the water heater from damaging the elements if the tank is not properly filled.
The unit offers maximum durability and is constructed with 316L stainless steel and low-watt density titanium elements. The EVERLAST Elevate Demand Response is designed to make installation a breeze; its light weight construction makes it easier to handle than traditional glass-lined water heaters and fits seamlessly into the footprint of a traditional 80 gallon electric water heater. Jurisdictions that require installation of a thermostatic mixing valve will have out-of-the-box compliance.
Performance advantages include a 77-gallon first hour rating (FHR), a UEF rating of 0.94 and up to 115 gallons of 105˚F at the fixture when then tank is set to 170˚F. It meets all efficiency requirements of the Department of Energy and is NAECA III compliant.
HTP is a brand of Ariston Group, a global leader in sustainable solutions for hot water and space heating, components and burners.

A new smart home appliance creates water from the moisture in the air at scale. The WaterCube 100 (WC-100) is an IoT-enabled home and office appliance that is the size of an HVAC unit and sustainably generates more than 100 gallons of fresh water daily from the air around it — enough for a household of four. The WaterCube 100 uses Renewable Water from Air (RWA) technology that mimics nature’s process of extracting water from the air.Designed for ease of maintenance and reliability, the WaterCube 100 represents a technological leap forward and a significant change from conventional water sourcing methods, such as municipal supplies, wells, or drought-prone bodies of water. It supplies homeowners with enough clean, drinkable water to meet their household’s daily water demand, reducing or eliminating dependence on municipal water grids or wells. Created for home or office, WaterCube 100 (WC-100) allows users to produce fresh water quickly. From the moment WaterCube 100 powers on, users gain peace of mind knowing they have clean, affordable water their way.
