Tank Water Heater Waste
It is estimated that 7.3 million traditional tank-based water heaters are disposed into landfills each year in the United States. Keys to preventing the production of waste is to practice the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. With a Noritz tankless water heater you can be sure that the 3Rs are in place.

Noritz & The 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse & Recycle)
 

Reduce
The most effective way to decrease waste is to prevent it in the first place. Purchasing durable, long lasting products is a means of waste prevention. With a Noritz tankless water heater you can rest assured that you will be getting an extremely durable unit. The average tank water heater has a lifespan of 8-10 years, but a Noritz tankless water heater can last 2-3 times longer.

Reuse
Reusing a product may actually be more beneficial than recycling, because it doesn't require any reprocessing before it can be used again. Every part on a Noritz tankless water heater is replaceable, so you won't have to worry about replacing the entire unit if there's a malfunction. Just repair the damaged part and your unit is as good as new. With a tank water heater you're more than likely going to have to replace the whole thing.

Recycle
Recycling turns materials that would otherwise turn to waste, into valuable resources. The main components of a Noritz tankless water heater are recyclable, so there will be a significant decrease in waste materials from a Noritz unit.
