Eternal GU120 is the affordable and flexible alternative to traditional tank water heaters in retrofit applications. With the hybrid, you get endless hot water with minimal pressure drop and 96% thermal efficiency. Its lightweight compact design, 1/2” gas line capability, top mounted water connections, and PVC venting allows for easy installation in any home. The GU120 also comes with a 15 year residential no leak warranty.
The GU120 can run up to two applications endlessly! With
Eternal’s patented hybrid technology, you don’t have to give
up water pressure, worry about cold water sandwiching, or
plan when to shower in your home.
Eternal is compatible with most recirculation systems, whether
it’s a dedicated return line or under-the-sink retrofit pump.
The built-in reserve tank within the heat exchanger makes
instant hot water possible. Optional feature. Consult your
authorized Eternal dealer.
