What The Essency EXR Is
The Essency EXR is an on-demand tank water heater designed to give homeowners longer-lasting hot water by combining some of the best advantages of traditional tank and tankless systems in one. That is the direct answer, and it is what makes this unit so interesting. There has never been a water heater described here as thoughtfully crafted as the Essency EXR, and its design sets a new standard by delivering an 80-gallon FHR in a 55-gallon footprint. Instead of consuming the 55 gallons of water stored in the tank, the EXR uses that static water as heat storage. When you draw hot water, domestic water runs through a heat exchanger, where heat from the storage tank water is instantly transferred to the domestic water before it reaches the tap. In plain English, that means you get a high-capacity hot water solution that works differently from the systems most homeowners are used to. For families tired of running out of hot water, that difference can feel pretty exciting.
Why This System Stands Out
One of the biggest reasons the Essency EXR on-demand tank water heater stands out is that it brings tank and tankless advantages together in a single solution. SmartCore Technology is designed to achieve a maximum flow rate lasting longer than any other, which helps explain why this system can replace an 80-gallon tank or even two 40-gallon tanks. It also gives homes that are currently running out of hot water from an existing 55-gallon unit the ability to enjoy an 80-gallon FHR in that same 55-gallon footprint. That is a big deal for homeowners who want more performance without giving up more space. The EXR also offers a plug-and-play path for homeowners who want to leave gas behind and get rid of fumes and exhaust pipes, all without needing electrical upgrades. It is also described as the easiest water heater replacement on the market, regardless of the technology being replaced. For a home upgrade that sounds advanced, it is refreshingly focused on making life simpler, not more complicated.
Why The Tank Matters
The tank itself is one of the most interesting parts of the whole design. Built from the ground up around an advanced double-wall polymer tank, the EXR is engineered to last 30 years. The tank is filled only once during the unit’s initial installation, and that water stays in the tank throughout the life of the water heater. Because the tank is built of polymer composite, scale cannot form inside it. That matters because less scale inside the tank helps increase the life of the tank by decades while also extending the life of key components such as the heating elements. On top of that, the atmospheric tank requires no relief valve or expansion tank, which helps make setup easier. The unit is also compatible with all types of recirculation configurations and includes an elegant touch screen design with custom modes for performance and savings. Add in one-touch Bluetooth pairing and the MyEssency app with automatic software updates, preemptive alerts, and peace of mind, and this starts to feel like a very modern answer to a very old household problem.
