Indirect Water Heaters - Bradford White - Ecostor™ SC Solar

Indirect water heaters offer an innovative and energy efficient design due to being powered by solar energy. The unique and innovative technology is the backbone of this series of water heaters where the water heater is fitted with an internal single-wall heat exchanger.


The solar water heat system is available in three models with different capacities thereby giving users the flexibility to choose the model that would suit their requirements. A Bradford White Solar water heater offers all the standard features that one expects from a credible and a reliable water heater brand.

Unique Features Of This Solar Water Heat System

  • This series of Bradford White solar water heaters are available in three models with different capacities that ranges between 60 to 115 gallons.

  • To enhance efficiency, a dual or single heating element is also available that offers heat when the demand is not met through solar energy.

  • The indirect water heater is fitted with sensor wires around the upper and lower covers that help in connecting thermistors to a solar controller.

  • The internal single-wall heat exchanger allows the heated water to flow from the solar collector through the coil thereby transfers heat to the surrounding water.

  • The water heater tank is lined with Vitraglas lining that offers protection from the wearing effects of hot water.

  • This series of Bradford White Solar water heater also features automatic temperature controls.

  • The non-cfc foam insulation helps in minimizing heat loss and thereby enhancing operating efficiencies.

  • The anode rods offer protecting against any kind of corrosion.

  • The water heater is also fitted with heat element that directly transfers heat to the water.


EcoStor™ Indirect Water Heater System Overview

Bradford White Ecostor Solar Indirect System offers an innovative and energy efficient water heater that offers a continuous supply of hot water without high operating costs. The water heater features the unique technology of the internal single-wall heat exchanger that lets heated water flow from a solar collector through the coil and in the process it transfers heat to the surrounding water.

If one wants to increase the heat efficiency, then one can even apply a single or a dual backup heating element that makes up for the heat when the demand is not met through solar energy. This particular factor ensures that one can even enjoy hot water when the indirect water heater is not sufficiently heated through the solar power.
