Rheem IKONIC Is the New Standard in Tankless Water Heating

Rheem^® IKONIC™ is revolutionizing tankless. Our newest tankless water heater combines super high efficiency with smart technology. The goal is to get continuous hot water on demand and save money during times when you’re not using it. Continuous hot water means families can wash the dishes, load the laundry, cook dinner, bathe the kids and take long hot showers. With the built-in recirculation pump, you can choose when and how you want unlimited hot water. The smart features put homeowners in charge.

Super High Efficiency Unit Leads to Savings

The Rheem IKONIC SR-Series Condensing Tankless Water Heater with Recirculation is an ENERGY STAR^® certified, super high efficiency unit that saves energy, water and money. Since the unit only operates when you need it to, you’ll save about $1,650 over 15 years compared to standard residential 50-gallon tank type model with like fuel type.

The recirculation features can help you save up to an additional 12,000 gallons per year compared to the average water loss of residential water piping.

Local utilities may offer incentives for having this unit installed, and tax credits or rebates may be available. Check with your utility company and state or local government.

Smart Technology Takes It to Another Level

Your tankless Rheem IKONIC unit is another appliance you can add to your smart home products lineup. The Rheem EcoNet^® app on your smart phone will be your go to place to:

Recirculation Provides Added Benefits

You can customize your unit’s operation anytime to make sure it’s best meeting your needs. Since the unit has built-in recirculation, you’ll enjoy endless hot water.

1. Timer Based (Performance or Energy Saver) – pump will cycle on every 15-30 minutes in Performance mode or every 30-60 minutes in Energy Saver mode
2. Custom Schedule (Operates in Performance During Select Times) – homeowners can set specific times during the day for the pump to turn on
3. On-Demand – homeowners can activate the unit by setting the pump to ON through the EcoNet app or directly from the unit
