These devicies can heat up water from cold to 100 degrees in under 5 seconds. In addition to campers, the portable water heater is used by boaters, pet owners and ranchers for rinsing off horses. They can also be used for cooking, laundry and cleaning purposes too.
These water heaters can be used with along with your hot water boiler to provide domestic water for your home. Your boiler will then be able to heat the home and provide hot water for drinking, cooling and bathing purposes.

While an indirect water heater requires a storage tank, it offers a more efficient choice. By utilizing the heat generated by the boiler, the indirect water heater is able to heat the water that’s circulated through the heat exchanger in the storage tank. The energy stored by the water tank allows the furnace to turn off and on less often, which saves energy. Therefore, an indirect water heater is used with a high-efficiency boiler and well-insulated tank can be the least expensive means of providing hot water.
Indirect systems can be fired by gas, oil, propane, electric, solar energy, or a combination of any of these. Electric and gas-fired are typically the choice.
