GSW builds its water heaters to be safe,
energy efficient and reliable. Many components, like our exclusive
Turbulator, are available on most models and can help maintain optimum
efficiency and extend tank life.

Choosing
the Right Residential Gas Water
Measure the space where the existing water
heater now sits (including necessary plumbing, venting and gas connections) and

of hot water during peak usage. All sizes are presented in Liters and US
Gallons. Click on type of water heater and tank size to chose the right water
