Rheem Expands Line of High-Efficiency Smart Water Heaters

Rheem has introduced two new products within its Maximus lineup of high-efficiency gas water heaters. New to the offering are the 75-gallon Maximus Heavy Duty with LeakSense and the Maximus plus models available in 40- and 50-gallon sizes.

The Maximus Heavy Duty with LeakSense is a high-capacity offering at 75 gallons. It provides the same efficiency, performance features and smart options as the original Maximus with LeakSense in a high-capacity version for homes with three or more bedrooms. The MaxMode feature gives homeowners up to 15% more hot water when demand is high.

The Maximus plus models are designed to give homeowners a lower cost, super high-efficiency option with powerful performance. Available in 40- and 50- gallon sizes, the new models provide the same performance found in premium models but with streamlined features, allowing homeowners to get the most for their money.

Maximus was designed with input from plumbers for faster service and flexible installation. With zero clearance on sides, single SKU for PDV/PV and a variety of venting options, it’s as easy as a standard tank install. This family of water heaters is fully serviceable from the front and designed to quickly diagnose with full-text diagnostic information at the water heater.
