Bosch Tankless Water Heaters
Save on energy and space with a Bosch tankless water heater. These tankless water heaters never run out of hot water offering you constant comfort. They are cheap to operate and are without a doubt the most energy efficient water heater on the market. Designed to last 20 years, Bosch tankless water heaters are small, lightweight and will hang on the wall in your bathroom. We carry both the electric and gas tankless water heaters. Two of our most popular gas units include the GWF635 and the GWF425 listed below. If you go to www.protankless.com, pick the model number that you are looking for and email it to us, we will get you a quote.
| GWF635 Powerful enough to supply two showers* running simultaneously. Our most powerful offering. Certainly the engineers at Bosch have outdone themselves — the beauty of this unit is in its simplicity. The 635 ES requires no special tools to install or maintain. And its compact size and sealed combustion enables installation in small spaces. A built-in power vent makes both vertical and horizontal venting possible while the electronic ignition maximizes energy efficiency. This unit yields enough power to supply two showers simultaneously and features an adjustable temperature control for improved comfort. H 23½” x W 15¾” x D 8½” |

| GWF425 Patented Bosch Hydro-Generated Ignition Technology. The Bosch engineers have proven that water can indeed make fire. The pilot is ignited by a super-concentrated spark generated by a micro-turbine. The micro-turbine is activated by a request for hot water in the house. This energy efficient technology makes the 425 HN ideal for households looking to maximize energy savings. H 29¾” x W 18¾” x D 8¾” |

Gas or Electric Tankless Water Heaters
There are two main types of tankless water heaters: electric and gas/propane water heaters. Choosing between them depends on how much you want to spend, whether you have access to gas/propane, how much electricity costs and where you live. Most people choose a gas water heater because the cost of gas is approximately one third that of electricity. Gas tankless systems also have wider applications because they produce hot water at higher flow rates. An electric tankless system is an appropriate choice only when gas is not an option and no space is available for a tank hot water heater.
| Model | GWF425 | GWF635 |
| BTU Input | 117,000 | 175,000 |
| Energy Factor | 0.78 | 0.85 |
| Effciency | 82% | 87% |
| Ignition | Hydro-Generated | Electronic |
| Capacity | 4.25 gpm @ 45°F rise | 45° F rise / 6.35 gpm |
| Weight | 44 lbs | 47 lbs |
BTU Inputs- While a typical gas storage water heater has a gas input of 40,000 BTU/h, a gas tankless heater can use up to 175,000 BTU/h and may require larger gas lines and vents than conventional water heaters.
Energy Factor – describes the efficiency of both tank and tankless water heaters. The higher the energy factor, the more efficient the heater. Because tankless water heaters don’t have the losses associated with tanks, their energy factors are normally higher (although well-insulated, ultra-efficient tank heaters also have high energy factors). Energy factors for gas tankless water heaters range from around 0.69 to 0.84, compared with 0.55 for a conventional tank and 0.86 for an ultra-efficient tank heater.
Electronic Ignition – unless you use a large amount of water, an electric ignition is your best bet where water use is lower, i.e., in your own home.
Size or Capacity – choose the model closest to your flow rate and temperature rise needs. Choose the capacity during peak demand based on the number of users, the number of showers or bathtubs, whether or not you have a dishwasher, and how many hot water devices you expect to have open at one time.

Submersible Pumps
Irving’s Plumbing distributes submersible pumps for a variety of applications. A submersible pump is a water pump designed to be fully immersed within a tank or storage water container. The pump’s motor is usually sealed in oil-filled cavity protected from contacting the water. A submersible pump is used to move water or waste water from a lower pressure area to higher pressure area, and overcomes this difference in pressure by adding energy to the process using a motorized pumping system.
Main Features
The most important features to consider when choosing a submersible pump includes its 1) horsepower rating, 2) its maximum discharge flow – the flow the pump is designed to generate, 3) the maximum discharge pressure, the pressure the pump is meant to produce, and 4) the size of the discharge outlet connection.
Applications
Submersible pumps have a number of distinct applications: pumping large solids or grinding solids to smaller sizes, to moving wastewater at large flow rates or high pressures, to simply pumping up water off the floor or the bottom of a tank. Depending on the design of the pump, some can be used for handling sewage, for moving solids like sand or moving water in an irrigation system.
We offer the following three models from Liberty Pumps: S37 Series | 240 Series (247) | 250 Series (257)

Sewage Pumps
Irving’s Plumbing offers high efficiency sewage pumps at wholesale prices. Designed for pumping sewage and/or waste water in places where the septic system is higher than the home’s main drain, our sewage pumps will pass the wastewater with solids through a discharge line without cutting or grinding them. In a typical sewage system, the wastewater moves through a main drain into a holding tank where the sewage pump is located. A float switch wired to the pump acts an automatic switch, and turns the pump on and off as the level in the holding tank rises and falls. Since these pumps move sewage as well as water, they are rated for the size of solids they can move as well as how much water they can lift.
Main Features
The most important features to consider when choosing a sewage pump includes its 1) horsepower rating, 2) its maximum discharge flow – the flow the pump is designed to generate, 3) the maximum discharge pressure, the pressure the pump is meant to produce, and 4) the size of the discharge outlet connection.
Applications
Sewage pumps have a number of distinct applications: pumping small to large solids, to moving wastewater at large flow rates or high pressures, to simply pumping up water off the floor or the bottom of a tank. Depending on the design of the pump, some can be used for handling just water, for moving solids like sand or moving water in an irrigation system.

Other Pumps
Irving’s Plumbing distributes other pumps for moving water in a plumbing system. A submersible pump is a device used to move water from a lower pressure area to higher pressure area, and overcomes this difference in pressure by adding energy to the process, i.e., a water system. Energy is added to the process by means of mechanical forces to push the water by physically lifting the water or by the force of compression.
