How a Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heater Works
A. Collected
Warm air is collected and cool air is expelled
- Fan pulls air through the upper intake port
- Air passes through a filter
- Eco-friendly refrigerant absorbs heat
- Cool air exhausts through the side outlet
B. Compressed
Air is compressed which raises its temperature
- A compressor pumps heated refrigerant to the condenser tubing
C. Conducted
Heat is conducted to the tank, warming the water
- Heat is transferred to the water in the tank via condenser tubing

Regional Considerations
When sizing a water heater, regional considerations-particularly incoming water temperature and a room's air temperature-are crucial for hybrid heat pump water heaters. Colder regions require larger water heater sizes to compensate for lower incoming water and cooler room air temperatures.
- Select the geographic zone where you live.
- Determine the number of back-to-back showers required for your household.
- Select the gallon size of your Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heater from the table below, matching your zone with number of back-to-back showers required for your household.
Number of Showers per Gallon Size
The 'Number of Showers' calculation is based on an 8-minute shower using a shower head with a 2-gallon per minute (GPM) flow rate.
