Question 5

What is the difference between the Lowboy, Standard, and Tall 40-gallon Bradford White electric models?

Accepted Answer

The Bradford White 40-gallon electric water heater is available in three height configurations — all holding 40 gallons at the same price. The Lowboy is short and wide, designed for low-clearance spaces such as under stairs or in tight utility closets. The Standard is the classic upright profile. The Tall is the slimmest profile for tight footprints. Our technician will verify the correct configuration for your space on site.

Question 6

What is Bradford White's Vitraglas® lining and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Bradford White's Vitraglas® is a proprietary enamel lining fused to the inside of every Bradford White tank at high temperature, creating a glass-like barrier between the water and the steel tank wall. The Vitraglas® lining on a Bradford White 40-gallon electric water heater prevents corrosion, resists scale buildup, and is a primary reason Bradford White tanks outlast most competitors in Southern California's hard water conditions.

Question 7

What is Microban® protection and how does it benefit a Bradford White water heater?

Accepted Answer

Microban® is a built-in antimicrobial protection technology that Bradford White incorporates into the components of every tank, including the 40-gallon electric model. Microban® protection on a Bradford White 40-gallon electric water heater inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew on product surfaces — providing an additional layer of protection that standard water heaters do not offer.

Question 8

What is Bradford White's HydroJet® Total Performance System?

Accepted Answer

Bradford White's HydroJet® Total Performance System is a cold water inlet design exclusive to Bradford White that delivers incoming cold water to the bottom of the tank through a specially engineered dip tube. On a Bradford White 40-gallon electric water heater, the HydroJet® system reduces sediment buildup, improves recovery efficiency, and extends the life of the tank compared to standard dip tube designs.
