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 80-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 80-gallon electric model. Microban® protection on a Bradford White 80-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 80-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.
