Adapt® Tankless Water Heater Contractor Certification

A. O. Smith’s Adapt® family of gas tankless water heaters deliver robust, on-demand performance and the flexibility to install in practically any residential setting. Adapt® tankless water heaters come with or without X3 scale prevention technology. The models without X3 can easily have this feature added by replacing the bypass cartridge with an optional X3 cartridge sold separately — which can make the heat exchanger last up to three times longer than a standard tankless water heater while maintaining like-new performance.

The A. O. Smith’s Adapt® family features the Adapt®+ Premium Condensing model that has a recirulation pump, the Adapt® Standard Condensing that is available for Natural Gas and Liquid Propane, and Adapt® NC Non-Condensing. All models are available for Indoor or Outdoor installation.
