A Closer Look:

Marathon® Electric Water Heater

SEAMLESS POLYBUTYLENE TANK will never rust, corrode or leak. What's more, it is reinforced with precision-wound fiberglass for extra strength and durability.

ENVIROFOAM®INSULATION completely surrounds the tank. So you get the most efficient water heater on earth without hurting the planet. In fact, the new Marathon meets EPA standards well into the 21st century.

HEATING ELEMENTS reliably maintain water temperatures inside a Marathon. The top copper element is fused to protect the tank if someone ever tries to operate it without water. The lower Teflon™ coated element has a stainless steel sheath and is designed to operate in the harshest environments.

BOWL-SHAPED TANK BOTTOM so you can drain your Marathon more completely.

UP FRONT AND HANDY DRAIN VALVE is neatly recessed, so it won't get knocked around by brooms, mops, vacuums and kid-honking toy trucks.

AND MORE There are many other little things, our engineers prefer to call innovations, like our factory installed Temperature and Pressure relief valve, a wiring panel that's mounted on the front edge of the heater for ease of installation and screw down thermostats for greater accuracy.

THE NEW MARATHON® WATER HEATER. HERE FOR GOOD™.

Marathon Water Heaters purchased through Consumers Energy must be installed on our electric distribution system. Random inspections will be done after water heater is installed.
