HydroJet 

High Efficiency, High Deliverablity, Highly Effective Self-Cleaning System From Bradford White. A clean Tank is just the beginning. Bradford White's new Hydrojet® Total Performance System gives the plumbing trade a strong technological advantage. It applies the laws of physics and augments the power of flowing water to create a new level of top performance. And, it's standard equipment on all Bradford White top connect residential water heaters.* The Hydro-dynamic achievement of turbulent action. The Hydrojet® delivery tube, with a series of concentric 'jet ports', creates an incredible amount of turbulent action inside the tank. Water flowing in the tank encounters a series of up to 30 flow altering 'jet ports'. Set at precise space intervals, these ports redirect the flow to create the dynamic action. Unlike a conventional dip tube where water exits with a weak diffusing action, water exiting the Hydrojet® system is in complete turbulence. This new design is exceptionally efficient, measured to be three to five times better than an ordinary dip tube. The bonus is a surprising increase in deliverablility. Smooth and efficient operation during continual use and in the first hour provide increased volumes of hot water no matter what the capacity of the tank. For instance, the first hour delivery for our High Recovery, Energy Saver, 40 gallon residential gas water heater was 66.6 gallons. But now, equipped with the Hydrojet® system, that same unit delivers 73.3 gallons - a 10% increase! That translates into more hot water for the money. Not simply a device to boost performance, the Hydrojet® system lengthens the operating life a water heater. A common cause of premature tank failure and reduced energy efficiency in all water heaters is sediment build-up. The detrimental effects of this universal problem are interference in heat transfer, lower tank capacity, corrosion, early parts failure and an annoying rumbling noise. The result of all this is a water heater that must work much harder and consume much more energy. Take the sediment for a ride. When the Hydrojet® Total Performance System goes to work, sediment has no place to hide. The turbulent action puts dissolved solids such as lime and other minerals into suspension when water is delivered into the tank. Whenever water is drawn, particles are prevented from settling to the bottom of the tank or building up on the interior surfaces. The Hydrojet® system cleans the tank of harmful deposits every time there's a call for hot water. Not available on utility, tabletop or side connect models.
