is welcome What you dont know about your water heater may shock you A blast of cold water may wake you up to it The fact is it may be time to replace your present gas water heater with a new Gulfstream But chances are youll wait until your present one develops a leak and then do something about it But long before then it may be cost ing you tune and convenience because your present one may simply not be delivering hot water when you need it Most often this is caused by the dish washer clothes washer and additional family you didnt have when your tank was installed So today when you need hot water more often your old system cant keep up Remember A larger storage tank doesnt necessanly supply a larger volume of hot water Gulfstream natural gas water heaters work on the principle of fast reheating of water rather than storage So you may draw off hot water when required hour after hour instead of waiting for large volumes of water to heat up What were saying is simple When it comes to replacing your present system remember Gulfstream You can lease one or buy one depending on your choice Youll find its an economical and efficient way to have hot water on hand when you need it But then if youve owned a Gulfstream water heater before that wont come as a shock lo you LIMITED
