- Easy to Install and Service: The Rheem Marathon is lightweight for one-person, low-cost installation and resourcefully designed for quick maintenance, should problems arise – It’s bowl-shaped tank bottom drains completely and requires no anode rod replacement
- Designed for Durability and Cleanliness: The Marathon’s seamless, blow-molded polybutene inner tank will not rust or corrode like its metallic counterparts, while the outer tank resists dents, scratches and salt air – This tank provides the best durability, the ability to withstand the harshest environments and eliminates smelly water due to chemical reactions
- Saves You Money: Save on your energy bill with the Marathon’s 2.5 inches of polyurethane foam insulation – It minimizes stand-by heat loss, allowing only 5-degree (F) loss in 24 hours
- Yours for Life: Many homeowners replace a water heater every 10 years – Instead, the Rheem Marathon’s durable design is backed by a free warranty upgrade from 10 years to lifetime, if you register online*
