FEATURED STORY
HEATWORKS
Advanced Manufacturing Company based in Mt. Pleasant, SC
Heatworks has a new technology for tankless water heaters. Rather than coils or traditional heating elements that scale and rust over time, their water heaters use patented Ohmic Array Technology to heat the water, endlessly and on-demand. The minerals in the water are used as the heating element. Therefore, the water is free from sediment.
