In addition, members will receive up to $6.00 per month credit on their electric bill by having the Marathon connected to the load management system.

All Marathon water heaters come with a lifetime warranty against tank leakage and a six year warranty from the manufacture date on all components for the original owner. If the home in which the Marathon is originally installed is sold, a transferable 15 year warranty is available. The Marathon features Envirofoam insulation which is environmentally friendly and provides an R-value up to 26 so the hot water stays hot reducing running time for the heating elements. The polybutylene inner tank cannot rust or corrode and the low-watt density elements are made to withstand harsh water conditions. The Marathon electric water heater – the last water heater you’ll ever have to buy!
