Water Heaters Today LLC, a fifth-generation family plumbing business, has launched a technical installation protocol specifically designed for the 24-grain water hardness levels in the Las Vegas Valley. The standard requires thermal expansion tanks and dielectric unions to prevent premature unit failure in residential and commercial water heaters.

Why it matters

Las Vegas municipal water averages 17 to 24 grains of hardness per gallon, which can cause significant issues for standard water heaters unless specific plumbing code standards are met. The new 'Perfect Water Heater Install' protocol from Water Heaters Today LLC is a technical response to address the unique chemistry and physics of Mojave Desert water systems.

The details

The protocol includes requirements for thermal expansion tanks to absorb pressure spikes in closed-loop plumbing systems, seismic bracing for earthquake safety, energy-efficient tankless and heat pump water heater options, sediment traps to manage mineral scaling, and dielectric unions to prevent galvanic corrosion. Installation requirements also vary by neighborhood to account for factors like high water pressure or aging galvanized steel plumbing.

  • Water Heaters Today LLC launched the 'Perfect Water Heater Install' protocol in March 2026.
