The water treatment industry is a vital and growing part of Canada’s economy in communities across the country. Our industry directly and indirectly supports more than 10,000 jobs, paying more than $500 million in wages in Canada. We generate $3 billion in annual economic activity, and provide over $720 million in federal and provincial revenue each year.

Navien’s new backlit EZNav™ control panel uses simple text and icons to make set up, operation status and troubleshooting faster and easier than ever before.

With Navien's Ready-Link® cascading technology, when a unit gets up to 80% capacity the next unit will turn on to help meet requirements. The flow on demand ratio will continue until all 32 units are generating hot water as needed. The Navien cascading system also balances out the workload of each unit for longer life.

Navien’s patented ComfortFlow® system is the first to include a buffer tank, recirculation pump and fine-tuned controls into a tankless water heater, resolving the cold-water sandwich effect* and issues of minimal flow rates commonly found in other tankless water heaters.
