Herkowski Stickler & Associates are excited to offer Bradford White’s latest enhancement to its water heater line. Its proprietary Vitraglas^® tank lining is now infused with Microban^® antimicrobial technology, setting a new standard of protection for the water heater industry.

Vitraglas prolongs the life of the water heater by keeping corrosive elements from reaching the steel of the tank and other components. The addition of Microban antimicrobial technology protects* the Vitraglas tank lining against the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew on the lining surface.

The Microban antimicrobial technology is integrated into the Vitraglas formula and then applied to the inside of the tank, coils, and/or flue tubes during the manufacturing process. After application, the Vitraglas lining is baked on at approximately 1,600 degrees for a hardened, long-lasting finish. Through this exclusive manufacturing process, the Microban antimicrobial technology becomes a permanent part of the coating that continues its protection for the lifetime of the water heater.

Bradford White water heaters are the only water heating products that offer residential and commercial customers this additional level of tank protection. This innovation is a direct outcome of Bradford White’s ongoing research and development efforts in response to a wide range of market, technology, regulatory, and environmental trends.

Antimicrobials have been safely used for many years. The Microban antimicrobial technology used in Bradford White products is silver based, which has been used for decades in a range of applications in consumer and industrial products around the world, including a variety of plumbing fixtures and household appliances.

“HSA is proud to offer this innovative product as part of the Bradford White line of water heaters,” said Joe Herkowski and Steve Stickler, HSA co-owners. “Bradford White continues to be cutting edge in water heater design. We expect our forward-thinking customers will embrace this new safety feature.”

HSA represents Bradford White Water Heaters in the greater Chicago, northern Illinois, and northwest Indiana markets.
