Why Rheem Marathon® electric water heaters?
 

Lightweight Design
Marathon’s lightweight tank is easier to maneuver and position, and features a bowl tank that drains completely
 

Durability
The patented insulation process, seamless liner and tough outer jacket make the Marathon extremely durable

Simple Installation & Service
Unique design allows one-person installation for fast service, lower costs and quick maintenance
 

Lifetime Tank Warranty
Tank is built to last for as long as the homeowner owns their home, and backed by a lifetime warranty*


Dry Fire Protection – Advanced circuity ensures that heating elements only turn on when surrounded by water, prolonging their life.

Patented Insulation Process – 2.5" polyurethane insulation reduces heat loss for greater energy efficiency.

Seamless Plastic Liner – Features a seamless, blow-molded plastic inner tank, so it won't rust or corrode.

Tough Outer Jacket – Multiple layers of filament wound fiberglass give the tank unmatched strength.


*The tank is warranted not to leak "for as long as you own your home." If the home is sold, the warranty converts to 10 years from the date of manufacture. Parts are warranted for 6 years from the date of manufacture.
