QuikWater MegaHeater
The QuikWater MegaHeater is the only direct-contact water heating system engineered to produce pure, potable hot water up to 200°F. The MegaHeater delivers 6 to 127.5 gallons per minute of hot water on demand and is the number one choice for food, beverage and other process industries that want to operate smarter, cleaner and more eco-friendly. Engineered with our innovative clean-burn combustion technology, the MegaHeater uses a dry fire process that is safer than conventional boilers and operates with 98% energy efficiency. QuikWater manufactures all of its systems using the highest quality materials for extra long life and extra low maintenance.
The QuikWater MegaHeater is ideal for food, beverage, and other process industries requiring a higher water temperature.
When we say clean, we mean it.
While competitive products are designed with burner flames positioned directly in the falling water, QuikWater's patented clean-burn technology provides an isolated dry atmosphere – eliminating the safety risks associated with standard pressurized systems, and producing the highest fuel efficiency without water contamination or wear and tear on the shell materials.

Heater calculations:
Temp Rise x GPM x 500 = BTU Required
Temp Rise = Hot Water Temp – Cold Water Temp

Heater capacities reduced for elevations above 1000 feet.
Reduction formula for maximum BTU outputs: Elevation – 1000 ÷ 1000 x 4% = BTU reduction precentage
