At C & R Plumbing, we’re all about bringing energy-efficient, long-lasting solutions to our customers—especially when it comes to water heating. We recently completed a tank-to-tankless water heater upgrade for a homeowner in Sun City, California, replacing their old 50-gallon tank unit with a sleek and powerful Noritz EZTR50 tankless water heater, complete with a scale filtration system.

Why the Noritz EZTR50?

The Noritz EZTR50 is specifically designed as a direct replacement for 50-gallon tank-type water heaters, making it a smart choice for homes looking to upgrade without the need for major structural changes. It mounts quickly, uses the same vent chase, and dramatically improves energy efficiency.

Key Benefits of the Noritz EZTR50:

Endless hot water on demand Up to 40% energy savings compared to traditional tank heaters Compact wall-mounted design to free up garage or utility room space Ultra-low NOx emissions, making it environmentally friendly

Scale Filter Included for Long-Term Protection

Hard water is a common issue in many parts of Southern California, and Sun City is no exception. To extend the life of the new system and keep it running efficiently, we also installed a scale prevention filter. This filter protects the internal components of the tankless heater from calcium buildup, reducing maintenance needs and preserving performance.

Seamless Installation

We carefully removed the aging 50-gallon tank, adapted the plumbing and gas lines, mounted the new Noritz EZTR50 to the wall, and installed the scale filter right before the unit. The system fired up beautifully and provided immediate hot water—all while giving our client more space and peace of mind.
