What Is a R.A.S.E.R.S System?
R.A.S.E.R.S is an energy management system that transfers
The R.A.S.E.R.S system uses three or four standard
energy (as heat) from one area to another. It cools a room
components in its residential systems:
by removing the heat and humidity like traditional air
conditioning, but it also heats fluid in its reservoir for
heating pools, radiant floors, or preheating potable water
for domestic use. It rejects heat to the outside environment
when no heat is needed. Ozone-friendly R410A refrigerant
acts as the transfer medium that moves the heat from air to
water or air throughout the system.

Applications
R.A.S.E.R.S System is appropriate for both residential and commercial
installations—wherever you need energy efficiency, Waters Hot is there.
Residential
Commercial/Industrial
The Residential R.A.S.E.R.S System is a high-efficiency,
The commercial R.A.S.E.R.S Systems are more versatile than
multiple-use heating and cooling system that easily replaces
the residential configuration because they can use multiple air

these processes in a cost-efficient manner, but during the
rejected heat from almost any process or environment, then

moving it to where it’s needed. It readily adapts to almost any
simultaneous heating (pools, spas, hot water preheating) at

or building environment control system. Our commercial
engineering staff provides consultation for custom-designed
commercial, industrial, and agricultural applications.
R.A.S.E.R.S Systems can be installed in a variety of settings:
• Restaurants, laundromats
• Hospitals, schools
• Truck stops, rest stops
• Parks, campgrounds
• Public pools, health clubs/spas
• Agricultural facilities
Because every commercial building or application is unique
and every enterprise has its own needs, there is no common
approach to designing the most appropriate system solution.
To determine how Waters Hot can help your business
drastically reduce process and climate control expenses*,
our in-house engineering staff offers commercial/industrial/
agricultural application consultation through all of our
commercial R.A.S.E.R.S System representatives. Contact your
local commercial R.A.S.E.R.S System product representative
for an on-site evaluation.
*Savings is not guaranteed. Savings and configuration of each R.A.S.E.R.S
System is unique. Your own savings may vary. Factors such as building size,
insulation, building materials, amount of air flow, primary heating method,
occupancy, type of business, and system configuration can all significantly
affect results.

Corporate
Background
Waters Hot, Inc., was founded in 2002 by Kevin Flammang, a
former teacher turned inventor, of Orange City, Iowa.
His interest in energy conservation began in childhood,
building insulated play tunnels with his brother, out of hay
bales and plastic sheeting. His inventive tinkering gave way
to refined engineering—leading to a refrigeration application
design patent (patent #7,040,108) for an HVAC process or
building environment control system. This unique application
design allows for process or building environment control of
heating (air/hydronic/potable water), and cooling. This highly
efficient system was named R.A.S.E.R.S System™ (Reverse
Ambient Solar Energy Reclamation System). Current satisfied
customers include homeowners, restaurants, laundromats,
livestock facilities, and industrial facilities.

By 2009—as the company grew along with its reputation
among satisfied customers—it had:
• More than doubled its employees
• Expanded its Iowa corporate headquarters
• Opened a manufacturing facility in South Dakota
• Gone from a regional to nationwide sales structure
• Offered in-house, custom, commercial engineering
services
• Diversified its product offerings to include both
residential and commercial systems
Waters Hot offers:
• Residential heating (air/hydronic/preheated domestic
hot water) and cooling products distributed through
independent wholesalers/dealers.
• Commercial process and building environment control
products, supported by in-house engineering, and
nationwide representatives.
• Licensed and trained dealers/contractors for proper
installation of R.A.S.E.R.S residential and commercial
systems.
