HTP Water Heater Age Decoder?
Some HTP and Munchkin units show the date of manufacture printed on the data tag as an explicit DATE:MM/DD/YYYY
For other HTP units with no manufacure date appearing on the label, use the product serial number (e.g. found on an HTP water heater data tag),
To REGISTER your water heater or to make a warranty claim you might try to use the HTP Warranty Wizard tool found at
- http://htp.force.com/warrantywizard or at https://www.htproducts.com/Warranty-Wizard.html
but Watch out: we have found that neither of those HTP websites were unctional and niether was helpful in obtaining details like the age of your heater, (May 2021)

Thanks for asking, Eric.
To get at the age of your HTP SuperStor you'll need more than one letter - can you tell me the SuperStor model name and give me the entire serial number? Use the page bottom CONTACT link to send me a photo of the data tag if you can.
Or if you prefer you can call the company directly - I include the HTP SuperStor contact information below.
