Customer Reviews
The first unit ordered failed within one month but luckily Amazon fixed that problem for me and sent another. The one they sent worked for 1yr and now it had a melt down. Found a loose wire on a sensor causing a lot of heat and burned the unit up. This wire was supposed to be tightened at the manufacturer and not part of the install.
Also you might want to consider getting a unit with a temperature regulator because water comes out at largly different temperatures from the summer to the winter based on underground water temperature.
This thing works for me! It is the main (only) domestic HW heater for a 1 1/2 bath house, with laundry. Be aware of the electrical requirements before ordering - the 50 amp. line is heavy stuff, and not like running a 14-2 line. For safe installation, do not use the 10 ga. electric line that ran your old electric heater - it's too small. I also had to install an electric shut-off by the unit, per its instructions, which wasn't expected.
I changed my showerhead to a 1.5 gpm flow design (WaterPik eco-flo)to boost the efficiency of the unit. The 2.5 gpm that was replaced could overtax the unit. If you don't have a 'scaldguard' shower valve installed, you may not need to replace the showerhead, but with one, the shower is either all the way on, or all the way off.
It took some tinkering to get the flow and thermostat set where I wanted, but once that was done, it works very well. I don't believe one of the non-thermostatic units would have worked for me.
The internal reset switch needed to be reset once, and killing the power at the breaker, the shutoff, and getting the plastic housing off the unit, finding and resetting the switch, and then reversing the above was a pain. BUT it has only needed to be done once so far.
The extra storage space in the tiny utility room was unbelievable.
