Customer Reviews
My traditional tank heater was on its last leg, and I knew it would need to be replaced. I had been looking into tankless models for while. After considering multiple brands with comparable maximum flow rates, I bought the Rheem RTG-95DVN. Key reasons I settled on this model? It had among the lowest minimum activation flow rates, which seems to prevent the so-called cold water sandwich I've heard people complain about. I've done everything I can think of to force this "cold sandwich" to happen, and it just won't seem to happen with this particular tankless model, which is just fine by me. Also, this model does not require the expensive adapter almost all other models require to connect the unit to the stainless steel concentric vent piping.
Installation costs aside, I love this new water heater. For good measure, I had the installer set the thermostat at 130 (10 degrees above the factory setting). For the first time in a long time I do not have to worry about running out of hot water. The water is more than hot enough, even with at least one major appliance pulling hot water at the same time the shower is going. We have not yet exceeded its ability to produce hot water for multiple outlets.
And yes, I also love having the extra room for storage that the traditional hot water heater occupied.
UPDATE - It is now mid-summer in the very hot South. I've been able to reduce the thermostat on my wonderful tankless water heater to 104 for the summer months since the municipal water supply is surface water. The Rheem RTG-95DVN continues to work very well. A very important point to keeping your gas bills low - given the low minimum activation flow rate, keep the tap all the way on cold if you have single-lever taps. Otherwise, the tank will activate every time you turn on the water, unnecessarily raising your gas bill. I figured that out during the first couple of months of owning this water heater.
This was not exactly the easiest DIY project for installation ever, but let me say that it indeed gets the job done- endless hot water- and the water pressure is not affected in the least.
