Customer Reviews
Installed this unit recently to convert from a tank to tankless water heater system.
The unit came packed in an amazon box that was way to big for the original manufacturer's box inside. this allowed the original box to slide all over during shipment and upon delivery the package looked "roughed-up" When i removed this outer "amazon" box the manufacturer box was still in tact and in perfect condition. Opening up the packaging, everything was in place and protected with styrofoam, accesories were all accounted for and nothing was missing.
I opened the front panel of the unit to check what was inside and found everything well fastened and fitted well for the unit's size. I also wanted to see what they were using as a thermal protection from freezing as this unit is supposed to protect down to -30. i saw lots of little ceramic heaters placed all around the water pipes in and out of the heat exchanger fastened with a durable-looking metal clip. all the remaining wiring was tied off to the side and everything looked very clean and professionally done.
I installed this unit as per local codes and the instructions. The unit was easy to install (after all of my plumbing modifications to accept the unit) and the unit started right up the first time with no problems at all.
some things i noticed upon start-up is the lack of noise, this unit is VERY quiet. i expected to hear when the unit powered up and expected exhaust and steam to be flying out of the exhaust vent on the front of the unit. I got neither of these symptoms. the unit is barely audible, and the flue gasses and steam gently float out of the front of the unit.
The control panel seems a bit cheap. by this i simply mean that it feels super light and just has a cheap feel (not sure if i can really explain what cheap feels like but some people will know exactly what i mean) but, this did not affect performance thus far and the panel started right up with the unit as well and is functioning properly. the unit came pre-set to 120 degree water temperature. This was pretty accurate as i measured 112.6 at the furthest faucet (about a 35-40 foot run in a semi-heated crawlspace during winter) with a digital gauge. The temperature drop at this faucet is not the fault of the heater as this faucet pipe crosses into a "cold" section of crawlspace before going through the floor into the kitchen. another faucet at about 30 feet reads 121.3 degree water.
this unit has so far operated flawlessly without having to do anything at all to "make it work". i turn on the hot water tap and it delivers. I have not yet seen any condensation buildup on the outdoor walls near the unit but we have only been using it a few days and the outside temperature has been fluctuating above and below freezing. if i run into any problems related to outdoor weather and/or freezing temps i will follow-up on this review. so far i am happy with the price paid for this unit as it was about the same as a 50 gallon tank heater i was considering.
I purchased this a year ago (outdoor model - I live in Florida) for an in-law place behind my house. I have a Rinnai tankless on my main house - this unit works comparable. Note, there is more delay in delivering hot water than a traditional tank-heater, even if the heater is located close to the point-of-use. Also, on very low flow (such as doing dishes with the water on low), there is not enough flow to trigger the heat in the unit (same with Rinnai).
My Rinnai was professional installed - they used Webstone. I ordered from Amazon Webstone 44443PR 3/4" NPT for Tankless Water Heaters. The Ecotemp is 1/2", but comes with a 3/4" NPT adapter. The valves allow you to circulate an acid wash through the coils periodically to remove scale build-up.
I also struggled somewhat to find the right gas hook-up. This heater is 135K Btu, which exceeds the capacity of typical flex gas hose available at Box Store home improvement centers. I ended up plumbing 3/4" black-iron pipe to the heater rather than flex. Bottom line, it's a little tricky to get all of the plumbing parts synched-up. But other than that, the actual install is simple.
Works similar to the Rinnai which is twice the price. No complaints.
