Customer Reviews
I bought this thinking it would work for a sink or small shower w/ water saver head on it. Wrong! it won't put out "hot" or even Warm unless the faucet is almost off at .5 gpm(.4 is the min reqd to activate the unit).... What the heck is .5 gpm useful for? I bought it because it is listed as 2.5 gpm. don't go off that. the factory rep told me these are intended for folks in warmer states with warm ground water.But if the water is that warm comeing out of the ground I don't think I would need a HEATER:)
7KW - 240v is alot i can't figure out why it can't keep up with even 1-2 gpm!?! the unit is flawless in it self other than not heating enuf.
This supposedly works for a sink. We remodeled our house, and instead of running hot water to the kitchen, we decided to add a tankless water heater for the sink. Note that we live in South Texas. When the water heater was installed, it was 30' outside. When I tried to use it, I had no hot water. We thought it wasn't working, so we waited for the electrician. That day, it was 60' outside, and we had hot water for approximately 1 second after turning on the faucet. We contacted Rheem, and their response was, we lived in a "too cold" climate! If South Texas is too cold for this thing, I guess only people living at the equator can get hot water out of it! We have another Rheem tankless water heater, but it is gas. It works fine. Just don't waste your money on the electric ones unless you live in an extremely warm climate.
