  • Flintstones to The Jetsons.
These systems are amazing. The future is in your hand when you hold one. I fully recommend. Please, however read on to understand them better. Customer support is awesome and available. This 13kw unit worked in my home I went thru two of the 18kw units that would not work. Please read on. You will want one and never look back. These WH’s are complicated. They work awesome in the lab environment they were created in. If your home does not match that lab setting or you can’t recreate it. It will not work. I went thru three of them. YOU WILL NEED. Flow restrictions, preasesure regulators, water softener, filters(?), and a lot of patience tuning it to work. Once tuned however, they are flawlessly perfected at heating water instantly. Wow! the future is in these devices. Why was mine so difficult? I’m the last house from the power company. Literally at the end of the line. And I put in the 18kw unit. They are all super easy to install in both wiring and plumbing, but, what appeared to be my problem was there wasn’t enough physical energy to run it properly. Duel 40 amp req. So it wouldn’t work unless the flow restriction was almost closed. I tweeted and tweeted every possible measure to get it to work. I’m on well water so that incoming cold temperature affects the system and set up on a 40/60. The water rate It was moving was to fast and I never could get both sides of the water heater on. It just would NOT work. It would come on for a sink at half open but when you tried to shower. It would turn off and say E5. Oh how I grew to hate that display. A simple to read display and simple to adjust temperature dial. I literally went from Flintstones to The Jetsons in appearance. About this 13kw unit. WHICH SOLVED MY PROBLEM. It’s a little more than half the power necessary to function. Single 50 amp It is doing its job beautifully now. I have almost full water pressure again and it seems sold at 130 deg. But again, several hours spent tuning so it did work. If the flow rate is to high and water temperature to low it will not work. You have to tune them with additional devices to stabilize them so that units performance in the lab environment it was created in and it needs. I have replaced two tanks now. One electric in a home and one propane in a camper. Worth it! ... show more

  • Works great - learn how to clean with no purge valves
Installed this--my first--tankless water heater 3 years ago. Just my wife and I in a 2 bath home in south Florida (warmer entering water temp than most of US). Been very pleased. Endless hot water with steady temps and no issues with competing hot water demands such as dishwasher, sinks, etc. I've been surprisingly satisfied. A few weeks ago we started noticing a drop in water pressure and some temperature fluctuations. Honestly, though I am reasonably handy and experienced, I had no idea I should be cleaning the heater annually. Long story short - cleaned the unit and everything is back to normal. More detail for those who, like me, had the water heater installed without purge/diverter valves. I had only copper piping and no way to flush the heater. Read about some people who used a plumbing circuit involving a washing machine, but couldn't see that working for me. So, I went to Home Depot and spent about $170 on a purge valve kit, copper fittings, pipe, solder, flux, etc., ready to re-plumb my water heater and install purge valves. As I removed the compression fittings attaching the copper pipe to the heater I thought, "why don't I just attach hoses directly to the unit and skip all the plumbing?" That's what I did and it worked beautifully. In my case, I purchased 10' of clear plastic tubing, cut it in half and attached to the heater with band clamps. Used a 1/4hp pump in a 5 gallon bucket and flushed the tank for around 60 minutes. I changed the direction of the flow at about 30 minutes, not sure whether or not it helped but seemed a good idea. Returned almost everything I bought for the project, went home and took a nice long hot shower. ... show more
