The 4.5 has 4500W elements, and the 5.5 has 5500w elements. The biggest difference between the two is the recovery time. To be clear, the water does not get any hotter with a higher wattage water heater, nor does the water get hotter faster when it’s being run. The difference is how long the storage tank takes to heat up again once the hot water in the storage tank has been depleted.
Thank You for contacting Rheem, unit wont have a neutral but it would be best to go over the use and care when installing the unit.
Hi Precious and thank you for your question. You would need to contact the place of purchase to ask about return/exchange policies.
Hi and thank you for your question. In order for the unit to work at peak you would need 30 amp.
Hello SP, Thanks for asking, While we always recommend having a licensed professional install your product, it would not effect your warranty in any way to self install the unit.
Hello Jamie, Thanks for asking, all of our residential gas units come with heat trap fittings, however they could easily be replaced with fittings that don't have heat traps if you so desired.
Hello SKO, Thanks for asking, This should not be an issue, you will have slightly less wattage of course, but the heater will still be operational
