Performance 29 Gal. Tall 6 Year 30,000 BTU Ultra Low NOx (ULN) Natural Gas Tank Water Heater

It's a good water heater but I really think it's a very bad idea to have a completely flat bottom. There is no standoff or even rim to pull the metal bottom off the floor. This means even a small amount of moisture has no way of easily evaporating. Most other heaters have legs or ridges to allow air circulation. Hopefully it won't rust. Overall I like the reem products but this seems like a crucial flaw.

just installed a couple of weeks ago, everything seems to be working great. I started on the high setting but it was to hot so now it's set on low which it great, way more efficient that my 20 yr old one. When you light the pilot the first time you need to look upwards through the glass window to see that it's lit.

Delivered and professionally installed. Sensor didnt work not once giving an error 9 code. Called rheem customer support sucked but luckily my professional installer told them send the sensor or he takes back the water heater to get another. Rheems home troubleshooting of a subpar product stopped right away and they will be sending a new sensor. Not suprised rheems customer support hardly knew english or anything about water heaters.... Im sure it will all work fine in the near future but if i would have known a new unit for 1500.00 i would still have to wait 4 days for hot water i would have bought a different brand somewhere else so my wife and newborn have warm water. As for the installer id give him 5 stars as he knew what he was doing and couldnt have changed the outcome.

Great product bought this for my rental property and it’s very efficient and tenant is very happy with the product Would recommend it

Works great. Seems to be of high quality. Easy to get started.

Works great.

So far so good it's working like a champ

Everything hooked up as planned. But would only run for a minute before it would shut off and the led would flash red. Called support and was on hold for 32 minutes. End result is they’re going to send me a new part and have a technician call me. Estimating the repair to be 3 or 4 days from now. No hot water for 3 or 4 days on equipment I bought 5 hours ago. Not awesome

I just bought the rheem water heater, It was installed yesterday by a friend of mine. Beautiful heater, gives a great amount of hot water. Our old one was 12 years old, still worked but wanted to replace it before it started going out. Thanks

Know that when you pay more for the "high performance heaters" you are basically buying oone that is expected to last longer, such as in a 9 or 12 year vs this this is at 6 years. You're basically paying for an extra anode rod. Minerals in the water attack metal, and manufacturers put in anode rods so the minerals attack the anode rod first. After the anode rod is eaten up it attacks the tank, causing it to leak. Tanks with longer warranties usually have dual anode rods. Commercial water heaters have 3-4 anode rods, typically with an option to add a 5th one in the clean out(residential water heaters don't have a clean out). Yes, you can get this basic model with one anode rod but know that is it is extremely hard to change out. The anode rod itself is only $10-20 but you need a commercial grade impact driver, not your typical one for screwing in deck screws. The house I installed this Rheem in said they used to have to turn the temperature on the highest setting to get hot water. With the new tank, they only had to turn it to "A" and it's just as hot. They were probably heating up a few inches of calcium deposit. Attached are pictures of an anode rod I've been able to get out along with the amount of calcium I've removed from a 100 gallon, 100,000 BTU commercial water heater; over 30 lbs of it after 8 years!
