Can this water heater be used in a trailer and i a closet
Asked by Larry May 26, 20214
AnswersIf you're installing this in a confined space, you'll have to run some ducting for the heat pump side of things so it can pull in warm air and exhaust the cold air. Other than that, I don't see an issue with it. Worst case, you can run this as a normal electric water heater without the heat pump, but that defeats the purpose of buying this.

Asked by Santanu May 25, 20212
AnswersThis is a hybrid, so in the worst case scenario it will work at least as well as a good electric heater. Having said that, it will work just fine in the winter. Refrigerant boils at a well below freezing which is where the magic happens with heat pumps anyway. This is the same property that allows homes in areas with below freezing temperatures to be heated using a heat pump. You may notice a little more energy consumption in the winter vs summer (although I doubt it given the comparative mildness of the winters in your area) but it will most certainly function just fine.

How far can the electrical outlet (240v) be from the heater?
Asked by Will May 23, 20212
AnswersHi Will and thank you for your question. It does not come with a power cord. D. Wiring ❑ Power Supply voltage agrees with water heater rating plate. ❑ Branch circuit wire and fusing or circuit breaker of proper size. (Recommended 15 amp & 30 amp breaker for select models). ❑ Electrical connections tight and unit properly grounded. ❑ 10 gauge wire. The installer / electrician would check with local codes for final decisions.

I would definitely recommend this product. The very 1st day I got it the results was absolutely impressive. I had hot water in one hour. can you believe that? Plus a key important feature was the fact that since I live in Florida and you know it's hot in Florida My garage was surprisingly cooler Then what it normally is. So my advice to you if you are in the market for a new water heater this is the one you need to get if you live in a warm environment In order to take advantage of all the benefits that it has benefits daddy has. If you live up North then this may not be the one for you Remember is sucks in the heat from outside releasing cool air out to wherever you have this water heater installed. But if you live up North they have a remedy for that and that is duckwork In order to blow the cooler out of your house.

I am a homeowner who generally does all my own maintenance and installation of appliances, HVAC, building skills. These are my impressions after having it for 3 months.
Pros:
The heater was a very easy install. I connected it up to PEX plumbing and had it running within 2 hours.
The app is a nice feature although I hardly mess with it, you can easily adjust the heater remotely or physically on the unit with a nice display.
Cons:
It does put off white noise I would estimate as loud as a microwave. My unit is in the middle of the house so you can definitely hear it when it runs but I am not annoyed by the white noise.
The heater produces condensate (water from the heat pump). This requires drain access of some sort. While I don’t have a drain in the room I have plumbed this to my water softener system.
The heater had an intake and exhaust which cannot be blocked. I have it very close to a wall and it’s almost an issue.
The heater wasn’t in stock and took 30 days for it to be delivered. If this unit isn’t in stock, don’t expect it in a hurry.

Will pay for itself I hope
First impressions: It came well packaged, delivered by a trucking company. Installation was done by a licensed plumber. The LCD display is hard to read looking at the same level, you must look at it from slightly below or the display is unreadable. I finally got the app working after several attempts, somehow it was working with lots of great information and abilities the day after installation. The heat exchanger is quiet and it acts like an air conditioner in my garage, nice cool dehumidified air This hybrid type of water heater is not designed for small enclosed spaces, it needs lots of airspace to function properly, read the manual for details.
The low energy usage is the biggest reason I bought this model. If you compare estimated annual costs of this system to an all electric, it pays for itself in 3 years or less.

Decent water heater BUT
I'll have to admit, I was super excited when we purchased this water heater and had it installed. It worked great from November to March. This month we have been receiving error codes every afternoon. EcoNet Alert - A005 Heat Pump Water Heater Gen 5 Compressor Shutdown: Discharge Temp High and a Hardware Alarm. The unit itself is set to Energy Saver mode. I have called Rheem twice and still to do this no one can give me an answer to what's wrongs. The installer isn't familiar with the units, so thats also a dead end. I was told this unit works efficiently between 40-145 degrees. Yet once the outside temperature nears 70 degrees we seem to get these errors. Any help from Rheem would be greatly appreciated.

Noisy
I do believe there would be a significant cost savings over the long term, but we will likely be paying a plumber to move it. The unit sits in our garage, but we can hear it through about half the house. The noise is not just fan noise which would be ok, but there is a definite hum.

great efficient water heater
been running this hybrid 50 gal for 10days now. according to the app energy use is super impressive . with 3 people each taking one shower per day this unit on eco mode os using about 2.5 kw in each 24 hr period. used 27kw in 9 days thats 3$ in electricity. on that note its awesome verse a standard 4500watt unit. little confused on why the water input port is at almost the front of the unit and the hit output is about 45 degrees to the left of it makes no sence to me. made install harder as trying to put it in spot witout running a bunch of piping the should have been adjacent to each other on the side or rear. the fan does put out cold air so keep that in mind. prob be great in the summer. i love the wifi app for phone. very easy to use.
