Q:There appears to be a conflict with the required amperage. Description says 18.8 Amps for a 240v 1 Phase power. The manual says for the three 5.5KW = 16.5 KW total 69 amps. Will my 240v 1ph 30 Amp wired system work on this WEC080C3W165 unit?

Was deliverer to HD in good order and on time. Very well packed, easy instructions and easy to install. I have only had it installed for 7 days that's the reason for the good rating if it preforms as it should I would give it 5 stars!

      Arrived with a dent on the back but the plumber said it would not effect the function. Cannot see the dent the way it is installed anyway. This thing is a beast! Easy installation and looks great, Everyone who sees it loves it. Don’t imagine we will be running out of hot water anytime soon!

      Having the heat pump delivered, made it easier to install. Even though it stated it could run on a 12 wire, we had to change ours out to a 10. I love the look of the stainless steel.
