Q:will this water heater work for a 1600 hundred square feet home?
by|Jul 10, 2018
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: Sizing a unit is mostly based on how many points of use you want to be able to use at the same time and what your incoming water temperature is. With all of our units to get a higher temperature increase, you have to reduce the flow. How much you reduce the flow is what will dictate how many points of use the unit can support at the same time.

Q:I have a six unit apartment building. I am considering installing this water heater to serve a single washing machine in a laundry room. Will it provide ample hot water for a hot cycle wash on a standard efficiency washer? Will the electrical consumption be any better or worse than a standard 30 gallon electric tank? Just wondering if it is worth ditching the standard tank. Location is Cleveland OH

Answer This Question
A: Because of how far north you are I would not recommend this unit. To get the water hot enough for the washing machine you would have to reduce the flow down to 1.0-1.5 gallons per minute. That would make filling the washer take a lot longer. It would use less electricity because it is only using power when in operation.

Q:I have a pretty interesting predicament here I got a friend that's living in a camper trailer and she put on demand hot

1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: Our electric units are usually not very compatible with campers. The ones that will get the water hot enough to use usually require too much electricity. The ones that don't require too much electricity usually are not powerful enough to heat the water unless it is already very warm coming in, at least 75 degrees.

Q:Title says 3gpm but specs state 2.25 @ 35F max . How does this product actually perform?
by|Mar 22, 2018
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: With all of our units to get a higher temperature increase you have to reduce the flow. The unit does have a maximum flow rate of 3.0 GPM, but at that maximum flow you will only get about a 25F degree increase. The maximum amount of temperature increase will occur at the lowest flow. At 1 GPM you will get a temperature increase of about 70 degrees.

Q:I have a 75’ run. Copper would cost more than the unit.

Answer This Question
A: Copper is what we recommend. Consult an electrician to see if there would be any problem with running aluminum for that long of a run.
