    LOVE this tankless water heater!! We debated between the Tempra 29 and the Tempra 24. I think the 24 would have been plenty large enough but we decided not to risk it and went bigger with the 29. As a few other reviews stated, you need a minimum GPM for the hot water to kick in. We tested all ours before installation and thought we would be fine, but one of our shower heads and one bathroom faucet were apparently not strong enough. I replaced the aerator in the bathroom faucet (a $2 fix) and removed the O-ring from the flow restrictor in the shower head, and we were good to go. We live in a condo so the added space we gained by removing the old tank water heater was priceless. The unit arrived well packaged and is super quiet when running. It may take 20 seconds for the hot water to come out of the shower furthest from the unit, but it took closer to 30 seconds with the old tank, so that's not a problem for us. Couldn't be happier with this unit!!

    Works great except for flow switch issue
    It heats water like a champ with less power than I anticipated, but minimum water flow is way more than the stated .77 GPM. I can't get it to turn on with less than 3 GPM flowing through it. I'm still evaluating it but thats my initial take.

    It is working wonderfully. A bit of a learning curve with regards to the water temp. I thought I needed hotter water temp than 120* so that I could blend with cold to wash dogs and as it turns out that will trip its safeties. So for longer life span and easier for the unit, 120 -130 * is working out just fine now. Very pleased with it. We had it professionally installed by an electrician and water plumbed in by a plumber.

    Installed for second bathroom. Easy to install as a DYI if you know what you’re doing. I installed with flush valves because of hard water in my area. I know I will need to flush out at least once or twice a year. Otherwise it works great for my second bathroom and water gets hot fairly quickly. I recommend and will buy again.

    Had to adjust the water flow going into the unit. That helped, but I think I need more adjusting. Still takes time to warm up, but once it is hot it is "cool". The unit maintains

    This unit was rated for one shower plus. I could not get enough hot water to function in one shower. I live in eastern Pennsylvania. Bought a larger Rheem unit that works better.

    Doesn't work for California low flow rates
    This unit has a .8+ per gallon flow rate to turn on and you can't change that. Will place a gas tank heater in front of it since my faucets and showers are low flow. Never know in these parts when gas or electric is too expensive, which unit will break, or when the power will go out. You certainly try to buy the best because you can never find a reliable repair service. Another fail for me and them.

    Yes, the activation point is 0.8 GPM. You can change the aerators in the faucets to be up to 1.2 GPM per California standards to ensure the unit activates. If you have any questions, please feel free to call our Technical Support Department at 1-800-582-8423 Ext 6 Thank you. JGMasterSTELogin

            Unit is struggling to heat the water. Have to slow down the bath water to a trickle to get a hot bath. Kinds of defeat the purpose of saving $ ....shower seems to be a bit better. But disappointing to say the least

            I am sorry to hear you are having an issue. Starting ground water temperature and the amount of GPM being asked from the water heater makes a difference in how a smaller unit like this produces hot water. As you can see with the shower being a slower flow, the water is hotter. If you have any further sizing questions, please feel free to call our Technical Support Department at 1-800-582-8423 Ext 6 They may be able to give you some suggestions or make sure the unit is running correctly. Thank You JGMasterSTELogin

              This unit requires it's own panel box with 3 x 40A breakers. Not enough on the shelf at HD and could not find their brand elsewhere. Took it out, returned it all and went conventional. Up front cost errode most future savings.

              This unit usually can fit into a 200 amp service panel for your home. You can find these units on line for sale at many locations. Just google in Tempra 29 and you should find many places to purchase this item. JGMasterSTELogin
