WATER HEATERS. You don't heat hot water.
George Carlin once said, "Hot water heater? Hot water doesn't need heating."
these youtubers need to get to the video why all this explaining?
You basically show zero installation
I believe you should have added a pressure release valve and two clean out valves to descale your unit every year or two. That will prolong the life of the unit. Just my two cents
Appreciate the info but why are we having to watch you clean your house now when trying to learn how to install these? Also yea, I noticed "to forward think" or rather to consider the future and probabilities and its complexities aren't your strong suit, it was clear after I spent like what I felt like was 5 minutes watching you clean your house waiting...
This leaves all the details specific to the Rheem 13 out and just tells how to run things in his house.
Truly I wasn't interested in days of our lives . but thanks
I put the 18kw in my house and we are on a well pump and it does not work it throws a E5 code which means the flow is to high but we have horrible pressure because of the well pump so I don't see how anyone can use a 13kw for there home..
Thank goodness I could skip ahead to
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I’m gonna use cpvc. Hate messing with that copper
Great video. Thank you. There aren't many videos showing how to install these thankless units. Very entertaining 👍
Its 2 am, why am I watching? Gotta Git R done. Love the cat. You are a sandbagger, you know what you are doing. NIce job, hope the small unit works in the Phoenix furnace!
Very easy to install, thanks! For those complaining about diagrams, just look at the picture and try not to be an electrician, because you are not if you are asking for them!
I need a 8 GPM tankless unit with all the showering and laundry that is going in my house. I looked at one sold by Lowe’s and for the electrical it requires 3 double pole breakers 50 amp with 3 dedicated cables all 6 gauge copper. Also the house needs 300 amp service from the electrical company and I have only 200amp on my panel right now. Sad moment.
Ty! Nice and easy to understand
Also one good thing about tankless is there is no worry about pressure building up that can drain out via pressure relief valve.
Excellent!
This has been the most helpful video I’ve seen on this. Thank you!!
