Maybe you should byuy the right brand (RHEEM) and make sure to size it properly. I’ve had mine for 6 years no problems so far

I don’t think there is

@@miamiwaterheater2281 Ok, so would it be OK to tap into the 30amp line that feeds the laundry dryer? Maybe with a "switch" between them so as to only have one working at a time?

Thanks, will do!

Thank you for the kind words glad I could help

i would not recommend tankless for you

so long as the legs are still allowing the gap the diverter is fine

The RTEX18 will work but the RTEX24 would be ideal

@@miamiwaterheater2281my neighbor has the 18kw water heater for a 3br 1 bath apartment and he said in the winter when temperatures drop below 30 degrees the water heater struggles to keep water warm when showering he increases temp to 130* and reduces inlet water pressure by almost 50% just to take a hot shower. he also changed shower head from a 12inch water fall shower head to a small water saver shower head 🚿 so he can take a hot shower. I would also like to ask is it necessary to install some kind of filtration system to extend the life of water heater? He has currently had the rheem 18kw heater for over 2 years now he loves it in the summer but said if he had a chance to do it over he would have gone a little bit bigger. Any insight you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance 🙏

yes it is undersized he should have put in a 24 or 27 kw. as for the filter it depends on the quality of your water, for example in Miami, FL we do not need one unless you have well water. With that said a filtration system isn't going to hurt the unit

i would need to see pictures of the existing heater to figure out how much repiping and materials i would need but we will only install our own heaters not heaters purchased elsewhere because we can't guarantee the condition

we do install our own heaters

@@miamiwaterheater2281 do you also install Rinnai

No you don’t because there is no storage

i would recommend the RTEX18 because of the bathtub. when you are filling the bathtub no one else can use hot water.

r2281 this is good to know. Thank you. 🙂

Thank you😎

the anode from a different brand might not work

I'm not in KY but I'm just a phone call away if you have any questions

I was just checking out your website as you suggested in the video. I may be calling you! Thanks!

I'll be waiting

Thank you for the kind words I'm glad i could help

my pleasure if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask

I agree in part with what you are saying but we have seen the vent put directly on the heater without the diverter and what happens is a pop (explosion like sound) in the sealed burner chamber which in turn breaks the TRD. this is a best case scenario.

if it's the one in the middle of the heater then it's probably not in the slit where it should be on top of the heater

the booster and water herater are connected to each other so they don't run at the same time

@@miamiwaterheater2281Can I pipe in a bypass so I can turn this unit off during the summer? I only need it during the winter where there is limited heat in my garage. thanks!

yes but make sure you turn off the power when you bypass the unit or you will burn the element

Call us we will help you size it 305-633-2656

No the tankless will have the same problem probably even worse

glad I could be of help

aluminum is really only used with well water to avoid the rotten egg smell

You don’t have to until it starts to leak but an eye on it

depends where are you located

Good morning…I forgot to mention that…I’m in Los Angeles, CA. Thanks so much!

yes it will for 1 fixture at a time

@@miamiwaterheater2281 but if I want to run my shower and washing machine at the same time (or the shower and any other appliance at the same time) would you recommend I go up to 18kw?

if you have the power available then yes i would recommend an 18

i would split them becasue you can be sure that the teneants will follow your instructions

you're welcome but the hard water will cause problems with the tankless unit eventually

@@miamiwaterheater2281 Our hard water fucks up everything. A water softener is also on the list of things to buy. The flushing ability of a tankless just seems superior to the current tanked water heater.

thank you

i have no idea what you are trying to say

the sausage anode rod will work

which one was shown before?

@@miamiwaterheater2281 The previous video has the vent holes on the casing.

unfortunately i can't see the order of the videos but if it's a standard residential heater there is no way to clean the sides

@@miamiwaterheater2281 Not a problem. Thanks for responding.

No we didn’t turn down the pressure but we did a new one last week should be posted soon and this one has 2 showerhead running at the same time

@@miamiwaterheater2281 Well .. then something is wrong with my unit - temperature of the output of the heater is not even 90 degrees when the flow is open to max. I had to restrict the input pressure so flow is half of the max to get the water temperature to reasonable. I must say that the previous heater and lesser throughput and.. it worked fine.

what brand is your water heater, maybe I can give you a few ideas of things to check? also if you'd like to call me I'll be happy to troubleshoot with you over the phone 305-633-2656 Carlos

sure so long as the heater doesn't get wet that's fine

you can't you need to buy a new TRD and replace it

this is really made to be installed on top of the water heater and work in connection with the water heater. i would recommend using an RTEX06 instead and installing close to the shower area. another option, so long as there are no young children in the house, is to turn temperature in the water heater up.

@@miamiwaterheater2281 - 2 constrains, young kid & only 1 breaker open so I need the 120V 30 amp. But the wife wants the water hotter in the shower, was thinking it could boost the temp on the hot line to just the shower? Would that work or cause an issue

That video was one of the first videos we ever did but so we didn’t know what we were doing back then. We have done new a videos as well as upgrading our test facility so the answer is I don’t know why the pause

did the TRP trip or was the bottom of the heater full of water

do you have a expansion tank installed? if not then suggest looking into that., that should solve then issue.

expansion tank is for water pressure not problems with the exhaust

Thank you for letting people know that I mean it when I say I’ll help you whether you are buying from me or not

Hot cold usually is a mixing valve in the shower or washer that is telling the heater to turn off and back on. This is the cause of 2:53 hot cold. More importantly if you would have bought the heater from us we give you 2 years warranty on labor and parts you’re only responsible for shipping to and from. So you could have sent the unit back to us and we would have checked it for to make sure the problem wasn’t the heater.

Can i go a size smaller?

No you didn’t go to big for 4 showers and the lights flicker because the electric is not done properly

for a soaker tub i'd recommend a tank heater because a tankless would work but it would take a really long time to fill

thank you for your kind words and if you have any questions please let me know

hope it was helpful

Yes the 13 will work. You will need 240 volts 60 amp breaker. Yes you will need to change the wire to 6 gauge

@@CARLOSSANCHEZ-vz3fp Thank you!

mobile homes have different heaters and honestly i don't sell them so i'm not sure what they look like

Manufactured home or mobile home water heaters. Have a closed combustion set up. There is a direct vent pipe that goes through the floor under the water heater down about 18 inches and that’s where the water heater draws in air from. the vent pipe that’s connected to the top of the tank does not have a vent cap like your showing, It is sealed closed up to the roof.

@@manders78 That is what we see on our modular manufactured and set in 1997. An unused hood vent is sitting right next to the closed system outlet. The outlet is double flue to the cathedral ceiling. Thing is when it gets super windy out of the West, the wind will blow the pilot out. WH is in the very NE corner so it may be getting a down draft off the ridge plus sidewinds. Basic roof with gables North and South. It has a roof top-thing on it that looks more than basic but.. here I am at 8000 feet in the high desert seeking a cure.
