Great video! The details are amazing.
Thank you very much... and thanks for watching
Thank you. Very detail installation guide
Thank you and thanks for watching
great video,,,good job
Thanks. That's what I was going for. Good luck with your projects!
Noticed that the inner piping in the heater are a bit smaller that the outside pipes, does that affect the temp, small pipe pumping water into larger pipe, temperature has to be affected?
Good question. I'm assuming the smaller diameter piping inside the unit is for better heat transfer to the water in the pipes, or maybe just to save on space. I have not noticed any issues with water temp or pressure and it's been working without issues for the last several months. Once I go through the winter season I'll do an update on this unit to let you know how it kept up with the colder incoming water supply. Thanks for watching.
How much more has your electric bill gone up?
I'm not quite sure yet since it's only been a few months and through the summer when my electric is high anyway. Once I get through the winter I'll be doing a follow up video on how the unit performs through the cold weather and the effect it's had on my electric bill over the course of one year. Thanks for watching.
Stranded or single core wired?
8 ga is going to be stranded. Thanks for watching
We focus on Electric tankless water heaters and are looking for testers to shoot videos. We look forward to collaborating with you and hearing back from you.
If you have requests for collaborations you can send us an email through the Contact Us link on our website. Thank you
why no neutral (white) terminal included?
There is no neutral for 240V. Thanks for the question and appreciate you watching.
You only need one ground wire for each wire raceway installed, not for each circuit. Installing a single larger raceway sized properly for all the circuits is best. That way you only have one ground to terminate.
Agreed. unfortunately the case on the water heater isn't deep enough to go with a larger conduit, probably why it comes with two openings to feed the wiring. Although, since I was running wires and not Romex, I still could have limited the amount of grounds. Thanks for watching and the input..
Probably should have installed at least a sediment filter on the cold side unless you have a whole house system before the water heater. Sediment and scale shorten the life of these things. I’m putting a sediment filter plus a descaler unit because my water supply sucks. I live close to the river that supplies our water.
I also live in an area with poor water quality, and a whole house system is upcoming. Until then cleaning/descaling this tankless unit is happening every 3 months. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching.
Oh boy, i dont feel compelled to comment unless i see a dangerous situation, NEVER use two hands inside a panel, a shock can go i one hand travel thru yur body and stop yur heart, the other, thing i see with wannabe electricians is not using a electric meter to verify, the power is off, its just like using a firearm, always assume it is loaded, i dont mean to be critical, but electricity is serious business, it can kill you😢😢
Thanks for the info. I did use my meter to verify the power was off.. it probably didn't make it thru the editing process.
@@thewoggerswaydiy thanks for the video, my friend.
Thanks for the comments. I'll try to make sure the important things don't end up on the cutting room floor, or at least comment on them. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.
😊
Back at you ... Hope you got some helpful info from the video. After a couple months of cold weather this coming winter, I'll do a follow up video on how this unit is performing. Right now with 100+ temps here it's pretty easy for it to provide hot water since the tankless unit doesn't need to work very hard. The real test will be once we get down near freezing temps. Thanks for watching
