Ranein Natural Gas Tankless Water Heater, Indoor Max 3.6 GPM, 80,000 BTU Instant Hot Water Heater

Is good except controller had been used had a scratched up screen

The unit has been received and is as described in the product description. I have given 5 stars right now but it's not hooked up yet so I will have to come back and update my review once we have it up and running. Right now my fingers are crossed that it's exactly we are looking for at the cottage. Hot water is so important especially when you are dealing with cold well water!

Unit at first wouldn’t work at all. Then after it started working it does not keep up to more than one hot water tap on at a time. Then after 2 months it quit working again. Manual and troubleshooting is a waste.

My twenty year old 40 gallon (traditional) hot water heater finally sprung a massive leak, leading me to research LPG heaters that were available. My recollection is that the heater cost around $300 in 2005. The local big box hardware chains had heaters that began around 800 and seemed to accelerate from there. Since I live by myself, this seemed to be overkill, when I had the bright idea to look at tankless heaters. The chains had some that were even more expensive. Then, I checked Amazon. I found this 3.8 gpm / 80000 BTU heater on a black Friday price of $239, with a minor delay in delivery. For the price difference, I thought I would give it a try. I also ordered a HYDRO MASTER Tankless Water Heater Service Valve Kit (62.46) to provide fittings for the water connections. I waited a couple more days for my friend (Thank you, Andrew) to assist me in mounting and plumbing the unit in. His expertise, while not absolutely necessary, allowed me a two hour installation, with no leaks. He helped me determine additional parts necessary (PEX fittings, PEX hose, exhaust pipe and couplings available locally (around $120). (One caveat: when attaching the water valves to the unit, use teflon tape and teflon paste to seal. Do not apply too much torque when installing, it can be difficult to counter hold the connection.) All plumbed up, turned on the cold and hot water valves, plugged in the electric, turned on the LPG, no leaks. turned on the hot water spigot and the unit fired right up, I could not have asked for a better outcome. I noted on the outside of the cover, the date of purchase and the 1 year warranty. We'll see how long it lasts.

j'ai installé le chauffe eau la semaine passée au chalet et il fonctionne très bien. La pompe à eau fournie 4.5 gal./min. avec une pression de 45 psi. minimum 25 psi. Le chauffe eau est très stable et suffisent...un 80,000 BTU aurait été suffisent. Il ne consomme très peu d'énergie..environ 30 watts en opération avec la fan et rien au repos. Je vais économiser beaucoup de propane et de batterie solaire......très satisfait pour l'instant....espérons qu'il va opérer des années...!
