Rheem RET 13 Electric Tankless Water Heater, 4 GPM Reviews
| 43 of 44 people found the following review helpful:  Not bad but not the best, By marshallf3 (Oklahoma City, OK) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Rheem RET 13 Electric Tankless Water Heater, 4 GPM (Tools & Home Improvement) I expected a unit of this size to put out hotter water when flowing to a single sink. It's useable but not as good as others I've used. I'd hate to think of what the lower wattage models would do. It also has the annoying habit of occasionally switching on for a few seconds even when not in use, there's no reason for this to keep the few ounces of water it keeps inside already warmed up. 15 of 18 people found the following review helpful:  Unreliable and VERY dnagerous, By This review is from: Rheem RET 13 Electric Tankless Water Heater, 4 GPM (Tools & Home Improvement) The first unit I installed started to leak after 2 days - the joint between the two heating chambers. Rheem sent a replacement. The second unit turned on spontaneously - when the faucet was closed and caused a massive build up of pressure and then fried the control board. Fortunately I caught the unit turning on and opened the faucet - it was like a giant espresso machine. I have no doubt it would have exploded had it not been caught in time. Rheem sent a second replacement. The third unit, same problem as the second. This time my wife heard noises from below the sink and ran to the breaker to turn it off, not before one of the elements inside burnt out. These units are dangerous. I spoke at length to Rheem customer service who weren't too bothered and said if I thought there was a problem, I should write to customer service. These units could kill somebody or serious burn - steam burns are the absolute worst!

In Montreal, this type of device is not known, and most people are ignorant about it and its requirement (lots of amps). I installed it with 40 amps breaker and cable 6 and it works well. Plenty hot water even in cold climate! |
