Rheem 6.5kW 240V Point of Use Thermostatic Tankless Electric Water Heater

Replaced an earlier version. Easy to install. Product as advertised.

Unit works fine and operation is simple.Could benefit from a larger conduit entry - current is 1/2"

Awesome! Had a smaller weaker one, didn't like it. We are using it on one bathroom sink, rated for two sinks, or a low flow shower. Temperature comes up within a second or two, with good modulation to cold. As directed, I ran a dedicated 30 amp, 240v wire (10/3 awg). It only had one ground connector, so I attached both for redundancy, but a 10/2 would have been fine if already present. My install was a very tight fit, I used a thin backer board for the mounting screws.

Works good or a point of use water heater. Our ground water temperature is about 55 degrees so this works better if you reduce your water flow to give the heater a better chance to raise the temperature above 100. Overall meets our expectations!

The Rheem packaging states that this device will supply continuous hot water at 0.7gpm for the coldest region in the continental U.S.(and up from there) But the device comes with an aerator which limits the flow to 0.35gpm. and it wouldn't even keep that severely limited flow hot at 105 deg F. in the middle of summer! To one faucet! The Rheem tech support had me perform diags and it passed them all. The unit was performing at its best. They ended up telling me that I needed to purchase a larger unit. This is after I had contracted a licensed plumber re-plumb from a standard water heater. I had to go back to a standard water heater and re-plumb again. After a couple of hours they finally was allowed to speak to a customer service person who, after an hour on the phone, simply said "Sorry" Rheem customer service was pathetic. Needless to say, I will not be purchasing any Rheem products in the future.

Installed in an outdoor kitchen sink and it works great.

Easy to install and has thermostate to control temp
