Question 1

are any of these tankless water heaters plug in??

Accepted Answer

Hello. According to the NEC and building code, electric tankless water heaters 15 amps or above do not include a cord with plug. They must be hard wired to a junction box or breaker box.

Question 2

60 degree water going in what degree will be at the tap

Accepted Answer

Hello James. Great question. This unit heats water by 24°F at a flow rate of 1.0 GPM (and a proportionately lower temperature rise with a higher flow rate, and higher temp. rise with lower flow rate). All tankless water heaters operate on the same principle.

Therefore, you should add 24°F to your incoming water temperature of 60°F. The answer is 84°F.

This heater requires one 00 amp double pole breaker.

Question 3

Can the flow rate be adjusted up from 0.5gpm to say 1gpm or 1.5gpm (understood that the output water will be corresponding less hotter)? thanks in adv

Accepted Answer

No.  This is a simple self- regulating unit. If you want more flow, and more hot water, go to the next size up that this company makes. I put this unit in my parents kitchen, where it doesn't get as hot and cannot cause burns. I have the larger unit in my kitchen. It can get very hot before it balances out.

Question 4

Would this provide a decent shower in an RV?

Accepted Answer

Hello. No, the POU 3.5 is only appropriate for hand-washing sinks. This unit heats water by 24°F at a flow rate of 1.0 GPM (and a proportionately lower temperature rise with a higher flow rate, and higher temp. rise with lower flow rate). All tankless water heaters operate on the same principle.

Therefore for example, when the incoming water temperature is 70°F or more, the output temperature will be at least 94°F at 1.0 GPM. (70 + 24 = 94.

Possible shower flow rates: 1.5 to 2.5 GPM. Sink flow rates vary from 0.5 to 2 GPM. If you want to determine whether points of use other than a sink will produce at least 105°F, then calculate that with the data mentioned here.

This heater requires one 30 amp single pole breaker. If it will not produce the desired flow rate and temperature rise, then choose another model with more kW and amps, and ensure that you can supply it with the required electrical capacity.

This is a summary. For a better, more complete explanation of how to choose a tankless water heater for an RV, read our article at blog.gadgetsgo.com.
