Can you clever folks tell me about this one? My husband did an
excellent job installing our tankless water heater. I was out of town
that weekend, but given his record for thoroughness, handiness with
tools, & researching how exactly to do something right, I believe he
put it all in right. It is this one right hehttp://www.ho****erheater.com/model-h-28-4.htm


However, now I can't get a hot shower!! I had nice long hot showers
with the tank system, but now, nope!! It starts off and builds up to
scalding water pretty quickly, if I crank it all the way up. Then I
push it back down to the correct temperature. But then it quickly
tapers off after a minute or two, and the rest of the shower is
lukewarm! It will get a little hotter & then colder in turns, which is
also annoying; but never gets hot, even if I push it all the way back
to the maximum. It's definitely not a comfortable showering
temperature, even.


Any ideas?


Start taking baths.

former tankless owners say the 2 best days........

the first day its installed

the day its replaced with a standard tank.

Did you hubby upsize the gas line all the way to the meter? too small
a input line can cause this.

besides standard tanks like mine are 75K BTU

Your tankless is only 95K BTU

You my have ongoing hassles, sorry to give you bad news.

PLEASE REPORT BACK WETHER YOUR HAPPY O)R UNHAPPY WITH THIS TANKLESS
LONG TERM!

if your unhappy, consider using it as a pre heater for a standard
tank, by prte heating the incoming water to a standard tank you can
have a endless supply of nice hot water, at no extra fuel cost.
