Good idea! We do not have sewer at our site going on a year now, so we waste a lot of water from the kitchen, bath, and shower to get hot. Too bad it doesn't recirculate.
Thanks for the video. I am planning to install one in the bathroom. Does this guy turn on and off automatically sensing the water flow or you have to manually turn on and off? Can you set the temp?
remember you have to have the incoming water from a tee from the COLD side, otherwise water will be scalding when regular heater water comes through. So you don't need to use the hot angle stop. (At least in warm climates)
This only hooks into the cold water line. It should not have been added to the hot water line. That way It will never have hot water going into the inlet
Just now seeing your video. Quick question - if using this for a tiny home , can one be placed under the kitchen sink cabinet as you did, and another be placed near the bathroom as the designated hot water for bathroom sink and shower, therefore eliminating the need for a “traditional “ hot water tank? Great video btw! 😊
3000W is just under 28 amps; but the 110V 36” power cord on these units is 14 AWG. If that wire isn’t getting hot then they are lying about it being 3000W.
Probably peak output? The stated peak wattage is typically a lie on consumer products. Or at least far more than one would expect with continuous wattage.
I have this exact same unit, they are not lying about the 3000w, it will draw up to 30 amps when you have the temp set hot and you have high water flow, and yes, the cord gets HOT, so hot that I decided to rewire/hard wire it myself with larger wire. Also, this guy posted above that all his breakers are 20A. My unit would pop the 20A breaker in about 45 seconds, he may be getting away with it because after a few seconds his original hot water has made its way to the instant heater and the instant heater no longer has to use power to heat the already hot water coming in. These units have a PWM transistor that controls the amount of power going into the heating element, so the heating element only uses the amount of power needed to heat the water based on its incoming water temp and the flow rate. If you watch the video at the 5 minute mark you can see he has his connected to the incoming hot water, so this instant heater only has to heat the water for a short while before he is actually using his regular hot water and the instant heater does not have to draw any power at all. That is great for instant hot water, but this video is not an accurate indication of what would happen if you depend on this water heater for the only source of water heating. If you want to use this exact unit as the only source of heating, and at a decent flow rate, you will need 110-120v at a minimum of 30amps, and watch that power cord getting hot or rewire it yourself with larger gauge wire. China does not care if you burn your house down.
@@HappyTailsRVing So 20A*120V= 2400 watts. You should get one of those cheap "kill-a-watt" type watt meters to see how much power this appliance is actually consuming. May be it is not as much as on the label.
We have had this for well over a year now and have not seen this problem. What do you mean? As you can only run a trickle of water through your faucet? Maybe it is a defected unit? Either way we are sorry to hear you are having an issue with it.
@@HappyTailsRVing I installed it on the cold water line as the directions indicate. As long as I only had the water trickling I would get hot water. After further research it appears this is the case. Glad to hear its' working for you.

Like we said in the vid, we were shocked on how well this thing works. It is definitely a game changer. As always thank you for watching.

You can not set the temp. It does sense flow and engage.
Yea this is cool. And like you said didn't add the dishwasher. I didn't either as no need for two dishwashers she does a better job on dishes as it is

what if hot water from remote water heater eventually come through the device, ,will it overheat? I guess it needs cold water to cool down?

Great video! Would you still recommend it months later?
Thanks for sharing.

3000 watts? What size breaker is this hooked up to?
All breakers are 20a service.

@mrpawpaw7023 that is exactly what I am assuming I feel it is more in the 1800 range but yes you are correct.
How do you set the temperature on it
@user-cp6kh7gm7e you can’t other than through your faucets of mixing your hot and cold together.
Link is not working. Very nice video
Link has been updated. Thanks for watching our channel.
What make is the unit?
This is a SHIOUCY water heater. Thanks for watching our channel.
My display just spins and u cant set it. no hot water
I purchased this item. You can only trickle the water for hot water. I'm sending it back.
