😌 Too true... I have wondered about those instant-on hot water heaters. Is yours electric or gas?

Our water has not been HOT - more 'warm' with this new unit. Today I opened the covers for the thermostat(s) and took a while to figure out how to get to the settings without destroying the structure... turns out - when one figures it out - they have simplified the process - BUT, the temperature settings are smaller than they used to be and partly hidden under a plastic structure; I had to lie on the ground with a flashlight and a magnifying glass to see the lower thermostat setting. {I was worried that they might have eliminated the temp settings altogether.}

The factory settings were about perhaps 105º or a little higher. I moved both thermostats up to about 130º. I suppose the factory sets them low to avoid getting sued for scalding hot water or whatever. I am waiting to see how the new settings work out.

Due to some back problems plus a recent cervical surgery I like to take fairly hot showers; I presume I can achieve such again. It's not just a chore - it's an adventure! 😎

Both...the unit runs gas to heat the water but electric make the unit work - turn the unit on\displays.

The fittings didn't match..kinda like when the chunnel was ready to be finished..they met in the middle and were off a bit (try finding that story)..so he had to manufacture some bend connectors...installation took a bit of time though I do agree with you, it was kinda pricey...

With the old unit, I had to run the water approx a minute to get hot water - minute doesn't seem like a long time - it is if you just want to wash your hands. Now it's like a few seconds and it gets warm. I could have paid to have a loop back put in to get "instant" hot...glad I didn't. My temp is set @ 120 and is fine for us.

My better angel is pleased - who could ask for anything more?
