Product Review

I bought it and installed it. If you set the temperature above 120F, it produces yellow water at the commence (!) [I feel that is simply because in the event you set it to 130F, it spikes to 140+ initially]. Known as eccotemp and emailed them; they stated that 120F was the maximum temperature for this unit (regardless of the manual saying 140F) and any more would cause burns. True, but: 1. I know the way to use the cold water to mix it towards the temperature I want (it's named tempering!). 2. This can be a "whole house" unit -- I prefer to sterilize my dishes and laundry. 120F doesn't do that (heck, 120F barely kills fleas!) Keeping it in spite of the yellow water... I suppose that means it'll wear out faster than typical and I get to uncover out what how the warranty works. Apart from the low temp, it works, and I've seen a reduction on my gas bill *despite* me filling my hot tub together with the water (Yay! I got to enjoy the hot tub without having waiting for per day for it to heat up on it's own following getting to drain it). (More Detail...)
