This small unit was perfect for my two bedroom one bath house. The issue is this; if you have single handle faucets, when tempering the hot water the blend valve reduces hot water flow while introducing cold water to the stream. The water heater senses the reduction in flow and shuts off, giving the bather a dose of cold water. Using the controls on the water heater to reduce gas flow and temperature setting allows the user to set the hot water temperature to about 110 degrees. This allows you to set the water valve on your single lever faucet to full hot and leave it there for the duration. The other solution, which I plan to implement as soon as finances allow, is to replace the single handle faucets with two-handle, two-valve faucets. Other than this little bit of behavior modification the unit works great!

The Eccotemp FVI-12-NG High Capacity Gas Tankless Water Heater did not have enough water flow for the bathtub. The 1/2 inch inlet and outlets are just not big enough. I recoommend the 40NI at a minimum as it has 3/4 inch inlet. It is rated at 6+ gpm instead of 3.5 gpm. Not sure why they call it High Capacity and say it is a good unit for a 1 bath house. It worked great though and is well built and very attractive as far as a water heater goes.

Well, despite having to call the city inspector to get an ok to install it (the plumber didn't want to because this unit doesn't have an ANSI or some other certification) and then convincing the plumber that this was a good idea- I'm pretty happy.I had a 30 gal water heater blow up in my office basement. After the flood subsided- I realized two things- we don't need to heat that much water- nor do we need to store it. We only have three hand sinks.having been to Europe many times- I've been familiar with on-demand water heaters- and this seemed like a great price/performance solution.But- here is where things got tricky- can't vent it up the chimney- and the wall where it needed to be was too close to ground level.So instead of mounting it near the manablock- we had to mount it 25' away.We now have to clear the lines before we get hot water- and they are a lot longer than they used to be.But the real killer- was that it requires 2.5" stainless steel...

What's the deal with our gas hot water heater?

May 22, 740 by Scott S

Our gas water heater has never given us problems, but tonight when we filled our bathtub, we ran out of hot water halfway through the filling. However, in 20 minutes the water started to get hot again and in an hour's time, it was back to HOT. Is this normal? Why did we lose hot water when none of us were home to use any hot water during the day (other than our morning showers)?

I won't speculate on whether or not the water heater is about to die because you didn't say how old the heater is. More than likely, the water cooled down during the course of the day and when you turned on the hot water, you got what you could out of the tank and the rest was cold because the tank started filling up as you were draining it while filling the tub. Once you stopped filling the tub, the cold water then heated up and the entire tank of water was hot again.
