I am very interested. Since this unit has a remote wireless button, should I install it at the location where I want the hot water most often? Or should I install it at the farthest location from the hot water heater?

Place it where you need it most or would use it most. Near the shower etc. Not sure if you can place multiple wireless buttons in service but multiple wired buttons are a possibility I believe.

if you want instant hot water you need a valve at every sink. Our house has about a 60' run. I only installed 1 valve at the farthest point. The other sinks before it get hot pretty quick now but not as fast as the valved one.

don't count on the remote control drain your water push the main cooling button on the main console the controls are cryptic don't count on the remote. Unit works just learn it . cheers PS you have to have proper exhuast

Great question. You have different settings for each thermostat. I use always proximity for my downstairs, but only occasionally for the upstairs. I can enable/disable it easily from anywhere in the world.

No I disconnected my furnace hot water and replaced it with this heater for sink use only. now it supply's hot water immediately since it is mounted under the sink.

Yes, move the lever left for hot water and right for cold water. We've had this installed for 4 years now and still love it.

There is a built in thermostat at the bottom. You could put a remote thermostat but would have to be wired in.

Easily? Depends how limber you are! For me I would have to get down on my hands/knees, open the vanity, reach all the way to the wall (that's where its mounted at by the hot/cold water supply and flick the switch. For me, we leave it on all the time. Who cares? You can't hear it run, it uses virtually no power. I also have installed it at some rental properties because some tenants were complaining that it takes a few minutes to get hot water. PROBLEM SOLVED>>>>> Remember to place the pump at the furthest point away from the h/w heater. The hardest part for me was I had to hire an electrician to install an ac GFI outlet below the vanity. Me and electricity is NO BUENO.. Good luck. DB Easily? Depends how limber you are!

Hi Li D, Don't hook up the hot water connection. This unit functions perfectly with cold water connection only. Mine does.

I have both hot and cold water outlets on the side of my house. I connect a washing machine hose (one with a Y shape) to the faucets and then to the shower unit. Works great. If it ever gets warm again up here in New England I'll be able to use the outdoor shower again.

I would try to. I installed my unit in a 500sqft rectangular room. Place the unit on a solid exterior wall with easy access for electrical and drainage. Mount the exterior condensor above ground with the supplied wall mount. It looks clean and will be out of the way. I did have two leaking valves that cost me to have the unit recharged after 2 months of operation. Either than that the unit is good for the price.

I have not yet installed it:however, I am fairly sure it is not a "wireless" button. It comes with a button that can be wired from the unit to where you want to control it. The pump runs until water is up to temp. The most efficient way to install it should be as close to where you need it. But there is a limit to how high(stories/floors) it can pump.

Mine is under my sink as instant hot water as my boiler is 40 feet away. Works Great and has been installed for about 6 months.

The thermostat is wireless but attached to the wall. You can place it wherever you want without running wires. The portable control allows you to choose to read the temp from wherever you put it

Yes, You probably have your HW tank far from where you want fast hot water like I do. if supplied from hw side it will just give almost instant hw. won't hurt a thing, just save on your E bill.

We have the pump installed, and it works well. The pump only starts when we push the button connected to the unit, or when we push the button on the remote control. When the water temperature is reached, the unit stays off until the button is pushed again.

All I can do is tell you for the price , its well worth it. I' ve purchased a different unit but this one blows it away. Hot water any time all the time with easy hook up . Thats what I like. Call the customer help hot line to get the correct dip switch code. Outdoor units have a different code than indoor units.
