How high with the temperature rise during the defrost cycle?

Thank you for your interest in Goedeker's! Unfortunately, Frigidaire doesn't give that information. They only say that it will defrost every 12 hours.

They're referring to 100 degree water. The water in the filter is very unlikely to actually reach 100 degrees F, especially if you run it even a little bit (since it's coming out of the ground tens of degrees colder).

From my experience this is not a fixed value. If you set the flow switch at 0.5 GPM and the temperature at max, when you are flowing at a rate just above the 0.5 GPM you can a 90 Deg. F rise per the book. If you increase the flow rate above 0.5 Deg. F the temperature rise will decrease below 90 Deg. F. I have discovered that if I am using only the hot water and decrease the flow rate the temperature goes up. Note: 1 BUT will raise 1 pound of water 1 Deg. F; 1 gal = 8.34 pounds of water. Good luck with your unit, so times getting the proper balance between hot and cold water is a challenge. From my experience this is not a fixed value.

It will go up in 5 degree increments from 150 to 212. You cannot set the temperature to a precise degree.

Well, a lot of them. i had mine go out (as ecotemp said) and i don't think it got below 38f. if you do have a problem with yours im sure they will say it's because you let it freeze. thats what all their complaints are about it seems. and their customer service is non existent, they just said it was all my fault then (get this) he hung up on me. i never raised my voice (but he did) i tried to call back and they would not pick up my call. i will never even think about using them again. good luck!

I am seeing a maximum of approximately 50*f rise in temperature above the incoming water. My incoming water is 58* and and I get to about 108*f with the temperature dial all the way to high and with the water slowed to its minimum. This little heater works great.

I believe 212F is the highest. It isn't possible to get higher temps without increasing pressure (e.g. pressure cooker) which this does not do. It does clean old porcelain toilets extremely well, as well as tile grout. I love it.

Not sure yet, as this will be my first winter using the product. But, like any plumbing, as long as the water flows through the pipe, you shouldn't have issues with freezing or bursting pipe, maybe just turn the amount up a bit more to a fast drip.

I have seen coolant temps as high as 210-213 in summer pulling a load uphill. It handled that without an issue.

With temperatures in the 33°F to 35°F range, mine heats the water near the heater to 50°F while running at a 75% duty cycle. At lower temperatures the duty cycle will reach 100% and the heater will not be able to supply enough power to maintain 50°F. Below that temperature of the water near the heater will be a nearly constant rise above the air temperature,. For my situation the temperature rise above ambient will be about 21°F. I would expect mine to freeze over when the ambient air temperature is 11°F.

Hi David, According to the manual: "P1- Unit is defrosting-- Allow the unit time to automatically defrost. The error will clear after the unit self defrosts."

No. 104 is the highest. And even though it may be set at 104, the temp will decrease a few degrees once the top is off.

I don't know as I do not live in a very cold climate. Sorry I cannot be of more help

Sorry but I don't have a clue. We live in North Dakota so we've never seen temps that high. I can tell you it worked fine in our garden and we had it on a timer.

Depends on how cold the water is to start. You can figure an increase of only about 3 degrees per hour and it does slow a bit as the water warms. My water was 43 degrees last time I changed it and it took over 24 hours to get up to 99 degrees even with the cover on. Actually that is not bad when you consider the amount of water you are heating.

I have never taken the temperature of the water but the heater is strong enough to keep the water from freezing in all weather we have experienced in Minnesota over the past two seasons, last year being much colder. If I had to guess I would have to say somewhere in the upper 30's.

I brought mine inside when temperature got below 32 so I'm not sure. High temps are no problem.
