I live at high 7500 feet and have heard these can have issues has anyone used this above 7000 ft?

Yes. I have a ranch at 9200 feet in Colorado. It is awesome. Heats pretty much the entire house. I usually get up in morning and turn it on. In 30 minutes the house is warm.

Rob says his works fine at 9200 feet! If you do order, make sure the seller will bear all the costs of returning the stove if it doesn't work for you. As loyalamazoncustomer says, it's a bear to pack and return. I know, I did it!

they recommend to 4500 but if Rob has no problems at 9200 you could be ok it's heavy stove to have to pack and return

We are at 7000 feet and it works great. One of the best investments we have made. The installation manual gives the proper pressure settings for your elevation. Hope this is helpful.

We are lucky to have very high water pressure in our area, so I had no problem pumping at about 75 feet. I have not tried it at the 100 feet you are asking about. It is a great pump. Far exceeds the other 3 I tried.

I only tried them for about 10 or 12 feet.. I don't know how far their max is... they have a listing on the package but I never checked it out to see if the claimed max range was accurate or not.

I've installed, used and owned Rinnai heaters in my area for the past 20 years. We're at 6,400 ft. I have done intstallations up to 7,400 ft with no issues from altitude.

75' is a real push but I had a much older unit work at close to 100' with the RF, the problem the newer units have are usually with the IR signal alingment

Thank you for your inquiry. We have not had any issues with any of our customers coming to us saying that their lines lose tension beyond 100 ft. This camera system would be able to go beyond 100 ft.

I contacted the manufacturer who told me that these heaters do not work for elevations above 4500 feet. I'm surprised this isn't explained in the product description. Pretty important information, I think. Thanks everyone for all your helpful answers. I'm looking for another heating solution. Hard to beat this little heater!

Changing the orifice will do nothing for high altitude. I have a house at 8500 feet, and can not use any of the newer stly with th O2 sensors. They only function to 4000 ft, and 4500 feet will cause intermittent operation. I have used this type heaters for over 20 years and they work great at 750 feet in Ohio, and wanted one for my house in Colorado, but to no avail.

I'm not an expert but I would think as long as you don't go above the 7500 there shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully someone here has the expertise and can confirm for you. Although I would still call the company and speak with a knowledgeable representative.

300 feet is the most I have heard of. Maybe Amazon will allow you to return it if it doesn't pass your test?

I have one of the older ones with 100+ft cable. After 50 feet or so, you lose the tension required to keep pushing. I've never used all of the cable because i can't. I'm actually going to get shorter cable.

Depends on how much water pressure you have. We have a very high water pressure and it wasn't a problem for me to have at 75' end. But if your water pressure is not good then I am sure this would be the case.

Don't know the answer. I did not get mine to work either. Appears to be something wrong with the set up. Could not get them to communicate even when only 200 ft apart. The set up instructions are terrible Only a professional would have a chance to understand them.

I debated the same thing in March. I went with the regular housing and was fine. Took it to 95 ft with trouble. Make sure to get a red filter for the housing if you are going deeper than 10 feet!

I can only offer some real world experience, I have 3 of these, In an office building it works fine for about 100 feet then starts to drop off at 150 though walls it does not work well. I found a second unit 100 feet away is a good solution. In open air 350 feet work fine. You have a power setting and you can turn it up. You also have a range setting and it goes up to Kilometers, This issue is there is a compromise of the speed and bandwidth as you turn this up. So I am sure it will work at 2,500 meters but you wont be getting 100MB though put.
