    @mrlepto Yes, I agree. I’ve known tankless water heaters in South America since 60 years ago.

  • MovieDemocom:

    thanks for the info!

  • mrlepto:

    i beg to differ with you – tankless water heaters are not “relatively new technology” as anyone who has travelled outside the United States will agree. i’ve been travelling to Japan for decades and they have been in use there since my first visit. it’s old technology new to the USA for whatever bureaucratic reason…

  • joe59788:

    Still makes it new to Those not living there

  • dramos64:

    Nice job Josh.

  • riewekoche1:

    These water heaters were already common place in Germany in the ’60s.

  • mstaff657:

    it was being used in the U.S. as well

  • mstaff657:

    protectionism my foot
    I had a propane tankless water heater installed in a cabin 20 years ago .

  • chompychomps:

    This technology was invented and developed for industry in the U.S.A. I, however, recommend standard water heaters.

  • redsoil5:

    Protectionism.That’s the underlying reason why US did not adapted this kind of technology though it’s being use for a long time in other countries.We have to protect our local industries,which is wrong in this global economy. I’m just wondering why did they not protect the CAR industry?My guest is back then,they undermind or under estimate the technology of other countries,they even refer TOYOTA as TOY. Now the big 3 is suffering.

  • patfealy:

    You don’t deserve to be a Rheem man.

  • tripjet999:

    We had many problems with our last Rheem water heater (a regular tank model). The company was hard to deal with and would not offer anything to compensate us for all of time, trouble and frustration. The dip tube was defective. Rheem finally had a plumber install a new water heater, but by that time, we had already decided: NO MORE RHEEM products!

  • tomasobamela:

    Josh THE DORK !!!

    This guy is estupid !
    All of this was already being used in South America in the mid 60’s.

  • blueillusion97:

    relatively new technology?? LOL riiigght… I think its only new it US as US never cared about saving natural resources until couple years ago

  • estacabronponeresto:

    i hilly recommend you get some ecosmart, tankless water heater…

  • kc7fys:

    Also, the Rheem is HUGE and where is the front faucet and temp control? It’s a drag to live in a country that’s so slow to embrace basic technologies in common use abroad. Google the Rinnai. It’s a good unit.

  • kc7fys:

    These are very much NOT new technology. As is often the case, they are new only to us in the US. I have lived in Japan, and they are a fraction of the price and the standard in every home. The Rinnai is around 300$ and has a spout that dispenses warm to boiling water at the kitchen sink. The larger are used for the bathtub and use gas as well.

  • SmalltimR:

    lol

    You clearly are not a BBQ person. It’s been long known that many of the larger outdoor BBQ’s have hot and cold running water.

    Get out much?

  • JustAHumbleMumble:

    hahaha i just heard that too lolololololo
    BBQ? lololo

  • Masteroftrancegirl:

    Do you live in the US? If so, what state?

  • MeghanStar:

    BBQ?

  • gsteel55:

    Maybe you should look at Omega Comfort! Much better unit then Reem, lifetime warranty on heater exchanger and no plumbing modifications from tank to tankless! And all for under $700.00!

  • AJuner78:

    Lucky you Brianfranch.
    Here in the U.S. where oil companies have bought our REPUBLICAN governors and biased our policies so that it is encouraged people to waste energy. We have the biggest refrigerators, cars, houses, etc. It is pathetic. All with the guise of Ego and fear mongering.
    We need the corruption out of our government. It is embarrassing.

    Geo thermal, solar, and wind energy are awesome.
    Tankless are great !!!!
    That is the convenient truth.

  • brianfranch:

    This is new tech?? We’ve been using them all my life in Spain, actually I’ve never seen a Tank heater here in Spain… = S

  • alterdstitches:

    I have installed the tankless water heater. Now my electric co. wants to put me on a different pay scale. which can cause my bill to go up tremendously. It did save 60 bucks on my bill at first for about 2 yrs. Now that the co. knows I have one they want to raise my pay schedule. If I peak to 38 Klw for the month on my bill it can be around 300.00 for the month. NO sure what I can do about it other than the co. want me to go back to water heate with tank.
