CAMPLUX Electric Hot Water Heater 6.5 Gallons, Mini Tank Water Heaters Electric 120V 1440W, Easier Using with Adjustable Thermostat, Save Time, UL Listed

I like that this actually works for me. I live in a RV full-time. I had a leaky RV hot water heater. I found that It was more economical to replace my built in RV hot water heater with this. I do not need the propane that is part of my built-in Hot water heater. This does NOT blow my 15 amp fuse. That was a major concern. I moved my pex pipe and electric to a cabin that is in a different spot as it will not fit into the small space where the old hot water was. Make sure the 1/2 connections are wide enough to fit over the ntp plastic connections the are on the camplux. I found that what I had which is correct 1/2 NTP but I needed to go and get a different connection as I could not thread over the plastic threads to wide for my 1/2 NTP, Just check that first as what I had you could easily put over a aluminum connection on the stock tank. That is not a show stopper and it took no time to find what fit. What I found was this. My old hot water heater using electric only, this is the compare. It was a 6 gallon tank. This one from Camplux is a 6.5 Gallon heater. I picked this because I need a high temperature, such as 135 Fahrenheit. I only care really about hot water and showers. The old hot water was at 140 degrees set and you can not change it unless you buy new parts. So I could take a 10-minute hot shower. You just have to in the RV get used to turning the cold on to about 90 percent and 10 percent hot water, and it works like any other shower. You of course can not in any way stand under pure hot water. So would this work for a shower, I hoped. I hooked everything up. What I was really happy about is that the Camplux is insulated very well and no heat comes off of it. Most RV hot water heaters use Styrofoam as the insulator. It looked like a igloo cooler as that's standard as well as feeling the heat just come off of the built in heater just float into the house . I also picked this because you can turn the temperature to MAX which is 135 Degrees as far as my thermometer is showing. This allows for a long shower as cold showers well are not fun. So with the Camplux I can take the exact same shower. My thoughts are no heat is coming off this Camplux heater as its well insulated. It has a light that comes on when its heating. So far the light is off most of the time and that tells me it's not struggling to maintain my temperature I need. NO fuses are blowing as stated 1400 what's which is under my 15 amp limit. I also decided to add a few new filters in front of my water supply as I apparently have iron in my water as the old hot water tank was full of the orange material. After a few weeks now, I am happy. For those who need to use the Hot water as a main shower in the RV this works great as it is very close to what is already installed. Can not say how happy I am that this holds up to what I had that is broke now my old hot water tank it had a slow leak and after months I figured it out. Also the recovery time is pretty fast just as well as the old heater.

Compact heater, fit under our kitchen sink no problem. Check your measurements, the dimensions shown are accurate. We set a plastic tray underneath just in case, but the heater did not leak or drip. Two things to keep in mind with this, or ANY point-of-use electric heater: You absolutely MUST connect the pressure-release valve to a hose that connects to the sink drain. Don't skip this as the heater will, from time to time, release some hot water under very high pressure. I have installed a few of these and also fixed installations where the owner didn't think they needed that hose. You do. Second thing: You MUST have a dedicated 15 amp circuit for a water heater this size. If you don't want to hire an electrician to run a dedicated line, you can cheat by using your dishwasher or garbage disposal circuit as long as you aren't using both appliances at the same time. Other than that, it works great. Highly recommended.

This water heater arrived quickly. It installed relatively easily. It does not get very hot. It gets warm. It is enough to wash your hands. And a couple of items. Past that it is not going to stay warm. Not what I expected. I thought it would heat the water as the water ran through it but it really has just a tiny tank maybe five or 6 gallons in there which is why it’s so large. Ate up hall the cannot space. It needs its own power obviously.

I put this compact hot water heater under the sink in series with the hot water line from the main water heater. Turn the faucet on and get instant hot water from the compact water heater while the hot water from the main water heater travels to the tank of the small water heater. When the small heater runs out, the water from the big heater is just getting there, ensuring instant, constant hot water. Works great !

I knew something was a bit off when I noticed that the inlet and outlet threads flaked off powder as I was removing the plastic protection caps (could be coating or corrosion). I disregarded that and continued to install the unit. After flowing through it for the first time, I immediately noticed brown water flowing out when I opened all the valves. Previous to installing the unit, the water ran clear, so it was obvious that the source of contamination was from the reservoir/unit. I then closed all the valves and then noticed a leak coming from the cover! I don’t know how this is leaking from the cover, but I basically had to reverse my entire installation, repackage, and return all the supplies I bought separately. What a waste of time! I didn’t even get a chance to plug in the unit so I can’t comment on the heat. The good thing about this product is that it comes with decent mounting hardware. You have the option to mount this on the wall if you want. Comes with a bracket, two lug screws, or you can use screws designed for concrete. If you want to throw the dice and still decide to buy the unit, you’ll typically need the following: 1/2” FIP x 1/2” FIP Hose (Outlet to Faucet) 1/2” FIP x 3/8” Compression (Supply to Unit, although you can reuse existing) 3/4 in. Schedule 40 PVC Male Adapter (For the relief valve) 3/4 in. Sch 40 PVC Pipe and Elbow Recommend GFCI Extension Cord that can handle the wattage I’m not sure if I just received a bad/used unit or not, but after wasting my time and experiencing the poor quality, I rather stick to another brand. It’s a “good value” for a reason in my opinion. Also note that some of the product photos don’t show the relief valve. You’ll have to consider where you want this thing to relief water if it gets over pressurized or too hot. It must follow code. If you have a standard residential bathroom, finding an extra drain besides your faucet sink or bath/shower is going to be difficult. You should consider the relief valve drain location for you and your family’s safety. The amount of power this thing is designed to draw is suitable for most house holds that hold a 15 amp breaker (common). It still leaves room for other things such as lights and small items. This is why I chose the unit.

Great product. Easy to install.

Does a great job on hottest setting. Hope it lasts.

This is a nice heater but it doesn't keep up with consistent water temperature. Runs cold after 5 minutes.

Este calentador de agua lo instalé en la cocina, funciona muy bien, un poco complicado para su instalación, lo que si se requiere es un manual mas ilustrativo y en español.

We installed this at our cabin and were able to take the massive water heater out of that space and put this in allowing us to turn the space into a pantry. It delivers HOT water fast and is enough for a quick shower. We mostly just do dishes and wash hands. It's a great unit and easy to install.

Lo compré para una estética canina y me ha servido bastante, lo recomiendo.

Es muy buen articulo y facil de instalar

It worked well I bought it 3 years ago for my RV that I live in, and it just gave out now. I used it for showers, dishes and laundry on a full time basis. I wish it would have lasted longer but for what I used it for it held up well!
