Everpure Solaria Instant Hot Water Dispenser (EV9318-40)

Product quit working 4 months after purchase and install. Previous same product worked great for 3 years. Very disappointed.

I just replaced my first one after about 7 years so I am updating my review with another tip. The hot outlet is 3/8" OD pipe. I used a push fit connector. There is a lot of conducted heat from the tank and over time the o-ring in the connector started to leak. That water ran down inside the unit causing it to fail (they stink when they go bad). I have switched to a brass compression fitting; it feels a little loose but it will tighten up nicely. Then I used approx. 6" of 3/8 tubing to get away from the conduction heat of the tank. From there I used a 3/8 to 5/16 coupler that you can order here on Amazon to connect to the faucet. This solution shouldn't have the failure mechanism that I saw the first time and I expect this one to go over 10 years.------- Previous Review --------Long Island Homeowner gave a lot of good feedback. I have tried a couple and this is the best that I have had. The unit can produce over 4 cups of very hot water in one run, I haven't tried the upper limit but that is good enough for most needs. It also has a very fast recovery so you can get more hot water very quickly.There is some sensitivity to routing of the hot hose to the faucet. If the hose droops down from the unit before going up you will get a little cool water and a sputter/burst of air before getting hot. Be sure to mount the unit level, if you don't the steam won't vent properly and you can get sputtering. Construction is average but everything is thin walled so I don't expect infinite life. Then again, as noted the replacement process is SIMPLE so it really isn't much of an issue.

I had the same/similar Everpure hot water dispenser for years (I think over 10 years). I loved it. As it was tome to replace it, I choose the same/similar hot water dispenser. I had this new one for about 2 months and so far , it's working just fine. I love it. However, I had one major issue when installing this product. As you can see, there is two (2) outlets on the top of this product. The one in the center is larger than the one in the corner. However, this product came with two connectors that connects into these two outlets with 2 different lines. Unfortunately, these two connectors were od the same size which can only fit onto smaller outlet (one in the corner). its impossible to place one of these connectors onto the center (larger) outlet. Fortunately for me, I was able to salvage the larger connector from my old hot water dispenser, which fit perfectly onto the center (larger) outlet. I think the company need to make sure that they are sending correct size connectors (one small and the other larger. Not two same size) with this product

This particular system failed (Heating element stopped working) I was sent a replacement, (Thank you). Could not get a plumber until today. Old system beingireturned in the morning.

The quick disconnect fitting did not fit securely on the center tube of the tank. We are seeking a replacement at local plumbing suppliers. This is my 3rd tank and first time with this problem. Need to give a low grade because of this problem.

Hooked up hot water tank to replace prior Everpure that died after 6 years. Connections on top were fine. Leaked from bottom 1 day after installation. Confirmed drain plug was secure. Thankfully had unit over safety pan and was alerted by leak detector alarm (Insteon) that I’ve had for years. It’s going back and looking for alternate product.

I bought this as a replacement for a more popular brand with better reviews, but I actually think this is a much better product. Simple installation and it's compatible with any model faucet. Heats really fast several cups of water.

It did not last very long, about 6 months. It was super easy to install and seems very well made. Stainless steel inside and out. It decided to try the commercial model which was more expensive but if it only lasts 6 months it's not worth the trouble. The manufacturer would not honor the warranty. They said I would have to call Amazon. It is Amazon's policy to only grant returns within 30 days but they made an exception. What a relief. So now I need to start all over and install a new one. OY ! Update. Got a refund but only $198. What a pain. Called Amazon a second time and got the rest. Three phone calls to get the refund ouch. Btw I found the almost identical hot water heater in Amazon called Ready HOT.. same everything so it fit right in and only took 30 mins to install. Cost. $100 less. I hope that one lasts a while longer.
