How long does it take to have hot water?
|
The RV-500 begins making hot water in about three seconds. The water temperature will rise
rapidly to the set temperature (115º F).
|
|
Does the RV-500 install like other water heaters?
|
Yes. It installs and flues like a tank heater, in the side walls of your RV. The water,
gas and electrical hookups are the same type used on tank heaters.
|
|
Will the RV-500 fit into the same bay in my RV's side-wall?
|
In almost all instances it will. The RV-500 mounting flange is designed to perfectly replace
a common ten gallon tank heater. To replace a six gallon heater, a few inches must be added
to the vertical dimension. This can be cut up or down.
|
|
Is the RV-500 as noisy as my current tank heater?
|
No. It is so quiet that the only way you know it's operating is that you have hot water.
|
|
Does the RV-500 use more propane than tank heaters?
|
To the contrary, the RV-500 is about 20% more efficient than tank heaters. And, because there
is no standby heat loss, you may find that you are using 1/2 or less the amount of propane per
gallon of hot water.
|
|
How do I winterize my RV-500?
|
Simply drain the system of water, blowing it out with air, or else running non toxic
anti-freeze through the heater while winterizing the rest of the plumbing system.
The RV-500 only requires about a pint of antifreeze.
|
|
If endless hot water is such a good idea, why doesn't everyone use it?
|
Most people don't realize that they have an alternative to tank heaters. It takes a lot of
time and marketing dollars to get the word out. But for those who want endless hot water and
a quiet and efficient hot water system, the RV-500 is perfect.
|
|
When operating, does it create as hot an exhaust as my tank heater?
|
No. It is about 50% cooler. It will not scorch the side of your RV.
