I just looked and there's less than 1/4" space between the lever and the bumper when you turn to freespool so I'd definitely go with the 3/4". If you went with the 1/2" I'm pretty sure you'd have to cut/grind the lever a little to clear the bumper.

You're supposed to flush it, which is why the 3 way valve is at the bottom of incoming and outgoing, but I haven't done it. The flush is with some vinegar mix to clean out any calcification you may have. Similar to the hard rock like stuff on heated humidifiers or perhaps coffee makers. Depending on how hard/soft your water is will determine how often you need to clean it. Manufacturer says once a year.

@forayfog22764 ай бұрын
Haven't checked recently, but it was ~62-64F. I can get two showers going at once, one tub, or a shower and dish/clothes washer. Each of those add up to close to max of 3.5GPM at my 130F setting. I tried changing it lower and I can get up to 4GPM, but then I get complaints of it not being hot enough - I don't tell anyone and I get questions - "what happen to the hot water?" so people notice. I could go with it at a lower temp, just depends what people in the house want. Generally we all use the water at night and go to bed at different times so it hasn't been an issue.

Thank you! I have a 2015 R1 and it has the same type of tensioner. I was nervous about taking it apart but your video let me understand the mechanics and operation. Once I understood it, really not so difficult to reset these. I found a carpenters bar clamp worked perfect to add just the right squeeze and control. I put a ratchet socket on the body end so I could spin it and the rubber of the bar clamp held the piston end enough to keep it from spinning with the body. The trick is getting the squeeze pressure just right. It's not a lot.

Thanks. It took me a bit to figure out and was certainly frustrated (It can't be that complicated!!). Pressure is the key. Too little or too much and it won't go in. The tricky part is the very end when you need to get the ring set to hold it. Not much room to twist and get the ring clip set. Glad it helped.

Looks pretty. Hope you don't ever need it. If you look in the owner's manual, in the section about duty cycle it states that it is 5% out of 15 minutes. It says that you can use it for 45 seconds out of 15 minutes and then it has to sit unused for 14 minutes and 15 seconds. Warn and Smittybilt cost more but can be used almost continuously. Looks pretty though.

Thanks for the update on duty cycle. I've seen it but someone else may miss it. I've used it for much longer durations and never had an issue. Understood that there is a duty cycle, things get hot and you don't want to burn anything up, but its just a manufacturer's guidance. Similar to why we need 100 page instructions with 75 being warnings of some sort or other. Many people do not critically think about what they are doing. I do appreciate you bringing it up, something to consider when purchasing.

The performance deviation you're seeing between the listed GPM (7) and your GPM (3) is downright mind-boggling! Are your water pipes insulated wherever they are coming into the property, and am I understanding correctly that even when you set it at 120ºF there was no discernible difference in throughflow? It strikes me that that's not performing correctly then. This unit is supposed to be able to produce hot water for the entire household and the chart shows two showers and a sink at water temp of 42ºF input still would produce 3.9 GPM! So either your water is much colder, or something may be clogging up the works, because you should in the worst scenario be getting more than only 3 GPM. In your comment below you indicated your water is coming in at ~63ºF, which means you should be getting 5.7 GPM when using 3 showers and two sinks, so even if we account for the higher temperature, derating by almost 50% is barely acceptable.
@forayfog22769 ай бұрын
If you look at Stiebel's sheet for temp settings, the one you quote as 5.7gpm, it also shows the water temp set at 105F. I did set mine a little lower from 120F, 115F I believe, and did not see any discernable difference in GPM. Maybe if I set to 105 I'd have better GPM rates, but that wouldn't work for my family.
@forayfog22769 ай бұрын
I was actually just looking at I had it set to 130F. It was limiting at 3.5gpm. I changed it down to 115F and it got to 4.5gpm before limiting. Any further down and it stopped limiting output. So I'd suspect that if you went down to 105F you probably could get the 5.7gpm in fine print. Marketing.. got to love it.

I'd like to offer a better way of doing the wiring for this unit. While it is true that the ground only has space for one connector, that doesn't mean that all three aren't supposed to be connected. Connecting them inside the unit is impractical and somewhat unsafe, but connecting them on a bus bar inside a box before it is fed into the unit, and using a heavy lug for a 4 AWG large ground wire inside the unit is the better way to go. That way you've got rock solid ground connections from the unit to the panel.

@forayfog2276 Жыл бұрын
Pending what you mean with flat tow harness.. I use the RV3 supplemental brake system and all the pieces; 1) RVI brake 3 2) wireless breakaway 3) battery charger 4) Tire Patrol (TPMS) The Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar comes with the female plug for the Jeep and matching male on the tow bar side. I wired the positive to the RVI battery charger and then to the battery. Wireless break away goes to battery. Both have inline fuses I remove when not camping so there's no power draw. They should go in sleep mode, but I just pull the fuses to not worry about it. I went with RVI to have all these pieces together and have it visible on a tablet while driving. Pretty happy with it minus two things: 1) RVI all works together via wifi 2.4GHz channel 1. My dash radio/nav is a tablet that sticks to the dash via magnet/hub. They talk wifi 2.4 as well. I just changed the channel on it to 9 to see if it helps as I would loose TPMS signals from time to time. 2) I wish it would brake a little more. It mostly comes on during medium to hard braking. I never see it during light braking unlike my trailer brakes. For the lights, I had wireless brake lights that have magnets from previous towing and I just use them instead of messing with Jeep lights. On the RV side the 7pin is used for charging Jeep and the 4 pin is used simultaneously to run the wireless brake/signal lights. Just seems much easier than messing with more wiring or running additional wires to rear lights AND I can always move it to the next vehicle.

Comment please on any possible benefit to running 2 units, both 24 or 29 or 1- 24 and 1- 29 in series. I have a large house in northern Idaho, inlet water 45 degrees from a well, lots of power (I think) and breaker panels are literally mounted above the 2 existing 50 gallon tank heaters that I wish to get rid of for space reasons, that are currently ran in series, one does 45 to 80??? feeding the other that does 80??? to 125 0r whatever. If you don't set the set temp to 140, are you pulling 50A x 3? Anyone see a huge fireball in northern Idaho next month, perhaps my idea didn't work.
@forayfog2276 Жыл бұрын
That's a tough one.. My thoughts: 1) If you do buy a unit, go without the 'plus'. The non-plus version does not limit outgoing flow based on temp. Let it heat up as much as it can and move on to the second one in series to try and heat up more. Coming from 45F is going to be hard, but series may actually work. The non-plus versions are usually used for floor heating (circulating hot water in tubes under tile and so forth) 2) Two units is going to be a LARGE amount of power. These are dual breakers, so when it says 3x50amps, its actually 50amps on both phases or up to 300amps (50*3 -> 150amps * 2 (dual breakers) = 300amps for a single unit max. When I'm running max flow, ~ 3gpm, I see ~45amps on each breaker, 45*3->135amps, *2 for dual breaker or 270amps total. If you were running two units, you would need to have at least two separate circuit breaker panels (normally each one is rated 150-200amps per phase on each panel) and you would be using the majority of power on each panel leaving very little for other high draw items like an oven, hvac, etc. I won't say it won't work, but seems unlikely. 3) The two tanks in series you have now (like I had previously) are usually put in place for larger homes with high hot water volume use. There are separate thermostats for each one, but the temp set is normally the same for both. Generally hot water comes from 2nd tank to the house and while hot water is emptying from the tank, the 1st tank feeds hot water in the 2nd so you have hot water filling the 2nd. As the 1st tank fills from the well, the temp drops dramatically (45F entering) but the 2nd tank still has hot water feeding the house. It would be similar to an 80g tank have 4 elements rather than two 40g with 2 elements. Its just a little more efficient and fault tolerant to have two tanks. 4) It would take some work and you may not want to do it, but you could look at solar water heater feeding one of these tankless to bring the water temp up and not require 2 tankless units.

@forayfog2276 Жыл бұрын
Sorry, I just post to help others so I don't check too often. I didn't check before I added the winch or tow loops, but after there was only about 1-1.5" of travel between shock and bump stop which is not much. Ride was fine, but when you looked at it from the side you could see it sloping to the front. After the spacer I have 2.5-3" of travel to the bump stop, which should really help out on the trails. If I didn't add a winch, I wouldn't do it. If you add the weight in the front (total with the tow loops, winch, winch plate was about 140lbs) I would just to get that extra travel, which is nice if you are doing trails which is why you added the winch. I don't have any regrets installing it. My biggest issue is finding time to hit the trails... :(

How many gallons can it do before it caps the water flow with all 3 breakers working now?
@forayfog2276 Жыл бұрын
I've never had it trip the breakers and the highest pull I've seen is ~ 47amps across all 3 breakers which are dual, so 47x6, 282amps. If you have a 200amp breaker panel, you actually have 400 amps, phase 1 being 200 and phase 2 being 200. Generally you double panel amperage, but learn or hire someone if this is not clear. In my case, which incoming cold water at ~62F and the outflow set at 130F, I get 3gpm. If someone runs a tub full hot and someone runs a shower full hot, the unit regulates the outflow to ensure the set temp is reached on the outflow. The unit throttles the outgoing gpm to make it reach that temp (if it didn't throttle outgoing water, the output would be below the set temp which it can't reach based on incoming water temp and gpm). When it does throttle, you'll see less pressure from the faucet/shower head. It will still be the right temp, but how fast it comes out is effected. My family can generally keep track of who is doing what so its not an issue, but sometimes dishwasher kicks off or washing machine and it will change the temp of the outgoing water until you adjust the handles in a shower/faucet. I'm still happy with it. Nothing is perfect. I would install again for me, but I wouldnt buy a house with electric tankless, it would have to be gas tankless.

@forayfog2276 Жыл бұрын
The fairlead protects the line going into the drum and the line is spooling under the drum. Visually its spooling ~3/4"-1" under the fairlead (fairlead higher than spool) when the line is fully retracted. Without testing, I'd guess (and makes sense) that after you bring the line out a ways it should be going straight in, meaning on level ground the fairlead and the line is spooling directly onto the drum if you had 1/2 the drum or more unspooled so it actually fits better with the spacer.

@forayfog2276 Жыл бұрын
I believe there's a graph on the side of the box that shows incoming water temp = GPM. The colder the incoming water, the slower the GPM (also related to temp you have it set at). I have it set at 130F, that's were the better half wants it. At that temp and incoming at ~63F it starts throttling the water flow at 3 GPM to make it 130F output. I tried setting it lower, 120F, but I didn't see much difference in GPM to warrant changing it lower. If you are in FL and incoming water temp is 70F or higher it might make 7GPM, but I think that would have to be perfect conditions (higher incoming temp and lower set/output temp)
