You don't know how much you take it for granted, until you don't have hot water for a couple of days
Decent price for a Rheem Warrior DV installed. If you want to share the company name, we'll have it "on file" for next time.
That is great.

OH YEAHHHHH!! Thanks. It will need some tweaking - they set them pretty low when they install, probably for liability ( if someone gets scalded, they could blame them ), so we need to adjust it up, for the 100 foot uninsulated run to the furthest tub.
We're HOPING we can afford to get someone to remove the plastic sheet from the bottom of the house, and run us a insulated pex hot water loop and pump, but we're told that JUST one of the pumps for that can cost $600?!
...
Whoa! I guess THAT'S not correct!: http://tinyurl.com/byyau55
That is Very Very True.
And I thank God every time I take a Hot shower.
Guess I may be crazy, But I agree.
I remember heating Water on the Wood or Coal Stove to take a bath.
Now Kids can move the TV around anywhere in the house and watch it.
And they don't thank anyone...
I would just run the water for a bit, Turn it off to let the water temp recover for a bit, then jump into the shower.
Turning the temp up on the heater is not the answer, and may be why you had a problem with the original one.
Or get a Real House with insulated plumbing. Insulating is very important in your neck of the woods.
Have fun.
As far as the Rheem, the one that came with the house lasted about 8 1/2 years but we're hearing rumors that they only last 5 nowdays?
I thank Benjamin Waddy Maughan
interesting article. I guess we should also thank mr. Ruud, whose company was acquired by the company that makes your rheem.
I remember reading a post by our moderator HJ, who opined that the major factors in water heater longevity, of which there are several, have almost nothing to do with the manufacture of the heater and very little to do with things you can control.
It may be a little like toilet flappers: you can take the same Korky flapper and put in the same toilet, and depending on the water district in which the toilet is used, that same flapper may last 2 years or 10 years.
In the water heater forum, many of the respected pros think Rheem is a good brand.
Which in turn is owned by Paloma water heaters out of JAPAN !
They have a pump system on the mkt. That can hook up under your bathroom lav sink and give you hot water with out running a recerc line back to wtr/htr
.
I think people are spoiled in this day and age.
I remember freezing my ass off going to the Outhouse in the winter. Thanks to the Sears catalog we survived, until they started waxing the pages.
Now everyone wants Hot Running water out of the spigot.
And they need Soft Charmin on a music playing Toilet paper holder.
Watts up with all the fancy stuff now a days ?
This is awkward, but...
