Hello. I've been a member for a short time, reading up on tankless water heaters. I found Rinnai RC80HPi to be a perfect fit, and meets all specs to get every rebate and incentive possible. Except I asked a question about my LG H/E (front load) washer. At the start of each cycle, it "pulses" water into the drum. Its not often I hear a steady fill of water enter the washer.
So I emailed LG about this, and here's what they said:
"When using a tank less water heater, it is necessary to leave the water running before starting a wash cycle. If not the amount of water will not be enough to start the heating element and the unit will drag cold water in every cycle."
Well, thats not a surprising answer, but I was hoping for one that tells me how to actually make the washer work with a tankless heater. IMO, LG and may be other manufactures have goofed up. For a high efficient water heater not to work with a high efficient washer is a joke!
Any ideas?
