I do, and so far so good. I liked the small exit hole as well. They do take a bit to get hot water to you, so I put in a 3 way valve to recirculate the water to my water tank until its warm before showering or doing dishes just to avoid wasting water as I don't carry a lot.

 

thats it mounted above my water tank

 

@FishHog, any updates or thoughts on the suburban tankless heater all this time later? Trying to dig up information on this unit and it’s pretty hard to come by! Are you happy with it? Any complaints? Would you do it again, or consider a different setup? Thanks for your input!

 

Thank you FishHog,
good idea on the 3 way valve, I was wondering about the length of time it took to get hot.
do you have a simple plumbing schematic that shows how the 3 way valve was hooked up?

 

I don't, just ran the hot water line to my shower, added the 3 way valve then the shower head. The outlet of the 3 way is just a line back to my water tank. Turn the valve to recycle, and hot water heater starts. I can feel the hot water on the pipe just before the valve, when its hot, turn the valve to the shower head and shower. I navy shower, so repeat that everytime I turn the water back on to avoid that slug of cold water you get with on demand heater. Works really well for me

 

ok I get the idea from what you said above, simple solution.

Thanks

 

Question. Where exactly is the valve located that you can turn it to the different positions? Great idea, just trying to figure it out. Thank you.

 

Sorry, I haven't been on in a while. Valve is mounted to the shower pipe (where your shower head goes), then the shower head to that valve. Its a simple 3 way valve meant for using a shower head or hand wand. Local home supply stores will carry them. So my shower head is about 1 1/2" further out from the wall than a normal setup.
Hope that makes sense

 

Well I haven't had it in use for very long in below freezing conditions, as I tend to leave my cold climate and go to where its warmer. Van stays warm while I'm doing so and I winterize when I get back home. The anti freeze protection definitely kicks in as I had to pull my fuse to it to stop it from running while I was using the van during hunting season, with no water as I didn't need it at my buddies camp. I can't really comment on longterm below freezing use.

 

I have used Botabay tankless water heater, which has by far no leaks, hot water is consistent, and the stainless steel finish and slim profile make the installation look classy. Highly recommended!

 

I recommend Rinnai Indoor, this water heater is very quiet. The best part about owning a tankless pitcher is that you never run out of hot water no matter how much you use it.
