Tankless Water Heater Eccotemp L5 Portable Tankless Water Heater and Outdoor Shower
I got this dude to replace a 50 gal massive water heater that is minutes
away from dumping 3 oceans of water on my new hardwood floors (or so my
wife thinks). I didn't want to deal with installing the crazy expensive
vent pipes through my attic and roof so I decided to put it outside. I
chose a spot right next to the bathroom since one common complaint is
the time it takes to get the hot water to the faucet with these tankless
heaters. After getting all the water lines moved, gas hooked up, and
electrical ran to the unit I cranked the thermostat to 120 and jumped in
the shower. I was met with glorious hot water...for 30 seconds then
succumbed to the icey frigid water sent from the depths of the Arctic.
Frustrated and cold since it was around 35 degrees outside, I dry off
and go outside to see what the heck is happening. Long story short, I
had put a Rubbermaid cabinet around the unit and up against my house to
block the unit from the Colorado mountain elements and keep the pipes
from freezing. When the heater turns on it puts out a fair amount of
exhaust which filled the cabinet, leaving no oxygen to the flame which
turned the burner off and left me frozen and alone. I took the cabinet
doors off leaving the sides, roof, and floor to keep the rain/snow/wind
off of it best I could and now it works like a dream. Would highly
recommend. Super simple to set up as long as you give it enough vent
space.
