it is only considered new technology to North America…
Thank you for sharing such wonderful video, checkout wide variety of tankless water heater at CNM online

Thanks Josh great info
@mrlepto Yes, I agree. I’ve known tankless water heaters in South America since 60 years ago.
thanks for the info!
i beg to differ with you – tankless water heaters are not “relatively new technology” as anyone who has travelled outside the United States will agree. i’ve been travelling to Japan for decades and they have been in use there since my first visit. it’s old technology new to the USA for whatever bureaucratic reason…
Still makes it new to Those not living there
Nice job Josh.
These water heaters were already common place in Germany in the ’60s.
it was being used in the U.S. as well
protectionism my foot
I had a propane tankless water heater installed in a cabin 20 years ago .
This technology was invented and developed for industry in the U.S.A. I, however, recommend standard water heaters.
Protectionism.That’s the underlying reason why US did not adapted this kind of technology though it’s being use for a long time in other countries.We have to protect our local industries,which is wrong in this global economy. I’m just wondering why did they not protect the CAR industry?My guest is back then,they undermind or under estimate the technology of other countries,they even refer TOYOTA as TOY. Now the big 3 is suffering.
You don’t deserve to be a Rheem man.
We had many problems with our last Rheem water heater (a regular tank model). The company was hard to deal with and would not offer anything to compensate us for all of time, trouble and frustration. The dip tube was defective. Rheem finally had a plumber install a new water heater, but by that time, we had already decided: NO MORE RHEEM products!
Josh THE DORK !!!
This guy is estupid !
All of this was already being used in South America in the mid 60’s.
relatively new technology?? LOL riiigght… I think its only new it US as US never cared about saving natural resources until couple years ago
i hilly recommend you get some ecosmart, tankless water heater…
Also, the Rheem is HUGE and where is the front faucet and temp control? It’s a drag to live in a country that’s so slow to embrace basic technologies in common use abroad. Google the Rinnai. It’s a good unit.
These are very much NOT new technology. As is often the case, they are new only to us in the US. I have lived in Japan, and they are a fraction of the price and the standard in every home. The Rinnai is around 300$ and has a spout that dispenses warm to boiling water at the kitchen sink. The larger are used for the bathtub and use gas as well.
lol
You clearly are not a BBQ person. It’s been long known that many of the larger outdoor BBQ’s have hot and cold running water.
Get out much?
hahaha i just heard that too lolololololo
BBQ? lololo
Do you live in the US? If so, what state?
BBQ?
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing your experience. Saved me a ton of money!
Thanks for explaning the element ohm meter check. My upper thermostat’s red reset button keeps popping for no apparent reason. I’ll push it & it’ll be fine for a couple of days, then pop again. What could be wrong? How can I test an electric thermostat/reset?

WoW!! Thanks so much!! You have saved me a ton of time, re-work, money, and family hassle with this excellent video… My mother-in-law is asking me to replace the 2 elements in her water heater. I’ve never done it before, this has shown me exactly how to do it!!! Thanks much…
How many amps does a typical 50 gallon electric water heater draw?
“Hot Water Heater” ??? why would you heat hot water?…….Im pretty sure its called a “Water Heater”, that is, its a heater that heats water, hence a “water heater” not a “Hot water heater”
Excellent tip. The 1.5 socket! No special tool set needed.
Great Info ! Kinda sexy too – in a downhome country bumpkin intelligent educated way – and I mean that as a compliment. Girls like rugged guys. They hott !!
well explained vid
Thanks, I’ll spend that new hot water heater money on my kids…. Great video.
Cragarpimp, great eye! I’m sure he’s fixin that leak next. Great video.
Thanks Man.
Very good job explaining.
What about the leak on that thing to the left of the screen…….???
OMG. thats mine, exactly.l blew one yesterday. wowqw
my ohms reading is 186.1. You mention if its low, its going bad, but what if its high?
ugh I cant do this, good lookin thou
Great Job! Very well explained for diy noobs like me. I’m guessing it doesn’t matter which screw on the element goes to + or – wires. Didn’t see any on the elements I purchased.
Very good w/h video,Thanks for giving your time for this.Keep up good work.Can you make a vid on expansion Tanks?
excellent video, very well explained. genius!
thanks for the video, learned alot
Thank you for the video. I learned a few things which makes me happy. I need to remove the annode tube and I think that’s easier than this process. I have to remember to turn off the power first though. That’s one of the things I learned from this video.
Thanks again.
thanks , thats was very helpful
-Leave a hot water faucet open to drain faster.
-If you don’t plan on draining the tank, shut off the power and run hot water until its no longer too hot to burn you if something goes wrong. Then shut off all valves to hydraulically lock the water in the tank. You’ll lose very little water.
whats driping
Thanks for the video, very helpful
