Honeywell HE360A Whole House Powered Humidifier Review

I installed the HE360A onto a new Ruud 95%+ high-efficiency dual-stage heating and cooling system and I'm controlling the unit with a Ritetemp 6080 thermostat. The humidifier works beautifully, and based upon my research with heating and cooling specialists, this unit is optimally-designed to conserve power and to protect the heating and cooling system. Bypass units (that use a piece of ducting connecting the return and supply sides of the system) rob the heating system's efficiency and will push moist air through the system. Installing this unit on the supply side of the ductwork ensures that all of the humidified air will be moved into the home, not back into the system. While this design does use more water than some other units, the savings in power and the increased efficiency of the unit will minimize its financial impact. By the way, I attached the unit to a hot water supply, not cold, as this helps the moisture to be absorbed into the heated air.
The newer Honeywell humidifiers create steam to humidify the air. While this is probably optimal for humidification purposes and should minimize the amount of water used, the amount of electricity these systems use to create the steam will definitely impact your pocketbook. From a "green" perspective, I find that water is a cheaper and more renewable resource than electrical power. The old-fashioned drum humidifier units will save water, but use a holding tray of water to soak a pad that the air travels through. If not cleaned thoroughly and often, they develop mold and mildew and that will get circulated through your house... a very dangerous and unhealthy option.
Installing this unit did prove a bit of a challenge because of it's combination with the Ritetemp 6080 electronic thermostat, which includes a humidistat. Most online "experts" say that the HE360 units won't work with this kind of thermostat/humidistat because of incompatible electrical design of the two systems. However, I'm a firm believer that anything is possible with enough research and who doesn't like a challenge? To make this work, I purchased a small 24VAC SPDT relay from Grainger, part number 4A708 (about $15) and did NOT use the installation kit recommended for the humidifier or the humidistat that was provided with the unit. Since my air handler provides 24VAC to the thermostat and the thermostat interally provides settings to determine when the humidifier will run, I used the relay to control power to the 120VAC side of the system which acts as a switch to turn the entire humidifier on and off. To accomplish this, I installed a new electrical circuit and outlet to be used solely by the humidifer. I installed the relay inside an electrical box to control the power to this outlet. Using low voltage wiring I connected the relay to the "C"ommon contact on the air handler and to the "H"umidifier wire from the thermostat. I then used a wire nut to connect the two yellow wires on the HE360, which basically sets the unit "on" any time it has power. When the air handler is running in heat mode and the thermostat determines that humidification is required, the relay is powered and provides 120VAC power to the outlet and the humidifier is turned on. When the relay loses power, the 120VAC is turned off that the HE360 shuts off. The thermostat can be set to work two ways: to run the humidifier and the air handler's blower anytime when the humidistat says that humidity is required, or to run the humidifier only when the air handler is in heat mode and the blower is running and humidity is required. I could have directly wired this unit to the air handler's power, but I chose to use the outlet so that I could unplug the unit in an emergency or for service.
I strongly recommend this unit... I've tried several of whole house units over the last 20 years and this is the first that really works. I've already helped others to install these units on their HVAC systems and all of them work great, none have had any problems and all are amazed at the difference the humidifier makes in their homes.

Reliance 6 40 GORT 606 Series 40 Gallon Natural Gas Water Heater Review

Reliance 6 40 GORT 606 Series 40 Gallon Natural Gas Water Heater
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this to save myself a bit of money, but it hasn't really done that. It worked flawlessly for about a year (I purchased it in 2008) but then the thermocouple went out. In addition, the electric igniter also went out (which I didn't even know was possible) so that once the thermocouple was replaced it was not possible to re-light it. I could not find a part number for the igniter, and emailed the company to see if they could help me with it. They responded 5 business days later with a part number (and news that pretty much the only thing covered by warranty is the tank against leaks), by which point I had already bought an aftermarket igniter that would do the job, but just hangs limply off the side of it by the lead wire. It worked flawlessly again for about 8 months, then the thermocouple went out again. I replaced it again -the aftermarket igniter is still working. And another ~1 year later the thermocouple went out yet again. I don't know if there is a design flaw in this specific model but having to replace the thermocouple once a year doesn't seem like a reasonable trade to save a hundred bucks over buying a better brand that might warranty the defective parts or offer a solution if a design flaw causes a part to fail repeatedly.
I certainly won't buy another Reliance product.

Eemax SP55 "Single Point" Electric Tankless Water Heater Review

Eemax SP55 Single Point Electric Tankless Water Heater
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm glad someone found this useful -- not me. I found lots of problems with mine:
1. There's a 3 second delay, causing a huge cold water sandwich, i.e., if you shut it off, or adjust it and it drops below the minimum flow, you'll get a huge wave of cold water for about six seconds, 3 for the delay, 3 more to warm up.
2. No more warm water trickle. In order to get half warm, half cold, you need to adjust the flow to 1.4 gallons/minute, hardly a small flow. The heater will not turn on unless 0.7 gpm flows in the hot water side.
3. Adjustment of temperature is a major job -- you need to shut off the dedicated breaker, remove the plate, and guess at where you want the setting, put the cover back on, restore the breaker. Then repeat the process until the temperature is correct.
4. It requires a dedicated 220 V 40 amp (for my model) line, an expensive item to install. And flourescent lights will flicker just a bit when the heater is on.
We like to wash small cups, silver, or a single dish or two by turning on a small warm or hot flow and rinsing, soaping, and rinsing in one stage, using a small amount of water. Then if we find another dish, it's nice to find the water is still warm. We can turn off and not waste the water between small washings. We've developed this habit due to the occasional water rationing we get here in CA.
Not so with the Eemax... Once you shut it off, you won't see hot water again for about 6 seconds. That's a lot of water down the drain. In general, this system is a huge water waster.
We find ourselves either scalding our hands, or washing in cold water. We paid for a new dedicated 220v line and breaker, and installation, which took a couple of days and cost a couple of grand. It was a collosal waste to buy this for a kitchen. I wouldn't want it in my bathroom either, no more running trickles of water for shaving, and either scalded hands or cold water washes.
The only good thing it does is provide the dish washer with very hot water. It works fine there, and I suppose I'll leave it there. But I'll have to add a small tank now for the hot water tap.
I suppose if you like to fill a sink with hot water for the wash, and again for the rinse, it might work for you. If that's always the way you work.
Save your money. Use a small tank for kitchen or bathroom, use the 110 volt existing line, and forget Eemax and equivalents!

Bosch GL8Ti Ariston Pro Ti Electric Mini-Tank Water Heater Review

Bosch GL8Ti Ariston Pro Ti Electric Mini-Tank Water Heater
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love the idea of this water heater!
Installation should be easy..
Uses standard 3/4 inch threaded lines for in, out, and overflow.
However.. the GL8Ti has 2 overflow ports..
You plug one (depending on top or side mounting) and use the other one for overflow..
This is a very nice feature, and makes mounting quite flexible.
The fittings going into the heater are brass and should seal OK..
However they are NOT tapered (as I think they should be).
Both of these ports leaked with what I would consider good/normal installation (teflon tape).
Both of these ports leaked with "upgraded" installation (teflon tape, plus joint compound).
Both of these ports held with a "super upgraded installation" (Teflon tape, plus joint compound, plus a thick seal gasket). (Gaskets are not a good idea in a water heating device.. They tend to rot out)
Took me a day and a half to diagnose and "address" the leaks..
I hope the the gaskets hold a good long time..
Made in China, with some components made in Italy...
Other than the install leak pain..... (which is/was big..)
I Love the way this operates!
-Runs on a normal 110 line!
-The insulation is fantastic, with water staying warm (without power) seemingly forever!
All of my future installs will probably be with the 4Ti (1/2 inch lines), just to avoid the darn 2nd overflow plug port..

Eemax EX280T2T Series Three, Whole House Electric Tankless Water Heater Review

Eemax EX280T2T Series Three, Whole House Electric Tankless Water Heater
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
***See Update Below***
The unit works well. Was easily installed. Water heat is fine for our small-demand house (2bed/2bath/1500SF). The only thing that takes some getting used to is the minimum flow requirement. There's no way to get any hot water without turning a given fauct on at over 50% capacity. And single-knob showers can get a little tricky to balance.
NOTEZ BIEN:
Before installing, verify that your grid tie-in is sufficient. My panel is 200A, but the utility company tied in with a wire only capable of carrying 100A. This was fine for my house until this unit was installed. It requires 3@40A breakers, which was no problem...plenty of room on the board. But now, whenever the hot water flows, the lights throughout the house start a pulsing. I've called my retail provider, my utilities service provider, and the service director several times over the last 2 weeks, and can't get anyone to get out here and run thicker copper. It's not too annoying, but I'm concerned that the wire's going to fry if they don't get their act together and figure out whose job it is to fix this.
****Update****
Even with the electrical issues taken care of, the unit I bought, which worked well for several months, started acting up on me. Intermittent hot/lukewarm was a major issue. No flow problems: was running a shower alone. After some time, I opened the box and noticed that the unit had a leak in one of the 3 "coils" (tubes, really). I called the manufacturer, they verified the warranty info, and sent me a new unit. The new unit worked for about 6 months before it also stopped providing hot water. Not sure how I ended up with 2 dogs, but that was enough. No leaking the second time around, but I gave up and went with a regular tank, as the house was by then a rental.
I'd drop it to one star if it wasn't for the great customer service I received.

I expect my appliances to be low maintenance. Aquastar 125B was installed 2-1/2 years ago in new construction, provides plenty of hot water for 2 low-flow showers simultaneously. Read manual when I moved into house, failed to perform annual maintenace of unit.
If you buy this product order water valve rebuild kit, you will need it.
In addition to annual maintenance the water control valve must be rebuilt every 2-5 years or a dangerous overheat condition arises. Mine currently requires rebuild. $15 in parts $30 shipping FedEx. The two set screws that connect the water control valve to the gas control valve are deterioted and frozen. The instructions say that if this condition exists, stop and call tech support as the gas control valve may be damaged. Repeated calls to tech support, more than 10, have resulted in no answer. Left messages that have not been returned. Emailed Controlled energy to get necessary parts. So far, eight days and no hot water; wife not very happy; I'm suffering.

GE 45133 Choice-Alert Wireless Water Leak/Flood Sensor Review

GE 45133 Choice-Alert Wireless Water Leak/Flood Sensor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product is good in theory but it does not perform. It took almost an hour for the alarm to go off while my basement was flooded with an inch of water. Don't waste your money.

Click Here to see more reviews about: GE 45133 Choice-Alert Wireless Water Leak/Flood Sensor

The GE 45133 Choice Alert Wireless Water Leak/Flood Sensor warns you of leaks or possible flooding that can lead to costly water damage. You can use this sensor to monitor areas of your home where there's a risk of water leaks, such as near washing machines, dishwashers, air conditioners, hot water tanks, plumbing lines, and more. The compact GE 45133 Water Leak Sensor runs off a single lithium battery that can power the sensor for up to 24 months.
Note: The sensor must be used with the GE 45129 Wireless Control Center or the GE 45142 Choice Alert Starter Kit (each sold separately). The GE 45133 Water Leak Sensor can work alongside other wireless Choice Alert components as part of a GE Choice Alert Wireless Alarm System.
Part of the GE Choice Alert Wireless Alarm SystemThe GE 45133 Water Leak Sensor is part of the GE Choice Alert Wireless Alarm System line of products. Cost-effective and easy to install, Choice Alert components offer wireless operation, multi-zone coverage, home and away settings, all-weather function, and expandability for complete home protection.
With wireless capabilities, Choice Alert products require no complicated wiring, drilling or expensive installation costs. And because they are designed to be part of a self-contained system, there are no monthly usage charges. System components are simple enough for anyone to use, and they can be combined to provide a customized blanket of protection over your entire property.
Wireless Control Center for Sensor MonitoringThe entire Choice Alert Security System is designed around the Wireless Control Center, the system's hub. The Control Center monitors each and every sensor that is wirelessly connected to it. As many as four sensors can be programmed in each of four zones, giving you the security of up to 16 sensors to guard your entire home, including sensors for doors, windows, gates, water leaks, and motion detection.
The Wireless Control Center allows you to secure your system with a custom four-digit code that can be changed at any time. Plus, the center lets you control many system features. For example, you can select 'Home' mode for an instant alarm and 'Away' mode for a delayed alarm. In addition to the armed alarm system, the Control Center also offers a visible and audible Zone Notification alert system (with a choice of continuous alert or single chime mode) and a dedicated alert zone (Zone 4). The center wirelessly transmits and receives signals up to 150 feet.
Additionally, the Wireless Control Center features a low-battery indicator that will alert you when battery power is low in a specific zone, so you'll know exactly when to replace the batteries in every one of your components.
Combine Components for Total Home CoverageIn addition to the Water Leak Sensor, there are several components available for use with the Wireless Control Center, including a door/window sensor, a motion detector, a secondary audio alarm siren, a signal repeater (for enhanced wireless range), a garage door sensor, and a Silent Alert LED indicator. Add up to 16 sensors and give yourself the peace of mind that only a complete home protection can provide.
Water Leak Sensor Quickly Diagnoses SeepageWith the GE 45133 Water Leak Sensor, costly water damage is a thing of the past. The 45133 will instantly detect water leaks with its probe, and it will report information back to the Choice Alert Wireless Control Center (sold separately) from up to 150 feet away. Determining a potential water leak before it causes costly damage is what makes the GE 45133 such a sensible and cost-effective component to add to your Choice Alert Security System.
Compact Sensor Is Easy to Install AnywhereInstall the GE 45133 Choice Alert Sensor anywhere that has the potential for water leaks, such as near a dishwasher, under the sink, by the water heater, or any other area that is at risk of water damage. Installation couldn't be easier; simply mount the sensor with the probe pointed down using either screws or double-sided tape (both included), and it will detect water accumulating in that area. Like all Choice Alert sensors, the GE 45133 Water Leak Sensor is wireless and will only function with the Choice Alert Wireless Control Center (sold separately).
This compact sensor weighs less than four ounces, and it's backed by a one-year limited warranty.
What's in the BoxGE 45133 Water Leak Sensor and Probe, two screws, two plastic anchors, double-sided tape, and mounting plate.

Reliance 9000429-045 Heavy Duty Heating Element Wrench Review

Reliance 9000429-045 Heavy Duty Heating Element Wrench
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is an inexpensive tool that will do the job provided you have another tool to help you along the way. I tried to use this alone to get out my elements. Man, simply wasn't happening. I twisted and twisted until my hands hurt. Keep in mind that the little cross bar you're twisting with is very short and it's hard to get any leverage. Keep in mind also that the back end of this is totally circular. Had they just blocked off the back end like the front end, you could easily put a big plumbing wrench on it and could twist away. I was able to use said plumbing wrench in a Rube Goldberg fashion on the bar and was able to get the element out, but it was much harder than it should have been.
The better, much easier solution is to buy a water heater element socket. All it is is a 1 1/2 inch socket, usually sold for a 1/2 inch drive wrench. You can buy them on Amazon. They cost about $11-$13. If you have a 1/2 inch drive torque wrench at the house, you're in business. If not, you can buy a breaker bar here on Amazon. Here's a nice little combo: Tekton by MIT 1828 water heater element socket and Neiko 25-inch breaker bar. The breaker bar is about $22. Now that combo is $25 more than just buying this wrench, but this is the right way to do the job and you're not going to skin your knuckles or kill your shoulder. When I had a professional plumber out to change out the elements (and this was when I realized how easy this job was and how I could do it myself) he used a socket and a breaker bar. Buy the right tools and DIY.

Camco 11572 Aluminum Anode Rod Review

Camco 11572 Aluminum Anode Rod
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I picked-up a few of these here when one of our 3 Water Heaters failed after only 4 years; a leak had developed at one of the top welds and so wasn't just a matter of re-seating a fitting up there. In looking at the failed heater's Anode Rod, it was almost all wire i.e. no sacrificial metal left so clearly the top of the WH had rusted-out somewhere already.
I've now replaced the ARs on the other two of our WHs and sure enough they were almost gone as well--hopefully w/the new rods they will last indefinitely. I'm already planning to replace all 3 (again) in another 3 years!
Some things to know:
1. There are "flexible" anode rods available at much greater cost, but you should be able to angle this 42" rod in almost anywhere. If not you can cut it down and save big $$$.
2. You will most likely need a 1/2" Impact Wrench to get the old AR out--it will be turned-in very tight! I bought the cheapest Impact Wrench I could find as this is the only application I will likely have for one.
3. You will also need a 1 1/16" half-inch socket to extract the old AR. These aren't in most sets but you can buy them individually at the local hardware store.
4. You'll use teflon tape to wrap the threads of the new AR to assure "no leaks". Don't worry that this will keep the AR from working i.e. it will not block the electrical flow. When you screw-in the new AR the threads will cut-thru the tape and make a good enough connection.
5. Finally, as always start the AR into the Water Heater BY HAND, and don't use the Impact Wrench to install it--just snug it down with your 1/2 inch ratchet by hand. Check it periodically for a day or three to make sure there are no leaks.
Thanks Amazon for making these available--for some reason despite our awful water these are impossible to come by in local retail stores!

This is a great product, the only real drawback is that with San Diego California's extremely hard water, it needs
cleaned and a new anode rod screwed in every six months - I am finally breaking down a buying a wet/vac to make the job much easier. That being said, it is perfect for my condo that has never had proper hot water to the kitchen (in 20 years time). As my condo hot water heater is common to the entire wing, I made sure when purchasing this 4 gallon water heater that I could plumb the "hot" water into the "cold" intake of the water heater, and thus boost my "hot" water coming into my kitchen to a proper temperature for my sink, dishwasher, and front-load washer. To me it is so very well worth cleaning and servicing the unit every six months to have the luxury or proper hot water in my kitchen, and to know that when the condo hot water is on the fritz, I have hot water for my sink and appliances anyway. Since this unit has a convenient on/off switch on the front, I simply turn the unit off when I leave for the day, and turn it on when I want.

It was relatively straight forward to replace and install on my furnace.
I replaced the motor in March 07, after 10 years of operation from the OEM motor. This replacement motor only lasted 17 months. This motor of course only has a 12 month warranty, now requiring me to replace it again after one season. The voltages being delivered to the motor are consistent, and it is somewhat of a disappointment that it was not built with longevity in mind.
