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..
