Farm Innovators Submergible Bucket Heater with Attached Guard Model W-449, 1,000-Watt Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We use this as an auxiliary heater to get our hot tub up to temperature more quickly.
Works great - cuts heating time by 60%. I also use it my shop to get warm water - rather than the expense of installing a hot water heater.
Wish the cord was a bit longer, but the guard around the element keeps it off the bottom of the tub
and the 1000W power makes it easy to plug into any electrical outlet.
This is a well made product - lots of uses around the house.

Bosch ProTankless GWH C 800 ES LP Tankless Water Heater, Propane Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have the Natural Gas version of this. I learned more than I anticipated needing to, on my quest for the perfect tankless water heater. The Bosch 800 series was my perfect model.
While it is now obvious to me why this model is head and shoulders above anything else, you may need to spend some time learning about tankless water heaters to see why it is so significant.
1) Ultra efficient, it has 92% efficiency. Only the top of the line models are this efficient. This means lower yearly costs.
2) Powerful: 10 gpm! This puppy can power most houses that have multiple showers and sinks. It is their highest flow unit. It can also be daisy chained so another unit can be attached.
3) 15 year PRO warranty. Instead of the 5 year or 10 year of other models.
4) New Technology. This is the only Bosch unit to have the technology to create this efficiency and the cooling benefits.
5) Reliable. Even though it is cutting edge, some of its parts are based on the 715 unit that is very reliable.
6) Easy repair. Bosch has one of the most extensive list of certified repairmen. Also, unlike other companies, most of the parts can be replaced and are easily available, due to its popularity.
8) Low heat. This model has 2 condensers. That is why it is more efficient. The added benefit is that the heat coming out of this is like a hair dryer. Much MUCH cooler than most units.
9) PVC pipe can be used. I dont know of ANY other water heater that can be vented with PVC pipe. That means smaller pipes, easier work, and much cheaper. Normally water heaters need galvanized vent or Stainless steel venting which is extremely expensive. It can easily cost $300 or more.
10) Concentric Venting (one hole). Because the exhaust is so cool, you can use a Concentric Vent to combine both intake and exhaust from one hole (wall or roof). Without this a water heater you need TWO 3 or 4 inch diameter holes, at least 3 feet from each other. So the extremely hot exhaust does not get used in the intake and overheat the unit.
NOTE:
I am just a consumer. I am not a guy that fixes these, nor do am I associated with a company that sells them. I just wanted a tankless & researched like crazy. Rheem, Takagi, and Rinnai were other companies who make products I considered.

Marley 13,650 BTU Electric Construction Heater, Model# BRH402 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I may not be qualified to review something that I have no experience with, but just to set an expectation for others like myself. I am a little disappointed that there are not fan-speed settings, because this little unit is loud, and although the item-description does not claim anything different, it just seems like the engineering of the fan speed could have been adjusted lower. Especially since the heat-delivered out of the grill is not exactly hot. Hot enough to classify the unit as a heater, but not hot enough to deserve the continual jet-blast of "warm" air. One point of interest in favor of this 240volt, 20AMP Marley heater, is that when the fan bearings finally give-up their constant screaming, the solid metal construction will benefit as an attractive and convenient step-stool.

Watts Series 70AT Hot Water Extender Tempering Valve 1/2" (0215470) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The valve received was not the one ordered (and not the one shown above) The one above is a soldered version and I received the threaded version which I recall as being significantly less expensive. The soldered version would not have required any plumbing changes, but as I was having difficulty getting sufficient hot water for bathing, so I reluctantly made the changes and installed. Considering the price of the part, I would think that the right one could have been shipped. Seriously doubt that I would use this service again.

AMTROL 15 Extrol Expansion Tank Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a solar hot water system from the '70s. I had to replace the Extrol expansion tank about four years ago. Thirty years of service is not bad. The replacement tank was a Watts and only lasted four years before it started leaking. Comparing the two, I would say that this product is a good choice if you want a tank at will last a long time.

Fahrenheat Electric 5120 BTU Baseboard Heater, Model# FBE15002 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The heater I got is made in the USA. Hope they continue to make them here onshore, but gladly, mine doesn't have the toxic fumigants embedded in the paint (and other parts) that other heaters have from the shipping container fumigants they apply to the shipping container interiors when they ship from China (to prevent mold and mildew, and insects in the containers, which are sometimes enclosed for months.) Heat really activates these chemical toxins, embedded in the materials. Those toxic vapors take a while to gas-off of a new heater, and I have enough health problems and headaches without them.
I gassed this unit off at 1500W outside for a few hours and used it at 1000 watts indoors without any problems, and I have severe multiple chemical sensitivity.
The heating element in this portable heater is the same size as a 1000-Watt stationary baseboard. On the 1000-WATT setting (low) it gives a steady nice heat and doesn't get the chassis extremely hot on the outside - probably because of the angle at which the heater stands, which maximizes airflow convection. The housing doesn't even get as hot as a 1000-WATT stationary baseboard, which sits vertically against a wall, not at an angle, like this one does.
The "enamel" paint on all heaters is not really a traditional mineral enamel coating, but a modern polyester imitation, sometimes called "powder coat." It is like when they call eating utensils "silverware" which is mostly stainless steel. Heat this "enamel" paint with a torch and it wont blister or crack, it will melt.
I believe I called this company on the phone and I think they said they used epoxy paint, but please check with them yourself if you are concerned about this. Their product line of (aka Q-Mark, farenheat) heaters has a good price for a good basic product.
The location of the thermostat on this item is much better than the location of the thermostat on radiator-type stand-up oil-filled heaters (another good choice), unfortunately, most of them are now made offshore as far as I have seen in stores (and therefore very toxic, because the paint picks up bug and fungus fumigant vapors in the shipping containers.)
In element heaters, there is very little heat at the ends of the element. The heat gradually increases to the middle of the element. The thermostat is at the end. That means element heaters are less likely to effect the control of the thermostat relative to the ambient temperature in the room, which will have more effect on the thermostat than it will with a hydronic (oil-filled) heater, especially radiator-types. That makes the element heater far better for heat control and moderation.
