Do you use this with a direct vent condensing boiler too? I'm debating getting this Rheem RTGH-95DVLN to go with a direct vent Burnham Alpine 119,000

I only use it as a direct vent (pvc vent) water heater. We have been very pleased with it.

I am just using mine for standard water heating an have forced air heat. Unfortunately mine is still sitting in the box as I'm finishing off a remodel/addition to a home I'll be moving into shortly. Sorry can't be of more help.

I have no idea man, I am using this at my home as replacement to my big water tank and it works great for 3 washroom.B Reddy

I have a direct vent gas heater as well for my house. So I no longer have any hot vent stacks in the house; both use the PVC intake and exhaust vents. FYI You have to use separate intake and exhausts for each system; you cannot tie the two systems together.

Normally, you would use a twin tank water softener to supply a boiler - this so that you will always have an uninterrupted 24/7 supply of soft water - required when supplying make-up to a boiler. A more suitable one for this application 15 HP application would be found by searching Amazon using ASIN B000GEBZC2. We are assuming that you feed pipe size is ¾". Please let us know if you have any questions, CAI Technologies

James, I installed two about a year on my Columbia sailboat and have been very happy with them. One is in the head and the other in the main cabin. One is set up as intake and the other as exhaust. Keeps the condensation down. Very happy so far.

This will work with any radiator or heat exchange coil. While I haven't checked, some people claim up to a 20psi drop in system pressure which is an increase in efficiency and system longevity. http://www.ericthecarguy.com/forum/18-The-EricTheCarGuy-Video-Forum/51745-increasing-ac-performance-by-cleaning-condensers?limitstart=0

"&gt;&gt; ATTENTION!!! 3" or 4" PVC venting can only be used on condensing heaters (PVC adapter is built-in). - See more at: http://www.noritz.com/residential-products/nrc111dv/#sthash.QEx6SGiw.dpuf" http://www.noritz.com/residential-products/nrc111dv/ That's a quote from Noritz. Using common pvc for the vent makes the total cost HUNDREDS of dollars less than having to use stainless steel vent, or the proprietary venting of another brand. FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS! The Laws of Physics don't abate for the 'it ought to' crowd. PVC can ONLY be used on CONDENSING heaters. IT WILL MELT, OR WORSE, IF INSTALLED ON NON-CONDENSING HEATERS! Follow the instructions for the specific model you buy, no matter which one you choose.

I had a problem with a 2.0 GPM showerhead and my Rheem 13 instant on heater. If you don't demand enough hot water (.5gpm) the heater will not even come on and I had a problem with the water temp switching hot cold hot cold. I went up to a 2.5 GPM shower head and it works fine. I personally would not recommend under a 2.5 GPM showerhead. If you're just using hot water it will be fine, it is true that the lower the flow the hotter the water. But if you're trying to mix hot and cold, if you anywhere near one-third hot and two thirds cold it won't even come on with a 1.5 gpm fixture.

No it is not. The model you are asking about is commonly used on Carrier units and not Rheem. Also the hookup to the furnace is a little different ,plus the wires are not the same. Good Luck..

I have not instAlled unit due to contractor delays. It should be, but if the exchange unit is elevated above condenser unit, additional coolant is nessary to overcome atmospheric pressure. Can you advise on your experience?

You might want to ask plumber about putting both systems in line, but I'm guessing that it's not the best idea. I'mpretty sure the unit won't fire if you've got 180f going in, but you'd also have 180f coming out - which is enough to burn you, regardless what it does to the unit. Personally, I would keep the two systems separate and install some sort of crossover. But I'd talk to a plumbing/heating professional...

Some run hotter than others...my SPT raises room almost 10 deg. My Whynter is specifically designed to run cooler...It's still puts out some warm air but nothing like my SPT dehumid. does. I like the Whynter for that reason. It also seems to get the job done faster.

The venting is very important for the operation of this equipment. It must be mounted near an outside wall, and the distance needed to run the vent pipe is dependent on how many bends, etc. It is NOT included with the water heater and must be purchased separately. Amazon carries the vent piping that would work with this unit. I would check the owner's manual for the unit to see a better description of venting requirements.

Hi,This requires a flue duct vent. Please check out the following link with the product manual I believe it will be helpful to you:http://www.marey.com/productDetailsi.asp?productID=7Kind regards,Rebeca

I waited 4 days...my DW has a vent towards the top by the counter, I was really worried about the steam affecting it, but I didn't have any problems.

Yes... it is interchangeable. I think that out of the box the air inlet was already on the right. My unit is installed with the vent on the right... so obviously it will be okay for you.

I used it with a side vent Dometic and it has made a big difference. I placed it by the upper vent right below the condenser fins.

Most, if not all, of the thermostats you will encounter have been color coded for commonality. So yes, you should use the RWGY terminals. If it is at all possible, try to verify what those original wires are for. For example, the G wire might be for the fan. Is there anything in the manual that says the G terminal is for the fan? If so, this is the correct terminal.Good luck and enjoy saving $$ with the new timer system!(I apologize for taking so long for this response)

Not for boiler use, nor approved by any state code to do so either. Can it be done yes, but if you have to ask, this is your clue your on the wrong track. I've repaired them in this application, and the heat exchanger doesn't last so long, also as mentioned 140. Is the max temp. For this unit. However Rinnai does make a wall hung boiler that will suit your needs, obviously your wood boiler would act as a buffer tank, without storage your limited to 3500-4000sqft of well insulated living space.
