If you can do the plum/elec you can program this thing...I did the plumb/elec thing myself and installed this baby! I did not know anything about pools until i bought my house.very simple instructions....compared to understanding electricity but,if you don't know anything about electricity get an electrician

if you do it yourself, you blow the warranty. It's a 3 year warranty if professionally installed, but only a 60-day warranty if you do it yourself.

I don't have a handy man bone in my body. I called a plumber. They can quote over the phone how much the install will be.

Sally, Yes. My reason is this: If you are replacing a old timer with new, the component parts down stream --the electronically-operated valves -- don't care what kind of timer you are using. For all "they" care, it could be a timer from another manufacturer. You are good to go! The only semi-difficult part of installation is getting the wiring correct when you make the transfer. I took a picture to use as a guide. Also, change the internal 9 volt back-up battery once a year. That will keep your programmed settings in memory if there's a power failure. Cheers, Jerry

I don't know since I had a plumber do it. But it does come with clear directions. Plumber did it in 10 mins. If you're handy it should be easy.

Plumbers are in business to make money . It takes a lot of work to install a gas water heater .It took me a half an hour to install my Rheem .My electric dropped dramatically .Gas prices are rising and not environmentally friendly !!

Yes, I did it a few weeks ago. Much easier than programing assuming your current one is already programmed.

Just an FYI - I am not a plumber - although I do most of my own plumbing. This was not the most difficult thing to install - however a lot of thought in to how to install it had to go in. Most plumbers who I showed it to thought I was wasting my money and it seemed as if they thought that well -if you can afford one of those than you can afford the $500 for me to install it. I installed it (and my entire water filter system in less than 4 hours - but I had to use all copper since that is the code here). Most water systems enter the house on different size pipes. At first I thought ours was 1" - but I am glad I checked and saved the return charge - since ours was only " however - most that I have seen are 3/4" or 1" pipes I decided to add this to the end of our water filtration system (since most of the water goes through there) and I made sure to installed a union fitting onto both ends in case I need to remove it for repair or replacement. Both ends of the brass fitting are threaded (I guess in case you need to remove it you don't have to un-solder it). As for the ADT pulse system - I am assuming that as long as you get the one that z-wave - than that should work. I can't say for sure since I don't use ADP (hate monthly charges) and use the Mi Casa Verde VeraLite Home Controller (http://www.amazon.com/Mi-Casa-Verde-VeraLite-Controller/dp/B007005364/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389557420&sr=8-1&keywords=Mi+Casa+Verde+VeraLite+Home+Controller)

This is the wife who pays the electric bill and that isn't the case for us. It is only drawing from the electric when it is actively heating water. If you read the review we posted you can see we use a lot of hot water. There had been no significant change in our bill. Also it cuts the cost of my gas bill since I no longer have to keep 50 gallons of water hot. At worst the cost negates itself between the two. Lastly I can't put panels on my roof the produce natural gas. The next thing the plumber will say is you don't want to get one of the electric heaters because the elements will get scales. While this is true I have seen plenty of videos and if you just perform some simple maintenence it is not a problem. And by simple I mean flushing the system at least once a year with white vinegar. Remember the plumber not only hooks up the water, he does the gas too so he makes more money that way. Also most tankless gas water heaters retail for about $1300 and that is the one he will try to sell you.

I haven't read the manual cover to cover, but I believe the answer is "Yes." I wouldn't do it myself, and I don't know the cost, but I'm sure you can find out online.

It would be best to let your local technician program it. The instructions are confusing.

I would recommend going to miklor.com that she the best resource I have found. Manual programming is very hard but it can be done.

I agree with other people, that sounds pretty steep. I did it myself with this water heater and it cost me a couple hundred in parts. I did not get a permit though.

It depends - the unit does not come with ANYTHING - If you are good at fabricating the plumbing and electrical needed to connect this - then you would be fine, otherwise this is not intended to just "connect and forget." My pool installation person was going to connect this for me. He called Ecosmart customer service and they were very unhelpful. They also don't even sell an installation kit. So you get the box pictured and that's it. I wouldn't recommend it. I returned it.

Yes take the key to your local ford dealer. The programming will cost about $100
