i have a small condo. Will this fill a bathtub replacing a 40 gallon hot water heater?

Based on past experience I would go up one size larger to have enough water for a bath. Showers no problem.

This is a 7 gallon heater so it will not replace a 40 gallon heater. If the thermostat is set to 140 degrees it will provide a good hot shower and recovery is quick.

Im afraid not. If was a tankless water heater i would say maybe but its only 6 gallons.

It is possible. If you turn it to the max heat temp and use half hot and half cold you will have a very warm bath.

I don't think so. We installed it to supply 2 half baths and a kitchen. It works great for that.

I think so, as long as it's metal. The heater is probably 2 inches bigger in diameter than my three gallon double-wall waterer. It could surely handle a larger waterer.

this unit gets very hot but it will kick off a 30 amp breaker if you leave it running for more than 10 minutes. it is intended hand washing and fast hot water in short terms. great for a bar or small sink, bathroom sink. i think you need a 6 gallon water heater for a tub. this unit does heat the water by 40 % of what the ambient water is.

Well it will certainly work but it's overkill. a 40 gallon should only require a 100 - 150 watt model. This one is cheaper so you might as well. That way if you ever upgrade your tank you already have a larger heater.

It should as long as your heater has a 4kw 240v heater now. The one I replaced was in a 15" tube so not sure if it will fit smaller length but chances are yours is probably 15". Hope this helps!

It has to be the Big Buddy Heater the smaller one doesn't have the fitting in it that the hose will fit.

Much has to do with where you live and what your heating requirements are including if you have an associated hot tub. The 250,000 BTU should be more than adequate.

Sorry don' t the size but I bought it for my bathtub and shower combo. I do believe regular size bath tub for 20 yr old home. It fit perfect.

No, sorry, you'll need to upgrade to a 400 amp panel, this unit will provide every bathroom in your house with hot water running constantly 24 hours a day. I built new so it was easy but well worth it when you consider you don't pay a dime for hot water until someone turns on a hot water tap. What's really great about this unit is when you want hotter water it's instant, no waiting for a conventional unit to build up 40 or 50 gallons of extra heat.

I don't Know for sure, but I recommend this product to aquarium of 40 gallon, because my aquarium has 40 gallon.

i guess it would if you have a hose-like connection or can get one. not is made for a bathtub faucet connection

It should work. The heater would be my only concern because there would be no place to attach it so it would not melt the tub.

No to small it would work but over power the heater. You would need the next size up

I used it to replace a faulty plug on my Hot Tub. If you currently have a 15-amp gfci plug on your washer it should work. The plug cured my problems.

You only have 6 gallons and that will give you enought for maybe 9 gallons for water hot enought for a bath and then you will have to wait for the water to heat in the water heater. So,I would say know to your question.

Not sure about code but go with the 80 cfm model .Have the 50 cfm in our 6 x 8' bath and it is slow to exhaust the room
