I bought the extra valves as suggested but it did come with the valves in the package. I ended up returning the the extra valves I had ordered.

The Rinnai model RL94iN includes a set of valves with the water heater. Unfortunately, the Amazon description does not indicate that point. As a result, I purchased a set of valves separately, and had to return it later for a less than full refund. The water heater is very particular and sensitive to the type of exhaust pipes used. You cannot merely connect it to an old existing double wall system used by the water heater being replaced. Otherwise you get an error code, and the system will not operate. Check your manual.

No, the valves came included. I actually purchased a separate set of valves for the same reason but returned them since the unit came with its own valves.

The only additinonal purchases I had was the recirculating pump for instant hot / warm water, and the exhaust pipe including roof attachment. I am extremly satisfied with the product, and the monthly natural gas charge is $35- $40 per month

No the valves included with unit work perfectly. No need to buy extra valves.

Just what it says. You have to buy the valve separately. The valve is most of the plumbing hardware, that is mostly under the sink and is not visible after the spout and handles are installed.

I installed mine without a plumber. Works perfectly. Less than 1 hour to install and test. Plug and play design. Its not hard to do. Need to have a power source within 5 feet of the valve location. You can always call a plumber if complications develop.

I just finished installing this and I can tell you that it "does" come with the air valve and gauge on the top of the filter. I don't know why they confuse the description with "without valve". It comes just as the picture shows and since there isn't a backwash valve in the pic, why would one think that it does? Idk, why does McDs have to put "caution, contents may be hot" on the side of a coffee cup? What the picture does show, are the PVC unions on the outside and it does not come this way. The backwash valve would have these parts and screws onto the male parts that are included on the filter.

Great question! We believe the valve is fully accessible and there are replacement parts. The valve is ordered with the trim (handle and plate) not embedded into the iBox. It's a pretty brilliant design. Grohe is now offering a similar set up.We had a question about accessing the stops and a live person answered the 800-number and walked us through the process. They also guided us to the latest installation manual as we had received an old one from the Amazon seller. It all worked out great!

Not sure because I returned this model. If you need something for a normal size house, you need a model with at least 4.5gpm to 6gpm because a regular shower flows at 2.5gpm. I ended up getting the aviditi model instead. Served my house perfectly for over a year and half. To finally answer your question, YES you need someone with local certification to install. You can ignore the plumbing part because that's very easy but for insurance and .legal reasons, get a certified electrician. Mine had to run two thick 50amp cables from the two 50 amp breakers to the unit.

Whether it is complicated depends on whether you are good with doing plumbing. However, a factor you might think about is whether the plumbing fittings in China are compatible with this system. The main thing is to connect the Tee fitting provided with this system into your under-sink cold water line. My plumber had to use a different fitting. You may also need to drill a hole in the sink top for the water faucet to go through, and you need to find a place under the sink to attach the filter.Everything is provided in the kit. Once installed, you will need to replace the filter every year. This filter provides a very good flow of clean drinking water.

The multiport valve came ready to be installed. I just use the universal joint to connect to filter. This valve was made in Canada.

No supply lines included. It wouldn't really make sense for them to include them, as many installations are going to be replacements with supply lines in place, and people would be throwing away extras. Just too wasteful. And there are too many kinds of supply lines in different ages of plumbing for it to be possible to include the right ones. Of course I can't know for sure, but I think the people that answered yes to this question were likely doing replacement installations and "didn't need additional materials", because they already had supply lines in place.

Not sure why or how you would install more than one valve for this system. Read the instruction manual to understand function of the valve.

The body valve is included,but does not have stops on the hot and cold water. I had a problem with my shower spout and had to call the warranty. The warranty is life time which is good. Price Pister send me a replacement at no cost to me. The replacement was really nice heavy metal, and the set I purchase from amazon is very light almost plastic. Very disappointed with the product.

I thought it was a model number too, until I saw the conflicting answers. 'ASSE-1019-A' is an industry standard for freeze-proof anti-siphon sillcocks: www.jrsmith.com/uploads/docs/engcom7.11.pdf It's not a model number. Now I need to go back and look for a model number....

Depends on your pipe size. You should always select a unit that matches your inlet water supply pipe diameter to maximize flow and minimize pressure drop. In most cases this is either 3/4 or 1 inch. The supply pipe diameter is the one that comes into your home. In the case of municipal water supply, this is the diameter of the pipe immediately after the water meter. If you are on a well, the pipe is the one immediately after your pressure tank (also called an expansion or bladder tank). Do not consider the larger 1" size if your pipe is 3/4" in diameter - only costs more and provides you with no real benefit, however, if you have 1" or 1 1/4" pipe - get a 1" or 1 1/4 inch system. If you have 3/4" piping, consider our model WS4M using the Fleck 5600SXT, if 1" go with the WS6M using the Fleck 2510SXT. By the way, on Amazon, there are other companies trying to represent their product as ours - it is a very different product, different resin, tanks, etc. If you are interested in the CAI product, be sure it both is "Manufactured by" and "ships from" CAI Technologies.

Good quetion! The only way I can think to do that takes away some of the advantage of an automated system. That would be to program days and watering times for the valves as desired, leave the system off and then turn on when needed and use the "water all zones one time (or only one zone) button", turning system off again when done. I know that's not an ideal scenario, but I think it's all the system will allow since it's based on weekly rather than monthly programing intervals.

Yes the valves should be included, just make sue that the description dose not say 'cover only'.

No. My unit came with the isolation valves and PRV. The unit works great and is fantastic, but I have to caution that shipping is very poor and the box was practically falling apart when we received it. Valves and other hardware was practically falling out.

No, it is only for filtering for taste. Does not get other contaminants like bacteria, lead, etc. In the fine print, you see it is NSF 42 for water treatment standard. This is the minimum. Filters for making truly potable/bacteria-free water are NSF 53 (53 means they filter bacteria like naegleria, cryptosporidium, and giardia).
