RV Tankless Water Heater 12 V On Demand Hot Water Heater 60,000 BTU

The Specs

Now that we’ve covered all the features that make this tankless instant hot water heater special let's go over some of the important technical specifications. This unit runs on 12v DC power and draws 3 amps, with variable heating for increased efficiency. This unit offers a maximum gas input of 60,000 BTU/HR and a minimum gas input of 12,000 BTU/HR using LP propane gas only. Before moving on, let’s clarify something important; what is a BTU and why is it important for your water heater? The BTU represents the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. A higher BTU means a higher and more efficient heat output. So, what does this mean for this tankless water heater? With 60,000 BTU’s, this tankless on-demand water heater is capable of heating your water faster and maintaining that heat more efficiently than our 42,000 BTU water heater (RP-1057W), which is great for your propane usage. To put it simply; this 60,000 BTU water heater gives you hot water faster, keeps it hot more easily, and uses your propane more efficiently. The amount of hot water you get, or Gallons per Minute (GPM), depends on the amount and temperature of water flowing into the water heater. Low water flowing in means less water flowing out, and cold water takes more time and energy to heat up. But, thanks to the Low Water Flow Startup feature and the powerful heating capabilities of this 60,000 tankless water heater, you can still enjoy steaming hot water in seconds, even if your water flow is low or the water coming in is icy cold. As far as your water goes, this RecPro Tankless Water Heater offers a temperature range of 95°F-122°F, with an applicable water pressure of 14.5 PSI-116 PSI.

When you have an on-demand water heater like this on your side, living in an RV becomes far more enjoyable. You can take advantage of nice, hot water whenever you need it, and without needing to wait for a water tank to heat up!

 Notes                                                         

Amount of water coming out of the heater depends on the amount of water put into the water heater

If the temperature of the water flowing into the water heater is less than 43°F or higher than 90°, the water heater will not heat the water. If the water in the pipes is colder than 43°, it is recommended to use tank and tubing heater pads to heat the water before it reaches the water heater.

At higher altitudes, this unit will have two problems: the thermal efficiency will decrease and the power will be lost, and the insufficient combustion will lead to worse combustion conditions, substandard combustion emissions, or abnormal ignition. Above 4,000 ft elevation, this unit will lose 4% of its BTU for every 1,000 ft above this height.

The temperature of your water will come out cooler than the set temperature on the water heater due to heat dissipating as it travels through your water lines.
