This is an excellent unit
Well, looks like my prior review on 4/22 has been deleted. I highly suspect that the complainers here, or one of them, "reported" me because I referred to their reviews and that probably violated policy, yada yada yada.

Ain't it the way of the world? Wonder how long this one will last.

In any event, if you are at all interested in the AquaStar, just listen to the positive reviewers, hook it up properly, and you'll be very happy with it I'm sure.

I suspect that the most common problems folks have are twofold:

1) They probably don't use the required 3/4" gas supply pipe and try to get by with the old 1/2" pipe that supplied their old tank-type hot water heater. Most 30-40 gallon tank types have a BTU input specification of 40,000 BTU's. The 1/2" supply line is adequate for that number of BTU's, but the AquaStar requires 117,000 BTU's and that's three (3) times as much. Thus you DO need to use the 3/4" supply line or you're just not...

After reading several reviews on the Aquastar, I was coinvinced to write a review after reading W. Youngs' review. From personal use of the water heater in my own home and installing seveal higher priced competitors models in customers homes, I am happy that I installed the Aquastar for myself. First of all, the Aquastar cost at least half of most other models. Second, it does not require any electrical supply saving one less thing to do during installation. Third, Mr. or Mrs. Young must not have done a correct installation because these water heaters definitly work. They may have accidently crossed a cold water line with the hot line allowing cold water to enter through the hot water side of the faucet. Or, maybe they didnt have the right size gas supply to the unit. Overall, this unit performes with the best. I recently moved and already have installed one in my guest house and plan to install one in the main house during upcoming construction. There's nothing like a hot shower...

Finicky
Our Aquastar 125B NG is older, manufactured prior to the Bosch purchase of the name, and though everything looks the same I do not know what design changes Bosch has made. It was already installed in our house when we bought it, so I have no information about the savings relative to a traditional tank water heater. However, I can offer some information about general use of this unit.

It is true that you can only fill demand for one hot water activity at a time. If the dishwasher kicks on while you are in the shower, both of them go cold. Your dishes will have spots and you will be shivering in the shower. Another reviewer suggested buying the unit with larger capacity (greater GPM) than what is recommended for your square footage, and perhaps this is a good idea.

I've found that in the winter time my Aquastar is extremely sensitive to variations in water flow unless I crank the gas knob all the way to the right on the front of the unit. This means it's basically...
