Temperature/flow chart for this heater
Neither the description on this page nor the manual that came with my unit make it clear how much hot water at what temperature this heater puts out. The following measurements will help anyone considering purchasing this unit get an idea of what to expect: (inlet water was 58-degrees F.)

81-degrees at 5.7 gallons per minute (barely warm)
108-degrees at 2.7 gallons per minute (mildly warm)
114-degrees at 2.5 gallons per minute (comfortably warm for washing dishes)
117-degrees at 2.3 gallons per minute (hot, but still comfortable to hold your hands in)
120-degrees at 2.2 gallons per minute (hot enough to be uncomfortable to hold your hand in but not nearly hot enough to burn)

Assume that if your inlet water is 10 degrees cooler then the output will be 10 degrees cooler as well. What this means is that in winter with water close to freezing you'll need to run this heater dead slow to get warm water. Regular showerheads use 5 gallons per minute...

Fabulous (affordable) On-Demand Water Heater
I have been using my L10 for about 2 months now and am very happy with both it and the Eccotemp customer service. I bought the heater to supply water for a shower and sink in a new bathroom. I didn't have capacity or space for a standard electric or gas heater -- or the money for a bigger name brand on-demand water heater. I was delighted when I found the Eccotemp L10 but nervous because I have low water pressure and live in a high wind area. (Both of these conditions were stated as possible problems for this water heater.)

This bathroom project was completely a DIY project. I am a 53 year old woman with no previous plumbing experience. I was able to install the unit myself just using the instructions provided by the company. My installation included attachment to a hard pipe instead of using the garden hose. Customer service went way above and beyond the call of duty in supporting my installation. I had a couple of problems with operation that they patiently helped me...

first impression,,,home run!
Background: 7/18/12
The 30 yr old LP water heater in my NH cottage developed a gas leak and I was forced to cap the line.
The gas company indicated to bring every thing up to code and replace
upwards of $2k(LP gas water heaters are the most pricey/plus I had venting issues)

I stumbled onto this product while frantically searching for options.this cottage is used by my family
and rented online
read mostly positive reviews, i ordered the L10 from Amazon on 7/19 and opted for the overnight
delivery. it arrived the next day 7/20,as promised, and in good condition.

On 7/21 I installed and my initial impression is that this product is a home run!
It is temporarily running off of a new 20lb LP gas grill tank, until the gas company
comes to hard line from my 100gal LP bottle(next week).
My cottage is a small 700sq ft and has two sinks and a shower that require hot water
I have to admit i was skeptical how such a small...
