Customers say's :
Great device, weak instructions, needs some modifications..
I love the idea of this water heater!
Installation should be easy..
Uses standard 3/4 inch threaded lines for in, out, and overflow.

However.. the GL8Ti has 2 overflow ports..
You plug one (depending on top or side mounting) and use the other one for overflow..
This is a very nice feature, and makes mounting quite flexible.

The fittings going into the heater are brass and should seal OK..
However they are NOT tapered (as I think they should be).

Both of these ports leaked with what I would consider good/normal installation (teflon tape).
Both of these ports leaked with "upgraded" installation (teflon tape, plus joint compound).
Both of these ports held with a "super upgraded installation" (Teflon tape, plus joint compound, plus a thick seal gasket). (Gaskets are not a good idea in a water heating device.. They tend to rot out)

Took me a day and a half to diagnose and "address" the leaks..
I hope the...

Totally meets expectations...
I have used an earlier model of this product. The new one is even better..."new and improved". It holds/makes enough hot water for 5th wheel. We can shower without running out as well as use the two sinks...just not too long or all at once for very long. Takes only a small space and uses very little electricity.


Ok for a sink but for a shower not so much
Well I installed this product under my shower 12 inches from my tub spout. If you like a camping shower your in good stead but if your looking to luxuriate and enjoy consistent warmth and comfort better to go to the gym. Shower without any cold water mix and with the thermostat turned to max will give you 3 to 4 minutes of comfortable showering before the temp starts to drop. My guess is you may do better with a low flow shower head or a different wife. Put me in the one sad category and look for it soon to be available on some selling site. We tried and we say Nancy Reagan was right just say NO!
