Re: ShowerMate M-550 – Marine Tankless Water Heater

I clicked on this as I have a $120 ebay rv unit. About 1/8 the size of this but vents out an open hatch above not a flue.

Anyway, thought maybe I could up to a comparable marine unit or just see what it looked like. Pretty shocked

Re: ShowerMate M-550 – Marine Tankless Water Heater

I think this proposal is interesting. I have been looking for such a water heater for a long time. What are some tips for maintaining a tankless water heater? How often should it be cleaned? I found an article about flushing of the water heater. How do you think this is the right advice?
