hello everyone this is Noah with save green here and here we're going to show
you basically the setup of the EcoSmart tankless water heater system and what
you see there is basically your water heater tank it's a tankless basically so
there is no tank it's your water heater and then you have your disconnect box
then you have your lines your CPVC lines and something that you will notice
that's a little different from something you might have seen in the past is that
right there and that right there is a 30 to 40 dollar piece of equipment and it
can save you from having to buy one of these guys again which can cost you just
on the equipment alone around three to four hundred dollars for this guy so
spend 30 to 40 on this and don't have to spend three to four hundred dollars on
the equipment alone not counting the installation fees so what I'm going to
do is I'm going to show you what it does and what you need to do regularly so
it's basically a filter a pre-filter that's filtering the water before it
comes into the tank now the life of these things is the water so if the
water inside of it has a lot of sediment calcium and anything that can diminish
the life of it or the heating elements if you will that means you're replacing
this sooner so again 30 to 40 dollars will also
extend the life of this guy so it's basically a filter where filters the
water before it comes in to the water heater and then of course it goes into
your house so this is the water going into your bathroom and kitchen and
washer and dryer and whatnot this is the water that's coming in from the city you
can see that it's shut off there and it's shut off here I also shut the power
off because you don't want this thing to have any power while you're working on
it but I'll show you what we're going to do here I'm going to take this off and
used this little clamp here you fix fix to put it in there turn it take it off
and change the filter and I'll show you that in just a few okay so what you see
here is we got the filter out and actually the filter compartment here's
the filter now I personally like to use the carbon filters because they last
longer meaning you don't have to replace them
as often and they do a better job at removing more stuff from inside the
water you can look on the inside there looks pretty clean but I went ahead and
bought these Whirlpool Premium carbon filters so you want to make sure that
anywhere when you buy the word premium is in there what does that mean to you
that means you can go six months now that you could take this with a grain of
salt because manufacturers will always tell
you you need to replace it this often but you know what it's all based on how
much water you use basically so for a condo where two people are occupying and
you don't have large families you can probably go with these guys one year or
even a little bit more than that these come in a pack of two and you can see
there that a little filter or reduces the chlorine and the sediment that's
what you want to make sure it does sediment is what kills those tankless
water heaters so get yourself a good carbon filter make sure it says carbon
or at the very least the work premium now what I'll do is I'll post a link
loops I'll post a link at the bottom and you'll be able to see a direct link down
there at the bottom on the description where you can order these and just have
them delivered to your door like that you're ensured that you get the exact
fit for your water filter now this is very important if you have one of these
tankless water heaters if you don't have one go ahead and spend the money if you
want if you're a DIY person do it yourself if not hire someone but you
want to go ahead and put one of these guys in one of these setups so you can
clean the water before it goes inside that water heater so I'm going to go
ahead and put it back in and show you how it's done so once I exchanged the
filter in there and make sure it's in there and it's nice and tight you still
want to keep your power off as you notice there my disconnect is off and
I'll show you why we're gonna go to the sink and what we're gonna do is we're
gonna whatever air is left in there we're gonna run hot water for maybe
about a minute minute or two make sure everything is running before those
heating elements kick on just to make sure that there's no
here inside the lines so we're gonna do that in just a minute here okay so you
can see the old filter here actually it's been a year that it was replaced so
I'm gonna run hot water here
and you can do this on all your sinks in the house make sure you don't get any
air in any of the lines so there you go you can hear that
so we're basically vacating the air out of the lines and doing a complete filter
change out properly
it looks like we've got all of it out
one thing you also want to do also is ensure that this is nice and tight which
we did already so we're going to keep this guy here leave it hang in there for
next time and then of course the last thing you do is you put your disconnect
back on okay so that old now feed the power into your tankless and you see
that bit come on okay I think we're all set yeah there we go so we're we're back
to Fahrenheit but you can see how easy these things are to set up you can set
the temperature you like and believe it or not 102 right here these things are
coming out super high and it depends on the application they do have them in
different sizes so they got them for for small condos they got them for large
homes depending on what size you get you might have to change your wiring which
we did in this case as well but in this situation from where it's located to the
breaker panel you can see it's just a couple feet away so we just took the
wires up in the attic there's your access panel and that was
an easy install but before we used to have a tank water heater in here got rid
of the tank put in the tankless got rid where the tank used to sit we now have
the air-conditioner which used to be up in the attic was also a service
nightmare as well he just shut off so it made it a little bit quieter but these
eco smart water heaters are really good they perform really well and you get
your water instantly and you never run out of hot water the first small
application that's really a no-brainer and then you can just adjust it here to
the temperature you wish to adjust it and if you need professional
installation you can hire someone but you can get these I'll post a link where
you can get them as well and of course with your filter that's a must and go
ahead and spend about 40 bucks for one of these guys and this will last a very
very long time thank you for watching this is Noah with save green here
