16 Comments on Compact Hot Water Heaters- They Work Well When They Work
Debbie, thanks for the great post and thanks for making it RAIN!!!
Leesa, thanks for the great post and thanks for making it RAIN!!!
oh wait wrong post...
I am comment stalking Jeremy.
feel free to delete me...
I have never heard of compact water heaters... I have heard of tankless water heaters that give hot water on demand....
I am sure you will get this situation taken care of, sis... did you call your hubby to see if you have done all the steps to getting this thing fixed before you take it out?
Thanks Jeremy, making lemonade out of lemons.....
Maureen, I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that!lol!
Hey Alex, I did call the hubs and he was proud of me apparently I did all I could. I'll use another sink til he gets home and have him call the manufacturer. Our regular hot water heater died and they replaced it, it had a 10 year warranty so we may get lucky with this one. Thanks for your input!
Hi Debbie - We have one installed in one of our tenant's places, so i am familiar with it. Seems to break every 2 years so you got one with a much longer life! I am glad it was remedied for you!
Howdy and Morning Debbie
Let me start out with, saying your mighty fine blog post has been featured in the A Exceptional First Time Homebuyers across America Group. I feel your blog post on the subject of this of water heater should not get lost, and other folks should be able to read it.
You sure did do a mighty fine job of handing the problem with that little ole compact water heater, my friend. Those compact water heater sure come in handy for folks.
great post about a very useful device for saving water. I don't know if they save any energy, but running the hot water for half a minute waiting for it to get hot can't be economical of either water or energy. I did see a product recently that diverted not-yet-hot water back into the system until the water was finally hot enough to use. I haven't seen one of those in action, yet, so I don't know if they actually work well.
Just FYI, whenever I leave town, something breaks for my wife. It must be a natural law.
We replaced the water heater in our rv with one of these and love it!
I had EXACTLY the same problem with this same water heater last week. For some strange reason, whenI walked over to the kitchen sink, I had a big puddle of water on the floor. I heard a a hissing sound, so I opened the door and there was a thin stream of water spewing out of the top of the heater and dripping out of the control panel on the from. I turned it off, unplugged it and then yesterday I took it to a plumber's office to see if it could be fixed... NOPE ! The water heater is only 4 years old, now I have to purchase a new one and have a plumber come out to run the new lines because the newer Tiny Titan water heaters have a vertical inlet versus the old horizontal inlet... Big Pain & EXPENSE !!!
Every water heater eventually leaks. Maybe it is because of the rusty tank, or connections, condensation and many other reasons.
If you have any problems with the water heater, from small Titan to large AO Smith, Rheem storage tank, or tankless, check out this website http://www.hot-water-heaters-reviews.com/troubleshooting-water-heaters.html
I love the little hot water heater. I think we'll install one in an outdoor sink we're planning to put up at our lake house. Haven't had any problems with the new one. Thanks for all of your input.

Good post
Great post i really thinking of giving baclink on my site for your page
I have 3 houses, I replaced the old tank water heater on all since Titan was compact and efficient. I was happy for a few months until one by one they all gave me problems. They stopped heating water even when the red light was on. I pressed the hidden reset button, and that worked until it didn't any more. A little over one year later I had to replce them all 1 by 1. I got the same product because it was easier than getting a plumer to change back to tanks and inconvinience the tenants. Tonight I got to take a cold shower once again. My advice to all, the product does not last. I do not recommend it to anyone. You may get 1-2 years out of it before it dies completely. Titan does not have the technology necessary to build a quality lasting product. When it works, it works well, the problem is it does not last. I've gone through 6 titans all with the same issue. Don't buy it.
