Rheem RHG PRO40-40F Pro Series Natural Gas Water Heater, 40 Gallon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I went out of my way to get this water heater due to the local supplier would not sell me one unless he installed it.It arrived in perfect condition or so I thought . I installed it with no problems at all. I turned on the water and it shot out the top of the Anode cap. Due to the suspended weight of the anode the forces caused the anode cap to crack during shipping. It should not have been installed before shiiping!! I e-mailed Rhhem twice and received NO reply. I called warranty service and got a very rude southern women who told me the anode is not covered under any warranty and i would have to buy it .Can you believe that?I refused so i ordered one from "Fiery Chill" on line for $21 shipped to the house. Rheem's cost for this part is about $5-6 and they refused to send me oneUnbelievable!! The tank is a good product heats up in a flash,but Rheem is a terrible company as far as I am concerned . What if you have a real problem? The only difference between the 6yr tank and the 8yr tank is the anode Diameter . Buy the cheaper tank and buy the .900" anode you will save some money!!!Amazon is great they refunded the cost of the anode even though they didn't have to . Great company!!!!

AO Smith Hot Water Heater Exhaust Draft Inducer Blower # 183381-000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off:The seller is awesome!Fast shipping!The following is not about the seller (will buy from again) but the product itself.

At first I was surprised to find this item on Amazon, it's a blower motor for a hot water heater.The pictures looked like the item I needed and the part numbers matched up so I purchased it.I was disappointed that I couldn't get higher resolution pictures, especially around the connectors.

Upon receiving the unit I noticed that the connectors from the controller box to the hot water heater were of different types.The older units used a Molex 4 pin connection, this one was a six pin connection.Looking at the schematics proved that the additional two pins were not used so this unit is compatible but manual rewiring is necessary. This was not a big deal since my problem was with the fan unit itself and not the attached controller (you get both, the fan unit is attached to the controller and the fan can be attached to the old controller unit.)

To fix this I was able to take the new fan unit and attach it to the old controller that attached to the hot water heater and all was well.Simply detach the "fan" portion of the new unit and attach it to the controller box of the old unit and it will work fine (unless the controller unit is your problem, which is unlikely.)

The biggest problem with this units design is the use of plastic in the fan blades.The plastic can not withstand the heat coming from the gas burners from the water heater.This is my third replacement, each had plastic fan blades that fail and cause imbalance that generates loud noise until the entire fan itself blows apart.This is a major design flaw.The controller unit in all replacements was fine, it was simply the fan unit itself.

My former neighbor was able to find a replacement unit that used metal blades on the fan for his unit, but his house was foreclosed and he moved on and I haven't been able to find him to seek out where he got his all metal fan unit from.

The negative about the plastic fan is not a slam against this seller, I will buy from this seller again, but the negativity is against the manufacture for using plastic fan blades in the design that can not withstand such high temperatures that will fail in a range of between one to three years.

My next replacement will be the all metal design, hopefully this merchant will be stocking it.

Rheem 22V40SF Natural Gas Short Water Heater, 40 Gallon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Delivery came on time .I have small comment on packing .The box was almost open .Delivery guys did not let me to open in front.Luckily there was no big damage except minor dent on bottom.Amazon need to work little extra effort on packing especially to protect the gas control knob I did not see any protection and it could be broken with small force and I clearly saw minor scratch on .

Installation part is easy .I had old 15 years water heater so I went to Lowe's and bought water heater complete installation kit with flexible pipe .It worked great start right away.No noise , need any match and lighter for ignition .worked great .I like Rheem
