1 Month Follow-up on the Excel Instant Hot Water Heater w/Magnetic Switch
Original Installation Video: ruclips.net/video/DThlGzxRGPc/видео.html
Review:
I have been using an instant hot water heater in my RV for about 10 years now. In-Fact I have been using and Excel brand back from when they just hit the American market. I would not ever go back to just a standard RV water heater ever again. Let's face it, 6-10 gallons is just not quite enough for a good shower.
Excel has always been ahead of the pack in terms of innovation. The original water heater I had had a built in water turbine to generate it's own electricity. See my review of the old unit here:

    Drilling out the setscrew is a rookie move. Over drill and you will be calling a plumber. Simply use a cut off wheel on a dremel to cut a slot in the set screw. Then use a screwdriver to back it out. It works because I've done it.

    1:32 #1 cause of water back siphoning are fire truck pumps pulling water from a plug. Contaminating the public water supply with yard chemicals like roundup and fertilizers is the concern, not sewage. It also allows the firetruck to draw more water to fight a fire because the anti-siphon will close the pumps are not sucking air from everybody’s yards. You might feel different about it if it’s your house on fire.

    In my OSHA30 class there was a case we discussed about a dude that died from arsenic poisoning. He had a bottle of pesticide hooked up to his hose spraying his yard. Since it was hot out, eventually he went inside and had a cold glass of water from the tap...he didn't know there was a fire 2 blocks away, and the use of the hydrants caused backflow conditions. The pesticide got sucked into his potable system, and it killed him. I'm sure it doesn't happen very often. It can happen though. I'm glad backflow prevention is taken more seriously nowadays

    My method, grab a hack saw and make a cut down eacb side of the back flow preventer until you hit the thread cuts, then take a flat blade screwdriver and open the cut, the brass will give, at this point the valve will comer off easily. Take you time and pay attention to what you are doing and you won’t damage the threads. At this point I’ll dress the threads with a thread die made for hose bibs.

    Ok Hopefully, even though this was done 8 yrs ago, you still see comments. I have a similar issue with my kitchen grey water tank right at the outlet. It goes pretty much directly into the stab valve and that area is where the leak is. Problem here is the dealer/shop that sold us the unit "fixed" the issue about 5 or 6 years ago and now it is leaking again. I've tried to remover their materials that were not adhering to the tank. But, the closer I get to the outlet, the thicker their patching goo gets. I'm now concerned that I can't get their mess off to have a clean start at sealing the original crack. Any suggestions?
