This replaces your old Fogatti tankless hot water heater and includes a mixing tank to keep water temps consistent. High Btus make this great for cold weather, heating 2.9 gallons per minute, which is higher than the flow rate for most RV fixtures.

Specs:
The Fogatti 8 Pro stands out among other models by including a slim water-mixing tank to create consistent hot water temperatures when you use it. It prevents hot and cold fluctuations by blending hot and cold water together. The 21.5 square-inch tank acts as a buffer, allowing the heater to operate more efficiently and give more reliable performance. The addition of this tank adds a little more depth needed for install, but not by much. If you've often complained that your water changes temperature while you're showering or doing the dishes, the Pro is the Fogatti 8 that you'll want.
Fogatti's tankless hot water heaters are popular for being efficient and quality options, but which model would be best for you? Let me give you a quick summary:
Fogatti 7: Lower Btus and lower flow rate compared to the 8s. This can be a good pick, though, because that means you're using less propane to heat water. If you aren't trying to heat very cold water, and you don't expect that anyone else is going to be using hot water while you're in the shower, then this will be a perfectly fine option, especially if you use low-flow fixtures for conserving water. I'd recommend it for solo campers or couples who almost never camp in cold months.
Fogatti 8 Plus: Higher Btus and flow rate while being the same size as the 7. You'll get slightly better performance, and it will be more effective at heating colder water. The extra flow rate won't necessarily allow you to run both a faucet and a shower at the same time without noticing a difference, since both fixtures can use 2.5 gallons per minute. But if you have a higher-flow shower head, this can keep up better. I'd recommend it if you're likely to camp when it gets chilly overnight and want a little extra performance.
Fogatti 8 Pro: This is the same as the 8 Plus, with the addition of a water mixing tank. This tank adds a few more inches to its depth, but that generally won't be much of an issue, especially if you're replacing a water heater with a tank. I'd recommend it if any variance in water temperature is going to really annoy you.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Fogatti Replacement InstaShower 8 Pro RV Tankless Water Heater with Mixing Tank. Now, if you're wondering about the differences between the InstaShower 7, the 8 Plus, or the 8 Pro, as we have here, take a look at this product page, at the lower portion of this product page. We have provided for you some really good summaries on each of those water heaters, so you can take a look and see what the key benefits are for each one, and decide which one's going to be best for you. But on this 8 Pro Water Heater, this is going to replace your old Fogatti Tankless Hot Water Heater, and this 55,000 BTU heater is going to heat 2.9 gallons per minute, which is greater than the average water flow of an RV shower. The mixing tank that we have here is going to combine hot and cold water to eliminate temperature fluctuations, reducing the risk of hot water scalding.
The addition of this tank only adds a little more depth needed for the install, but not by much. Now, if you've often complained that your water changes temperature while you're showering or doing dishes, this 8 Pro is gonna be what you want. The efficient propane burner is going to heat water only when you use your faucets or shower, and the higher BTUs are gonna make this a great choice in cold weather for using a lot of hot water at once. The pilot ignition type is automatic. This does include this wall controller, and this has a large digital display that's going to let you adjust the temperature and show diagnostic error codes.
The temperature setting is gonna be from 95 degrees to 123 degrees Fahrenheit. The water pressure is gonna be 14 1/2 to 116 PSI, but the preferred pressure is going to be 40 to 45 PSI. The internal safety components are gonna protect you, your family, and your RV. For instance, it's gonna automatically cut off gas if the flame goes out to prevent leaks in your RV. Just some overall measurements.
The width and the height is gonna be 13 inches. The overall depth from the front to the back here, and that's of course, including our mixing tank here, is gonna be about 15 13/16 inches deep. This is going to be a simple installation with the included hardware. It's gonna use your existing lines and cutout. I do wanna point out that a temperature and pressure relief valve are required for installation.
They're not included with this. And an additional cutout depth will be needed to make those connections. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.
