This tankless hot water heater includes a mixing tank to keep nice, even temps for your showers. It heats 2.9 gallons per minute with high Btus, so it's great in cold weather. Includes a door for replacing a 10- or 16-gallon tank water heater.
Features:
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.
If you're replacing an old tank or tankless water heater, you'll want to pick a water heater with a door that will at least be as large as the current access door on your RV. Be sure to search for the water heater that includes the correct size you need.

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 together at this Fogatti InstaShower 8 Pro RV tankless water heater with mixing tank and this metal white hinge door. Now, if you're wondering what the differences are between the InstaShower 7, 8 Plus and the 8 Pro that we're looking at currently, take a look at this product page on the lower portion of this page, and we have provided for you some pretty good summaries on each of those water heaters to help you determine which water heater is going to be best for your particular application. But this 8 Pro water heater has 55,000 BTU heater that's going to heat 2.9 gallons per minute, which is greater than the average water flow of an RV shower. The mixing tank that you see here on the back, that's going to combine both hot and cold water to help eliminate temperature fluctuations. That's gonna reduce the risk of hot water or scalding.
And the addition of this tank is going to add just a little more depth needed for install. But as you can see, not by a whole lot. So if you've often complained that your water changes temperature while you're taking a shower or doing the dishes, this 8 Pro is gonna be a great option for you to consider. Now, this large white metal hinge door with this flat lock is going to give you access to the inside of the heater for cleaning or maintenance. And this door is sized for replacing a 10 or 16-gallon tank water heater with an 18-inch tall by 18-inch wide access door.
Now, I do wanna point out that other access or other sizes and colors of those access doors are available for this 8 Pro water heater. So on your screen, I'm putting up a little chart there, showing you the other options that you have. The bolded number there is the one that we're looking at with the largest white metal door, but we also provide that same size, the 18 by 18 in black. And then as you can see, we have a medium sized one. I'm calling it 15 by 18, and then the smallest one is the 15 by 15.
So whichever color and whichever size door is gonna work for you, you can just take that etrailer part number, pop it in the search field of our website, and that will take you to the one that will work best for you. So the efficient propane heater is going to or burner rather, is going to heat the water only when you use your faucets or shower. The higher BTUs make this a great choice in cold weather for using a lot of hot water at once. The pilot ignition type is automatic and I just have this door kind of loosely held in place with some screws there, just to kind of give you an idea of what this is going to look like. I don't have this door fully installed onto the heater, but again, just wanted to kind of give you an idea of what this is going to look like.
This does include a wall controller that has a digital display. It's going to let you adjust temperature and show diagnostic errors. The temperature setting's gonna be from 95 degrees to 123 degrees Fahrenheit. The water pressure is gonna be 14.5 to 116 PSI. The preferred pressure though, is gonna be from 40 to 45 PSI. The internal safety components are gonna protect you, your family, and your RV. It automatically cuts off gas if the flame goes out to prevent leaks in your RV. So our door, again, is about 18 inches tall, 18 inches wide, and the water heater itself about 13 inches tall, 13 inches wide, rather, and tall, so 13 by 13. And then the depth, not including the door, just the heater itself from front to the back of our mixing tank, it's about 15 13/16 inches deep. If you include the door, again, to our mixing tank, about 16 3/8 inches deep. This is gonna be a pretty simple installation using the included hardware. This is gonna use your existing lines and cutout. I do wanna point out that a temperature and pressure relief valve are required for installation that's not included with this kit. And additional cutout depth is gonna be needed to make your connections. This also includes an instruction manual to guide you through the operation and installation. But 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.
