can i use this to clean my water tankless heater? ok, I cannot use this one. I ordered a submersible utility pump 1/4 HP.

I think what you need to consider is a pump's Head Rating. And, Head Pressure. You can get a much more powerful pump for not that much more money. I wouldn't suggest this for much other than say powering a media reactor.

I have a Bosch tankless water heater that sit's about 7 foot high on a wall. My water softner is 2 foot below and and mine required more flow than this pump provided when it was mount in the wall. The housing has to fill up completely before overflowing to the exit.

Though I have never used it for that, I would think it would not be good to flush out a tankless heater. The pump mechanism is quite weak. If there is even a small amount of resistance the flow rate decreases significantly. This pump is really designated for an aquarium.

i wouldn't use it. call" that fish place" and talk to one of their guys on the phone and tell him your problem maybe theycanhelp.

I don't know you may want to call or email the manufacturer to see if this is a possibility

Yes, a 1hp pump will work, but so would a 1/2 hp. The location of the pump/filter above the pool water level will effect the performance of the pump filter. Check the pricing of different hp pumps, buy the most cost effective.

Good question, I don't see why not, it's just a filter. The water where I live apparently has lime or calcium which made a cylinder in two previous tankless water heaters crack. If you have stuff like that in your water, I'd say try it. Part of the name says 'scale inhibition'. Have used these filters with my new heater for a good couple of years with no problems with the heater. Stick-on gauge shows when it's time to renew. Get a plumber to install the initial T-pipes (get the whole thing the first time, then just replacement filters), then changing is easy. Twice a year maintenance, worth it.

If you have a water line which is the "waste water" you can use this pump. I like it because it's not an electrical pump. Make sure you get the right model to fit your GPD rating on your water filter.

Yes. It needs to drain into your sump drain. It should be near your water heater.

while I can't say for certain I would assume you can use it with the hayward pump you listed. I am using it with a 1 1/2hp pump with no problems. call hayward to confirm it.

Hi Patricia, i wouldn't advise it as its a submersible pump. For one inch of water you may want a pump that has a flat extension piece or something to suck up water. Hope this helps. The pump was okay...it was a little sometimish. We ended up getting the red lion pump but again this is for like septic tanks and the like

I am not sure if it would work or not. It does not work on my heater. It trips after every 5 minutes of usage. I was very disappointed with it, but for now I will keep it to see if I can use it with other devices. I would check the wattage or amperage limits on it before I buy it. I did not do the research on it, and the information I received on it with device does not include it as best I can tell.

I don't know but I wouldn't even attempt. I am very handy and do a lot of work around the house myself, but the tankless water heater is way above my head. I had a professional plumber installed it, and he had a hard time. He had to call technical support a few times to finally get it to work. Good luck.

This switch is rated to switch 2400 watts of power at 120 Volts. If your water heater has an element that is less than 2400 watts, and runs on a 120 volt circuit, yes you can use this. It is not likely that your water heater meets these requirements. You can, however, use this switch to switch a relay that is rated to turn your water heater on and off. An inexpensive example of this is the Packard C230B. It will switch 220 volts up to 6600 watts and has a 120 volt coil. This is a mechanical contactor. You can also look for a solid state relay that will be quieter and last longer, but cost more. This switch is rated to switch 2400 watts of power at 120 Volts.

we have an electric tank less that is rated at 4.5 GPM. We have very hard water in this part of MA and also have a well. We have been in this house for 30 years and have had problems with pipes rotting away. When we installed the electric tank less we installed this filter also. We used the heater for a few months and than had the plumber perform the maintenance suggested by the tank less mfg. It was clean as a whistle. Our flow rate is not as high as yours but if you had one in line with each heater - i would think it would work fine. Our heater used 120A for 4.5 GPM - if yours is electric it most use a lot of power! For our use I am very satisfied with the filter and given our water quality situation and how clean the heater was - i would highly recommend this filter. KR in MA

The output of the pump is 3.0 gallons a minute. Your supply water should exceed that. I would not trust a gravity flow to supply the pump. Keep in mind that when your water level drops in your tank the water flows slower to your pump. Too little flow to your pressure washer equals a burnt up pump. My short answer is no. It cannot. It's a great pressure washer tho.

I don't know about that, but I can tell you that we've been through two compressors and several service visits and we now have a very expensive conventional electric water heater on our hands. The heat pump function no longer works and it began failing a long time ago. I would seriously warn you against spending money on this water heater. Be sure to check out the many reviews across the web on this piece of equipment. It's a true (very pricey) lemon.

I don't use this pump for my filter...it runs to my solar heater. If your are using this pump for filtration try 6 hours a day and see if the water stays clean Change or clean the filter every day

I found it to be less than satisfactory in regards to heating water for much of anything... I ended up using it as a Point of Use booster on a existing hotwater line after Plumbing a hotwater line to the point where. I had purchased this unit for originally. I hope that gives you enough info to come to a conclusion.

Not enough info to answer. The tank must be specific to the water heater and not to the R/V.

1.5 HP is the rating of the horsepower of your pump, not the electrical ratings i.e. 120/220 volts and 15/20 amps. This is rated for 15A. however the full ratings for this, state 1HP http://www.intermatic.com/en/Products/Pool_and_Spa/Specialty_Controls/Portable_Outdoor_Timers/P1100_Series/P1131.aspx which im guessing is refering to the pump it will be connected to. It doesnt make sense to rate electrical equipment like this with HP.
