Any issues installing this in a basement having a gas water heater? Would be about 15-20 feet away.

There is no issue installing an electrical appliance such as the BW 4000 sump pump near a gas water heater

No unless you have an electrics water heater plugged Into the same wiring . Won't bother a gas water heater as most are sealed now but should also not bother older water heaters .

Absolutely zero issues with installation. It has a clean build. Sets up was nice and neat. Our basement is small. Water heater is a short distance away. This sump has been running like a champ for almost 3 years! Buy it and enjoy.

Mine is installed between a gas fired water heater and our gas fired boiler - no problems. Total distance between all 3 is less than 20 feet.

Didn't have any trouble at all and I live in a downstairs basement apartment - hope that helps :)

It's not a matter of square feet...........you place it near the source of your gas heater /hot water heater,as this is where the problem may occur......if the amount of gas leaking is enough the detector will go off

No--as a purchaser of this Rheem Gas Water Heater about a year ago, I can tell you that it utilizes a piezo-electric starter, which requires no work from you. Your only consideration is to hook up the gas line using proper silicone tape (especially for gas applications, so you won't later have any gas leakage) or pipe putty. Many supply houses and/or hardware outlets sell a reasonable meter (you can clip it in your shirt pocket like a pen) to measure any gas around connections) if you do the job yourself. I easily installed the Rheem by myself, mounting it a half foot above the basement floor (platforms are sold for this purpose) in case of a basement flood, which did in my previous water heater!

I have a camper installed it about 15' from electric 6 gal water heater and it works fine cold water side

Our Navien was installed inside, in the basement. We live in Minnesota with sub-zero temps, but have never had a problem. Don't hesitate to contact a local installer or heating & cooling system expert.

I have it installed in my partial above ground basement in NC. It needs a way to be installed so it can vent outside. One of my neighbors there has it installed in their crawl space.

Yes. Mine is in the basement. It can be installed anywhere that meets the clearance, fresh air, and venting requirements. Consult a licensed plumber or your local code official. It's possible to burn down your home or asphyxiate yourself if you do it wrong. It is, by the way, a great heater and a good buy.

can you install it in a pipe that is already split toward the hot water tank or does it need to be where the cold water enters the house

We have it in our bathroom in the basement and it heats it up really good. I would say you can feel it 3 to 5 feet away. I have had it for years and really like it for where we have it.

Not very good for this type of application. It is better for a room that is well insulated. 16 X 23 may be too much area in a basement for this type of heater.

We installed ours on a screen room with a roof, has worked well and it is about 60 feet from the door bell transformer.

Yes you can install it in your basement as long as you can tap into your main water line. You also have to be able to drill into a water drain pipe near by as the system flushes and drains during filtering which is part of all reverse osmosis systems. You will require additional 1/4" tubing also sold by Amazon.com. and possibly a different type of plumbing tap into your cold water pipe as what is included is to be connected under your sink. This is no big deal as you can purchase from Amazon.com or your local hardware store a water line tap(known as a saddle valve) and very easy to install for the novice home handy person. for 1/4" tubing just like you would use for connecting the cold water line to an ice maker for under $10. The faucet has to be installed flat like a regular faucet near the sink so it can drain into your sink and cannot be installed directly on a wall but on the sink or sink countertop itself. THIS IS A GREAT SYSTEM. I love it. I hope this helps and have a great day.

I installed it at the furthest point from the water heater. Hot water will only go as far as where it is installed and that way all the outlets are somewhat covered with just one unit. My wife is always telling me " Go hit the button ".

I didn't measure it, but the spec on the beckett furnace requires at least that and it is running just fine.. It's sucking up from a tank way down in the basement (2-line system with return). I'd guess the drop is a good 14 feet - exceeding the spec, but it pumped like crazy. Make sure you put a hose on that priming nipple - it gushed immediately (I thought I'd have some time since the lines were dry).

You can google the manual online. It says not to install it closer than eight inches to any serface or less than six feet from the floor and at least three feet from combustable items.

Mine does a decent job heating a finished basement with 19 by 24 feet. I am quite happy with it. My insulation is probably not the best though either.
