ShowerMate M-550

Works great, too hot for shower.

This water heater has worked great for us for years. Used for years in Canada, and has worked for the last 4 years in Mexico. (only repair was to replace the igniter circuit). The only issue is that the water flow needed to keep it running is too low for the shower, so showers are too hot.

The only cure I have found is to run another tap while taking a shower to increase the flow, however that eats up our limited amount of fresh water.

New ones may have a lower flow cut-in, but the one we have is too high.

Water heater has performed as well as would be expected by the specs. Only when it was below freezing in Canada, water would be well warm, not really hot. . Very happy with its ability to heat water on demand.

Thank you for your review. Feel free to reach out to Ray, our service Manager and he will be happy to discuss any of your concerns. His phone number is 800-934-9690 Ext. 110.

Sturdy

We have had this unit on a boat for years, we have been ocean sailing with it, so it has been jammed around pretty good and continues to work fine.

Thanks for giving us a review!! Remember we are always here for you if you ever if you ever need service or have any questions.

  Hot Water in Any Season

The PrecisionTemp M550-EC tankless, marine water heater utilizes our patented VariFlame Control technology to deliver an endless flow of hot water for the ultimate marine shower.

The heater operates only when the hot water outlet is turned on. The VariFlame control system then keeps the water temperature constant regardless of the flow rate or incoming water temperature.

  The Proof is in the POWER

With 55,000 BTUs—the highest hot water output in the industry—and built-in freeze protection, the M550-ECdelivers on-demand, continuous hot water—all without using engine or shore power.

  Quiet and Efficient

For the same amount of propane, the M550-EC produces more hot water than a traditional water heater.

Many people find that they use up to 50% less propane, with lower operating costs and fewer fill-ups. It’s lightweight, compact, efficient and installs almost anywhere.
