New construction with a Rheem on demand water heater set to 120. Our master bath is the furthest from the tank. At 120, the master bath temp is marginal, at least with these winter months. Tried setting the temp higher than 120, didn’t budge. Just say a YouTube video how to bump it higher. Going to set 125 next to see how that goes. For the winter months anyhow. Don’t forget to do an annual flush on the heater. Perhaps 2-3 times a year, for those that have not installed a water filter/softner. The how to, also on YouTube. Also a good idea to keep a spare ignition for the heater on hand. As well as an A/C capacitor. Both these items are common fail items. Both are cheap enough to keep a spare, as they usually fail at the worst time. Both are easy enough to swap out via YouTube videos. You can thank me later.
