Product Description

The Eccotemp FVI12 Indoor Liquid Propane Tankless Water Heater is one of the most advanced indoor models of the Eccotemp tankless line. Rated at 4.0 GPM with a temperature rise of 38 degrees and 80,000 BTU per hour, the Eccotemp FVI12-LP can meet your hot-water needs! Eccotemp’s advanced 0.7 GPM low flow ignition technology allows users to enjoy endless hot water without experiencing cold spots. Manual temperature controls allow the temperature to be set and regulated at the front control panel, and not your sink or shower. We recommend the Eccotemp FVI12-LP for smaller single-family homes, apartments, condos, or cabins. Using 1-2 hot water applications simultaneously is a breeze with the Eccotemp FVI12-LP. With our upgraded PCB (Product Control Board) performance and an all-new gas modulating valve, consumers can experience best-in-class temperature performance with a price anyone can afford. The compact, wall-mounted Eccotemp FVI12-LP has a 110/120-volt UL listed power cord that powers the internal Exhaust Fan, Digital Display and PCB. The Eccotemp FVI12 has been tested for use at elevations up to 2000 feet. Installation and use of the Eccotemp FVI12 above 2000 feet may affect overall product efficiency and performance. Installation and use of the Eccotemp FVI12 above 5000 feet is not recommended. IMPORTANT NOTE: Cannot be used for HYDRONIC SYSTEMS, RECIRCULATING, or FLOOR HEATING.

Customers have mixed opinions about the temperature of the water heater. Some mention that it can heat water well, while others say that it provides plenty of hot water from a very cold well.

"...water begins to flow warm in just a few seconds and is fully hot in less than 15 seconds...." Read more

"...The water would turn hot, but when my pump went to prime, it would cut out and the pressure went down and the water would turn cold...." Read more

43 customers mention26 positive17 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the water heater. Some mention it's very good value for the money, reasonable, and saves a heap of money. However, others say that it shuts off immediately, is a waste of money and time, and is useless.

13 customers mention8 positive5 negative

Customers are mixed about the portability of the water heater. Some mention that it's great for tiny houses, and does not take up too much space. However, others say that it is undersized for their home, the vent pipe is not a common size, and the inlet filter is tiny.

"...It's relatively small compared to that old water heater, looks good and seems to do the job...." Read more

30 customers mention8 positive22 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the temperature adjustment of the water heater. They mention that it's very hard to regulate, the adjustments are touchy, and the flame is extremely sensitive. They say the settings are only good for one application and the knobs are not intuitive. Customers also say that the unit does not automatically adjust the flame intensity based on flow rate. They also complain that the instructions don't explain how to use the two knobs.

"...but then that setting is only good for one application, since sinks and showers and washers all run at different flow rates and this thing is..." Read more

"...exactly but I think it's 125*F. This unit also does not automatically adjust the flame intensity based on flow rate...." Read more

"...This unit has a manual temperature adjustment, so if the pressure is constantly changing, so is the temperature, and over the 15 psi swings I was..." Read more

"...I give it four stars instead of five due to the short-comings of the manual and the somewhat awkward controls...." Read more

22 customers mention0 positive22 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the shut off of the water heater. They mention that it totally shuts down, giving cold water. Some customers also report that the unit turns off during the shower. They say that it will only fire and stay lit when the gas knob is set at 1%. Some complain that the water fails to ignite often.

"...water while the heater is trying to get enough water to function, it shuts off. Maybe you'll have enough water supply for the demand...." Read more

"The product admits right in its manual that it will shut off anytime you turn the cold tap on...." Read more

"...It did not shut off until I turned off the gas valve. This could have been an extremely dangerous situation...." Read more

"...hotter, etc, etc, till the water maxes out at 175 degrees and totally shuts down, giving you completely cold water!!..." Read more

13 customers mention0 positive13 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the water heater. They mention that it sprung a pinhole water leak in the heat exchanger tubing, and the water temperature regulator developed a leak after 2 years. They also say that the unit started spewing water out of it everywhere and that the floor was flooded again.

"...The leak was right on the bend in the tubing, a natural weak spot, and appears to just be where the water pressure wore away at it until it broke...." Read more

"...This time upon hooking up the unit I found it is leaking from a part inside. Trying to deal with Eccotemp has been a nightmare...." Read more

"...thing, and it worked great for a few months, except for a little leak out the bottom, which started almost immediately after installation...." Read more

"...we had one issue out of the box. The brass drain valve on the bottom was leaking. A .79 cent O-ring replacement fixed that...." Read more

So far so good
4 Stars
So far so good
Reading the past reviews I was skeptical of this hot water heater. But after three months of living in my fifth wheel this winter I’ve had no problems with it. The temperature controls are finicky but once you get it dialed in it works fine. I have well water so I added the extra filters to cut down on the scale.
Thank you for your feedback

I had a plumber install it in British Columbia where we have cold winters and he set it up in an outdoor washroom which had plumbing but not much power. I’m impressed! The water was hot and will last as long as the propane does and it doesn’t use hardly any power
