This tankless hot water heater includes a mixing tank to keep nice, even temps for your showers. It heats 2.9 gallons per minute with high Btus, so it's great in cold weather. Includes a door for replacing your old tank or tankless heater.
Features:
Specs:
The Fogatti 8 Pro stands out among other models by including a slim water-mixing tank to create consistent hot water temperatures when you use it. It prevents hot and cold fluctuations by blending hot and cold water together. The 21.5 square-inch tank acts as a buffer, allowing the heater to operate more efficiently and give more reliable performance. The addition of this tank adds a little more depth needed for install, but not by much. If you've often complained that your water changes temperature while you're showering or doing the dishes, the Pro is the Fogatti 8 that you'll want.
If you're replacing an old tank or tankless water heater, you'll want to pick a water heater with a door that will at least be as large as the current access door on your RV. Be sure to search for the water heater that includes the correct size you need.

Fogatti's tankless hot water heaters are popular for being efficient and quality options, but which model would be best for you? Let me give you a quick summary:
Fogatti 7: Lower Btus and lower flow rate compared to the 8s. This can be a good pick, though, because that means you're using less propane to heat water. If you aren't trying to heat very cold water, and you don't expect that anyone else is going to be using hot water while you're in the shower, then this will be a perfectly fine option, especially if you use low-flow fixtures for conserving water. I'd recommend it for solo campers or couples who almost never camp in cold months.
Fogatti 8 Plus: Higher Btus and flow rate while being the same size as the 7. You'll get slightly better performance, and it will be more effective at heating colder water. The extra flow rate won't necessarily allow you to run both a faucet and a shower at the same time without noticing a difference, since both fixtures can use 2.5 gallons per minute. But if you have a higher-flow shower head, this can keep up better. I'd recommend it if you're likely to camp when it gets chilly overnight and want a little extra performance.
Fogatti 8 Pro: This is the same as the 8 Plus, with the addition of a water mixing tank. This tank adds a few more inches to its depth, but that generally won't be much of an issue, especially if you're replacing a water heater with a tank. I'd recommend it if any variance in water temperature is going to really annoy you.

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Fogatti Insta Shower 8 Pro RV tankless water heater with mixing tank and this black metal hinge door. Now, if you are wondering about the differences between the Insta Shower 7, 8 +, and the 8 Pro, as we have here, take a closer look at this product page near the lower half of this page. We have provided for you some really good summaries of each of those water heaters, so you can look over those summaries and determine which water heater is going to work best for you. But for this 8 Pro, this is a 55,000 BTU heater, and this is going to heat 2.9 gallons of water per minute, which is gonna be greater than the average water flow of an RV shower.
This water heater features this mixing tank, which is going to combine hot and cold water to eliminate temperature fluctuations, reducing the risk of hot water scalding. The addition of this tank is going to add a little more depth for the install, as you can see there, but not by much. If you've often complained that your water changes temperature while you're taking a shower or doing the dishes, this 8 Pro water heater is going to be worthy of your consideration. Now, this does have a standard size 15 inch wide by 15 inch tall door, and this is a black metal hinge door with this flat lock that's going to give you easy access for cleaning or maintaining your water heater. Larger sizes are available when replacing a tank water heater with a bigger access door.
On your screen, I'm including a chart there showing you the other doors that you could get for this water heater. As you can see the bolded etrailer part number there on your screen, that's our black 15 by 15 door, but we also have a white one if that goes better with your particular setup. But we do have larger sizes as in each of the colors there, the 15 by 18 or the 18 by 18. So whichever door size is going to work best for you, you can take that etrailer part number that you see there on your screen, pop it in the search field of our website. That will take you to this water heater with the door size that you are looking for.
Now, the efficient propane burner is going to heat your water only when you use your faucets or shower. Higher BTUs makes this a great choice in cold weather or for using a lot of hot water at once. The pilot ignition type is automatic, and as you can see, that's gonna be very easy to close and to secure with that flat lock. This does include a wall controller. Now with the digital display that's going to let you adjust the temperature and show diagnostic error codes.
The temperature settings from 95 degrees to 123 degrees Fahrenheit. The water pressure for this water heater is 14 1/2 to 116 PSI. The preferred pressure is 40 to 45 PSI. The internal safety components are gonna protect you, your family, and your RV. For instance, this is gonna automatically cut off the gas that the flame goes out to prevent leaks in your RV. So I already told you the size of our door, 15 by 15, but just looking at some overall measurements, the measurement of the water heater itself is gonna be 13 inches by 13 inches wide and tall. And then the depth without our door from front to the end of our tank here is going to be about 15 and 13/16 inches deep. And then if you add the door, it's gonna be about 16 and 3/8 inches deep. This is going to be a pretty simple install using the included hardware and your existing lines and cutout. A temperature and pressure relief valve are required for installation, those are not included with this. And additional cutout depth is gonna be needed to make your connections. This also includes instruction manual to guide you through the proper operation and installation. But I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
