The ones (not a "hybrid")I have experienced require a 60 amp breaker and worked fine.
This one only requires 22 amps?....I would be curious as to the efficiency.
The price also seems rather steep.
I would like to hear how it works out if you get one.
enjoy.

But the reviews are coming mostly from people who live in climates with cold winters. The one from the Caribbean (Aruba) was positive.

I don't understand the "efficiency" of burning fuel to keep 50 gallons of water hot at all times "just in case".
