Unless something changed yesterday, all RPODs have dual mode water heaters. An easy check is to read the WH model number on it's label. SW6DE is dual mode; SW6D is gas only. The dual mode heaters will also have a small black rocker switch on the lower left side inside the service panel and a 15Amp circuit breaker in the power panel. Maybe labeled, maybe not.
Unless something changed yesterday, most dealers don't know their product.

Everything I have read says otherwise. We haven't received the unit yet but I am trying to become familiar with how everything operates before we do. Does anyone know if they do or not. Is this an option? Thank you for any help you can offer. Also does anyone know where I can buy a R-Dome other than a dealer. They are so expensive from the dealer and I was hoping there was another way to find one. Maybe someone has one for sale. Thanks! |
