This is for Jack Stecker. maybe you shouldn't be crushing all those pills buddy, I think it's negatively impacting your brain. This water heater is not intended to replace a tank water heater, it is not for your whole house.
If it is tripping your breaker, it is because you did not wire it correctly, or are using the wrong size breaker. The wire sizes that Bosch says to use are NOT intended as a guideline, they are the size that the unit needs. You are probably very lucky you didn't burn down your house. Next time follow the instructions, ALL of the instructions, and take the pills AFTER you are done with the wiring. I have two Bosch tankless water heaters, and they are awesome, but they need to be installed correctly. And yes, they do draw more electricity when they are on than a conventional tank water heater, it's just that they are only on when you need hot water. that draw is why you need to follow the directives about wire size. If it says 8ga wire, you CANNOT use 10ga.
Also, the size requirement for your house service needs to adhered to as well, if is says minimum 200 amp service, you cannot use it with a 150 amp service, you could burn your house down.
My advice, buy the 220v unit and have an electrician install it for you.

It draws more current than the old tank water heater and trips the breaker. There is an option to turn down the power/heat. The water never gets above 90 degrees. Useless Usless Useless!!!!!!!!!!!
