The media joined in the fun as well. Alex Cheimets of ApplianceAdvisor.com in Arlington, Massachusetts, achieved a “best-in-class” time of 8.35 seconds. Like Casillas, Cheimets received a new Rheem tankless water heater and the cost of installation, up to $1,000.

EZ-Link Technology from Rheem Water Heating enables installers to meet the hot-water demands of homes with up to six bathrooms or expand existing Rheem tankless systems to handle the needs of growing families.

• A customer with a four-bathroom home can install two RTG-53 series water heaters with an EZ-Link cable to meet his or her hot water demands.
• When building a new bath, kitchen or home addition, a Rheem tankless user would not need to replace the existing unit. He simply would connect a second Rheem tankless water heater to absorb the additional hot-water demand – all without taking up an excessive amount of space.
