How cold is too cold for electric AH?

Perhaps the higher burn rate is for the 600D.

Aqua-Hot's website reflects a max fuel usage rate for both the 450D and 400D as .41 GPH. Thanks,

Sorry for replying to my own post - I meant to add the info on their site is likely where the higher use-rate numbers came from - not saying they're correct (I've never tested...). Thanks,

That is also the figure that I used in my calculations above.

Where the .43 gallons per hour comes from I am not sure. I looked at my manual and did not see the burn rate information in it. Just what I am told by their techs....

Gary, its stated in the service manual but perhaps not in the owners manual. See http://www.aquahot.com/Library.aspx

Look on page 8 for the 400 or 450D...

In my dealing with Aqua Hot, many answers to the same question were given. No surprise that different printings are going to have different answers.
