User Reviews

Users praise the hardware quality of the Rheem EcoNet system but repeatedly report a buggy, unstable app: frequent crashes, loss of connection to the heater, unreliable scheduling, and changes to energy-use data. UX and update quality are also cited as dragging down the experience. Some reviewers note that updates can fix issues, but the core app reliability remains a major concern while the hardware itself is viewed positively.
Pros
  • Solid hardware unit quality (water heater is praised as great).
  • App allows remote control of settings from anywhere via WiFi (remotely adjustable when functional).
  • Some updates have restored functionality and fixed issues, improving app reliability when issues occur.
Cons
  • Frequent app crashes or immediate launch failures; the app often won’t load or keeps crashing.
  • Persistent connectivity problems between the app and the water heater; remote connection drops or cannot connect at all.
  • Unreliable or limited scheduling features (away mode not reliably saved, schedules not transmitted, and some controls hidden or restricted).
  • Energy usage data is hard to view or has been removed/changed (numeric weekly usage replaced by bar charts).
  • Poor app design/UX with regressions after updates (generic alerts, confusing menus, and overall quality decline).

My unit won’t pair with my phone no matter what I try.

I have the settings at 140* at which it states a scalding alert. It’s July and not requiring extreme heat to shower. I can hold my hand under full hot water
