You just installed your new water heater loaded with smart features – now what? Often these smart features go unutilized, but they can make a big difference. Want to save or maximize hot water supply? Adjust your water heater schedule? Going on vacation? No problem. Using built-in Wi-Fi technology, the Rheem^® EcoNet^® app connects to your smart water heater to alert you of important information, help you address problems before they occur and save on energy costs. You can always monitor your water heater right from your smartphone.
With our app update, we make controlling the water heater from anywhere¹ easy. Read on to find out more about the smart features. Let’s keep the hot water flowing!

Walkthrough of Rheem EcoNet Smart Features

Convenient App Overview – When you open the app, a dashboard screen will greet you. You can rely on this for quick status updates on the water heater’s operation mode, compressor health, hot water availability and the unit’s set water temperature. Here, you can see the dashboard for the Rheem ProTerra^® Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heater, which is one of our smart products.

Operation Modes and Scheduling – With one tap, you can adjust your set point and choose from five operation modes: Electric, Heat Pump, High Demand, Away/Vacation and Energy Saver.

Element Health Indicator – Know if an element is declining so you can proactively replace it before it becomes a problem.

LeakGuard^™ Leak Detection and Prevention – Protect your home from potential damage with this all-inclusive leak detection and prevention system² that detects any leak—large or small, internal or external—in as little as 15 seconds³ limiting leaks to no more than 20 oz. of water.⁴

Energy Usage Tracking – View weekly, monthly and yearly energy usage reports from your phone to help you better manage energy consumption.

Geofencing – In the app Away settings, set your water heater to change to Away/Vacation mode when you reach a certain distance from your home. This is useful when your whole family is going on vacation or leaving for the day. It changes back to your normal operating mode when you return.

A Future of Comfort, Energy Savings and Peace of Mind

Eliminate the surprise of not having hot water and find the perfect balance between energy savings and hot water availability, all from the EcoNet app.
