Description
Fogatti InstaShower 9 Pro RV Tankless Water Heater – 66,000 BTU
The Fogatti InstaShower 9 Pro RV Tankless Water Heater is a high-output propane water heater designed to provide continuous hot water for RVs, fifth wheels, travel trailers, and motorhomes.
With a maximum input of 66,000 BTU, flow rates up to 3.6 GPM, and a built-in mixing tank designed to smooth out temperature fluctuations, the InstaShower 9 Pro is built for RV owners who want stronger hot-water performance than a traditional 6- or 10-gallon tank water heater can provide.
66,000 BTU Tankless Performance
The InstaShower 9 Pro uses a powerful 66,000 BTU propane burner to heat water only when hot water is requested.
Because there is no traditional storage tank to recover, the water heater can provide a continuous supply of hot water as long as adequate propane, water flow, and 12V power are available.
Fogatti rates the InstaShower 9 Pro for water flow up to 3.6 gallons per minute, making it suitable for larger RVs and heavier hot-water demand.
Built-In Mixing Tank
One of the major differences between the InstaShower 9 Pro and many standard RV tankless water heaters is its built-in mixing tank.
The small internal buffer helps smooth the transition between changing burner output and changing water-flow conditions. This can reduce the hot-and-cold temperature swings sometimes experienced with tankless RV water heaters.
Fogatti specifically positions the 9 Pro as the model for users who want higher flow combined with improved temperature stability.
Adjustable Water Temperature
The included digital controller allows the desired outlet-water temperature to be set between approximately:
95°F to 123°F
Instead of overheating the water and mixing large amounts of cold water at the faucet, the tankless system can be set closer to the desired usable temperature.
Designed for Larger RVs and Higher Hot-Water Demand
The InstaShower 9 Pro is Fogatti’s highest-output model in the current InstaShower lineup.
Fogatti recommends it particularly for:
-
Larger fifth wheels
-
Class A motorhomes
-
Class C motorhomes
-
Full-time RV living
-
Families or multiple occupants
-
Back-to-back showers
-
Higher hot-water demand
-
Colder incoming-water temperatures
Compared with the InstaShower 7 and 8 Plus, the 9 Pro provides both the highest burner output and highest rated water-flow capacity.
High Altitude Performance
The Fogatti InstaShower 9 Pro is designed for operation at elevations up to approximately 9,800 feet.
This makes it a strong option for RV owners who regularly camp in mountain regions where some propane appliances can experience reduced combustion performance.
Actual performance at altitude can still be affected by propane pressure, incoming-water temperature, airflow, and installation conditions.
Minimum RV Opening
Fogatti specifies a minimum clear installation opening of approximately:
13" x 13"
The water heater is offered with different exterior door configurations to cover a variety of existing RV water-heater openings.
Available door sizes include:
-
15" x 15"
-
15" x 18"
-
18" x 18"
The larger exterior door options allow the InstaShower 9 Pro to cover many openings left behind when replacing conventional RV tank water heaters.
Replacement for Traditional RV Water Heaters
The InstaShower 9 Pro can be used as a retrofit replacement for many traditional RV water heaters, provided the opening, utilities, and installation requirements are compatible.
The available exterior door sizes make it suitable for many former:
-
6-gallon water-heater openings
-
10-gallon water-heater openings
-
Larger tank-style water-heater openings
Fogatti notes that the 18" x 18" door provides coverage for many former 10-, 12-, and 16-gallon water-heater openings.
Always measure the existing opening before ordering.
12V DC Operation
The InstaShower 9 Pro requires 12V DC electrical power for the electronic controls, ignition system, fan, and related operating components.
It does not use a conventional 120V electric heating element.
The water itself is heated by LP propane, while the electrical system operates the controls and combustion components.
Water & Gas Connections
Fogatti specifies:
Water Inlet: 1/2"
Water Outlet: 1/2"
Gas Inlet: 5/8" UNF
Fuel: LP Propane
Electrical Supply: 12V DC
The water heater should be installed only after confirming compatibility with the RV's propane, plumbing, electrical, and exterior venting systems.
Water Pressure Range
The InstaShower 9 Pro is designed for water pressures ranging approximately from:
14.5 PSI to 150 PSI
Adequate flow and pressure are necessary for proper tankless-water-heater operation.
Low campground pressure, a weak RV water pump, clogged plumbing, or restricted fixtures can reduce available hot-water flow.
Freeze Protection
The InstaShower 9 Pro includes freeze-protection functionality for cold-weather operation.
However, built-in freeze protection should not be considered a substitute for proper RV winterization when the water heater will be exposed to prolonged freezing temperatures without power, propane, or water circulation.
Digital Temperature Controller
A wired digital controller is included with the water heater.
The controller allows the user to:
-
Set desired hot-water temperature
-
Monitor heater operation
-
Adjust water temperature from inside the RV
Fogatti lists the adjustable temperature range as 95°F to 123°F.
