Chuck;

I have used the water heater on a 20 amp circuit with no problem.

Checked in the Atwood water heater manual, gas/electric heater is rated at 1500 watts (12.5 amps).

Thanks! I will check household circuit before attempting electric use. It is an old farmhouse so breaker might flip.

regards,

Chuck - you might want to check your spec sheet --- mine draws 11 - 12. Also, you really don't need to leave it on all the time..(before meals, showers, etc.)
