Yeah I would say tech support isn't going to be as robust as the engineers who create the manual and documentation, but I see where you're coming from. Absolutely if your only concern is power...

Again, here you go with less electricity. Of course it uses less electricity. No one said that it wouldn't use less electricity. That's the point of getting a heat pump water heater. We're talking...

Despite the wording and what the manual and app would have you believe Heat Pump mode uses less electricity than "energy saver" . This is fact based on having one for three years and switching back...

No. Vacation mode is for when you're away. I'm linking the manual for you, look at page 17 and 19.
If you reread my comment. I didn't say the least power, I said the most EFFICIENT.

I have no idea what you're talking about as I have it set to energy saver mode and it's set to 120 F. Vacation mode is the one that is when you're away. I have no idea if you have an older model or...

You didn't hook it up right.
Pool Heat Pump will also create a pond.

But need to accumulate and channel away the water. Drain etc
