Thank you for sharing your experience with the Gladiator 55 Gal. Tall 12 Year 4500/4500-Watt Smart Electric Water Heater. It sounds like the leak detection feature is sensitive and can be triggered during installation if it comes into contact with water.
It’s good to know that the app allows you to override the alert for 24 hours at a time. This can indeed be helpful for remote support during installations. Your feedback about wishing for an adjustable override time period is valuable. It might be worth sharing this feedback directly with the manufacturer as well, as it could lead to improvements in future models.
Remember to perform regular maintenance to ensure its longevity and efficiency. Enjoy your hot water!
