Eco 11. Can I use 6AWG for the Ground if I’m using 8AWG for the two power wires?
You cannot use 8 AWG on Eco 11. Must use 6 AWG and 10 AWG for ground.

I Have a ganged 60amp breaker now (two 30amp breakers) serving my tank heater with two 3500watt elements. This is within 500watts of the draw of the ECO-11. This is a very small increase considering the safety factor built into the wiring code as it stands. Do you envision a real problem with this?
Actually yes I see a problem. So I'm going to try to answer your question as best I can based on your observation.
1. Two 30 amp breakers do not equal 60 amps. It equals 30 amps at 220VAC.
2. Two 3500 watt elements equals 7000 watts (7.0 KW)
3. I dont understand how you arrive at a 500 watt differential between your current tank and the Eco 11.
4. On the low end the Eco 11 is rated at 11KW same as 11000 (thousand) watts so the difference in watts between your tank and the Eco 11 is 7000 watts not 500. And 7000 watts alone would account for roughly 35 amps @ 220 VAC. So 30 + 35 equals 65 total amp draw.
5. The Eco 11 requires one double pole 60 amp breaker. It will read 60/60 on the throw or switch. By your calculations that would equal 120 total amps. Because you are multipliying your amps by 2. And thats incorrect.
6. On a double pole breaker amps are not to be double or multiplied. On the other hand voltage doubles. Example each leg from a double pole 30 amp breaker is 110 volts respectively which equals 220 volts total. 110 X 2 =220 VAC. 30/30 is still 30 amps @ 220 VAC.
7. Example if your dealing with a 110 VAC @ 30 amp circuit you then have one (1) single pole breaker @ 110 VAC.
Conclusion your 30 amp double pole breaker and wire will not run the Eco 11. You'll need to change breaker to a double pole 60 @ 220 VAC and you'll have to go up to 6 gauge wire to handle the load properly. 6 gauge THHN is rate up to 75 amps and 6/2 Romex is rated to 55 amps.
Hope this helps you. Please feel free to call us and we will be happy to explain it all to you. 305-823-6991

Can this connect to the power and plumbing source of an existing water heater?
Not if it's a conventional tank heater. Plumbing yes. Electrical no. This unit requires 60 amp breaker and 6 gauge wire.

Does it work well in an RV?
Typically, when installing a tankless water heater in an RV, electrical capacity can become a roadblock. The EcoSmart Eco 11 tankless water heater, for example, pulls 57 amps of electricity, requiring a Double Pole 60 Amp breaker for installation. In most cases, an RV will not be capable of handling this electrical demand. In order for us to better assist you in the sizing of your tankless water heater, please give us a call at 305-823-6991. We would be happy to help you!

Some photos show what appears to be 1/2" stainless male pipe fittings for the inlet and outlet connections but the specs say 1/2" cf. If the connections are compression what was the reasoning for that? I have an Eco 11 on order but if the connections are compression then it will be very expensive for me to convert to standard pipe. Do you know the diameter of the 1/2" opening? Is it 1/2" pipe size or tubing size?
The heater comes with a NPT adapters from compression to NPT.
