What filter are you talking about?
Air filter: Usually with a heat and air unit, the air filter is located behind the return air grill.
Return air grill looks similar to ordinary ceiling or floor grill where the hot or cold air blows into each room. Except the return air grill is larger and is usually put close to the heat-air unit.
Remove the grill and replace filter every 3-6 months.
If no filter is present, then dust and hair get stuck on the coils and unit will not meet temperature setting.
See image of typical air filter:

Yes, just buying a home with a RHEEM AC unit, Model RBHC-1711SFH. Can you tell me the approximate age.....I can't seem to find it on the label.

I can't find any information on that MODEL you listed in your question. It's sort of like the Rheem Air Handler models but notthing comes back. In any case you will NEED the SERIAL number, as that will tell you all you need to know about it. If you can't decipher SN, call RHEEM and they can give you the info on that unit. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Bought a rheem rete 13 off ebay

Question posted under Rheem tankless water heater:

Call Rheem at 800 432 8373
They will need serial number located on label on side of unit.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html

Usually I recommend that people tear out their tankless water heater and sell it on ebay, and then install tank-type heater from different manufacturer:
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-install-gas-water-heater.html

I would be very reluctant to connect used gas appliance without a product manual, and service manual.

How to change from ºF to ºC on the UMC-117?

According to the 2012 manual, 'the LED display only shows F.'
Bottom page 65. Yet the F temperatures are also shown as C in the manual.
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/How-to-set-Rheem-tankless-temperature.pdf
You probably have different model, or older model?.?
Older manual (page 15) shows same temperature range with both F and C, but typical of Rheem, the manual is totally vague about settings and say that qualified tech needed to adjust temps beyond factory default range (with no mention of display showing C) ... which is safeguard since the damg product cannot always heat water fast enough to reach higher set points above 120F.
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/TanklessOutdoor_95_84_64X_UC_AP15318.pdf

Call Rheem 800-432-8373 and give your product serial number and model number located on side of unit, and ask them.

Don't forget to keep the product maintained to avoid common error codes.

Installed a tankless gas hot water heater a few months ago, and ever since then when ever I turn on the hotwater, I get pockets of air coming out of the faucet. There are no leaks in the water lines, but...

1) Never, ever install tankless water heater, unless your wallet is 2" thick and you enjoy nuisance problems and recommended continual maintenance.
2) Add in-line air vent.
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/Air-vent-added-to-return-22.jpg
3) Look for check valve along the line. Look for mixing valve, pressure regulating valve, etc.
4) If you have recirculation system, remove cross-over check valve and see if problem is located there.
5) Contact Rheem. 800-432-8373 They will want model number, serial number, and name of installer. And might recommend contacting installer or plumber.
6) Increase water flow. Check water flow requirement of tankless (.5 gallons per minute activation) with actual flow at faucet.
7) Clean water filter at tankless unit.
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Tankless-maintenance.pdf
8) Crossover at single-handled faucet.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Crossover.html
9) Fix all leaking faucets indoor and outdoor so no air is being sucked in.
10) Bad TP valve on water heater sucking in air each time water pressure pulls on the valve?

My unit is a paloma tankless model # PTG-74PVP its throwing error code C4 15 what does this mean? We believe its a flow problem because we hooked up an external pump, it starts out with full flow then...

Could be a restricted inlet pipe just as you suspected.
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/ErrorcodeTroubleshooting.pdf
error 15 is 'Boiling safety device'
"Check for closed water heater inlet valve or restrictions in cold water inlet pipe (must be fully open).
Check for clogged heat exchanger (scale buildup).
On commercial water heater, lower setpoint temperature below 180F at high altitude."

THE Indoor tankless heater will turn on(with hot water on), light the priority light for 5 seconds, then the light will go off and the control reads a C2 11 error code. can you email me the 11 page...

Before calling service technician, best way to approach this problem is to contact Rheem with your specific model and serial number.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html

Error codes are starting place for troubleshooting.
C2 11 is gas and ignition related.
The same symptoms on your tankless unit can have different cause and solution than another tankless unit.

The burner might need to be cleaned.
Undersized gas meter, or low gas pressure should be checked.
Air in gas line.
Short circuit in gas solenoid.
Bad igniter.
Igniter wiring harness.
Tankless is not grounded.
Vent exceeds allowable height or length limit

All gas water heaters require periodic maintenance.
The manual is a good place to start for advisories and troubleshooting and required maintenance.
Tankless water filter should be cleaned monthly, and heat exchanger de-limed yearly.

How to correct error code C-7 on my RTG-74PVN Rheem Pronto

I had the same problem and called the manufacturer. The error code C-8 was followed by the number 76. They told me to disconnect the thermostat/digital display from the main unit. This was fairly simple to do by removing the front panel. The unit works steady now without shutting down after a few minutes. The help desk told me that the main circuit board needs to be replaced for the unit to work with the display and that they would mail me one asap. At least we have hot water again.
