in the last few weeks we've had a run of repairs.
- New Washer/dryer
- Truck repair
- Roof repair (now)
I can hear the hammers swinging.
Roof was done in about 30-45 minutes.. which is good since a strong storm cell just ran through ... about 40mph winds and some rain. yet most of the rain was a mile south of us. dang in.

Hot water tank died... making a trip to Home Depot for a new one and then I know what I'll be doing this afternoon.
What's tanking so long? Even in the dead of summer I need a hot shower.. helps work on the sinuses

It has a micro boiler setup that forces exact temp water out to your facet.
Copper lines don't work for this type of setup because the copper can't support the rapid temperature changes.

Copper to the tap can work with tankless but pex or insulated copper would be better.

Heating element is inline. It's mostly amazing. Heats nothing when you don't need it, and never runs out of heat when you do.

Win2016 TP5, need some screenshots

Yep, they are really nice, and can be crazy energy efficient.

They are all that I would buy today. Take no space, are safer, cost less to operate. They are pretty nice.

They cost a fortune to install when compared to traditional boilers though.
-
Plus the cost of replacing all of the copper in the house that is used for plumbing besides maybe the drainage.

Isn't a bomb. Doesn't flood, unless you have a leak in a pipe
-
Yeah we would have to replace everything in our house. Including bigger propane lines to supply the darn thing and proper venting also. Not a quick fix at all. so we are going with traditional.

I have hot water "boiler" heat and kicking myself in the a$$ that I did not get an indirect hot water tank installed when I replaced the boiler when we moved in. My wife's uncle last week offered me a slightly used indirect tank if we want it for free (his 2 kids grown and gone does not need as much hot water, it they went tankless and are fine). Contemplating but would be self install

I've heard that the tankless hot water heaters have issues with city water, specifically, they clog up easily due to all the additives/contaminants. Anyone know if that's true?

My dad is a plumber and has put lots of these in and then taken them back out cause of all kinds of issues. They are very sensitive to everything. We are on a well so for us it would be a horrible idea.

In Romania that all that they have... well + in line heater combinations.

I would guess just like many things here. They are made better over there
