[VAC] Re: tankless water heaters - more

[John and Jodi Guerin <guerin3j@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think the advantage in an RV is not ever running out of hot water.  Of 
course that would mostly be in situations where the water is in unlimited 
supply.  As for a home I KNOW that the savings is real.  We use about a 
third of the gas to power our tankless hot water heater compared to the old 
one, which was just an ordinary hot water heater.  Also, I never have to 
wait for the water to reheat before I take a shower, run the dishwasher or 
clothes washer.  The third advantage is that these things have very little 
parts that ever need replacing because you are removing the corrosion prone 
tank of water.  I paid about $600 for mine and have probably have more than 
recouped my money's worth with the gas price hikes.  Oh, and by the way, I 
never have a shower where I wish the flow was stronger, in fact it's better 
flow than most regular showers I've been in.  True Story.

PS, we also have a "clothes processor", the kind that washes and dries in 
one unit and doesn't have to be vented.  Talk about New Age...
