Hot water tanks typically corrode out in ten years, so if yours is anywhere near that age it is best to replace it if it has already stopped working. If still working put a water leakage detector under it and keep the batteries fresh! Go with a good name brand tankless that has a reputation for good support, and find out how resistant to corrosion it is, this would be my primary concern.

This is important! Ask This Old House had a segment where Richard replaced an old tankles with a new one because the manufacterer had gone out of business leaving the old wh un-repairable. |

It had never been replaced. >Go with a good name brand tankless that has a reputation for good >support, and find out how resistant to corrosion it is, this would be my >primary concern. I now have a house with a Combi gas boiler that has no tank. The water gets heated on demand. The it takes about five seconds to heat the water. Steve -- http://www.npsnn.com |

Surprised no one has yet pointed out that if the water is that hard then you will need to choose a model with a Teflon coated (or similar) heat exchanger or it too will scale up eventually. |
| thekmanrocks@gmail.com: Sep 29 05:48PM -0700 Allodoxaphobia: Boomboxes, at least those of the golden era (late 1970s to mid 1980s) have largely run their course on the thrift store and yard sale circuit. Most are now sold only on line, or at shows like Kutztown/Renninger's. What I have seen at tag sales lately is not pretty. So I'll just have to make sure I have those two days free in May and in Sept. of next year. The three hour drive might just be worth it! |
