Hello all..... First I must say a 4 year old has better spelling than i do (no joke) so sorry for the spelling errors.
After reading all the info I could I have never needed to post as all my questions have ben ansered here thanks guys!!!!! However with tankless water heaters the opinions seem to very quite a bit so I thought I would share my experiance with mine I just had installed. I live in northern utah and it gets cold on the winter here. I had my old 30 gal water heater replaced with tankless just last week and I must say I LOVE IT. There are a few things that are quite diffrent about it for one it dose take about 20-30 seconds to get the water to its full temp but it dose get the water HOT. I set the temp at 115f and at the farthest tub away the temp was 114f and it will sit there all day at that temp. however depending on the incoming water temp and how hot you want the water there is a water pressure drop. usualy not much but if you want to run 2 bath tubs at the same time forget it. you can easly run any 2 others and be fine (shower,dishes,laundry,faucet,ect) just not 2 tubs with mine anyway and the price was about a grand more than a mh rated gas tank style however with the tax credits and my gas company is giving me 300 rebate the total cost is about $150.00 more is all. I do question the energy savings they say I will get but will find out more with time. The way I figure it if it lasts 20-25 years like they say it will (with care of corse) it will be well worth the price.
The other day I had dishwasher,laundry, and my boy took a bath at the same time and imediatly after me and my wife took showers with no problem at all.
