Thanks BC The gallons/minute at 90 degree increase is almost addiquate. Our water is about 40 degrees out of the ground. However I can install a storage tank that can be used or isolated depending upon need. The residence is a vacation type 2bd 2bth
I was mostly wondering about the quietside reputation in general. Dependable? Troublesome? I know the controls seem to baffle some of the local techs if the installation is anything but "typical"
Electric tankless heaters are retarded. They serve no purpose and will never pay for themselves.
I have no idea what it saves or doesn't save as far as fuel consumption...my point is space and amount of continual hot water. Picture a fat azz tank in this room and you coming to service the furnace...I'll bet you would bi*ch and moan then....:w00t:I see. So, just how much does an electric tankless heater save over a modern electric tanked heater in terms of stand by loss percentages?
I await your knowledgeable answer........:whistling

I think he was referring to the braided supplies and the lack of a full port ball valve.
Just wait until a flow sensor goes bad or an element blows and you get to live without hot water for a week while the part gets ordered. I'm a service plumber so I know a thing or to about tankless heaters. I'm the guy who gets to tell the homeowner that they will be paying to overnight the special order part.
In your defense, that tempra is the most reliable electric tankless around. Electric units as a whole are very unreliable though.
And the answer to my previous question is 1-3%. That works out to $1 or less per month for most people.
