[Greenbuilding] Eltron -

[natural building]

John, although I have no experience with the Steibel Eltron Tempra, a  
couple of years ago I did a bunch of research into tankless electric  
heaters and ended up choosing Hubbell ( http://www.buytankless.com ).

Numerous reasons:
1	best (most accurate and lowest-flow) flow control system which  
activates at .25 gpm where most only kick in at about .5 gpm. Obvious  
water-saving advantages.
2	Capable of accepting intake water at any temperature which therefore  
allows it to be used very effectively in a recirc loop. (several can't)
3	Very well designed: Sharkbite connectors, making it easy to install  
and maintain; 16" mounting holes (amazing how few had this simple  
feature); and capable of precise control with comprehensive  
performance info feedback.
4	A good warranty with the backing of a very solid company and very  
responsive customer support.

Disadvantages: No Canadian distributors, but they were happy to ship  
direct.

This info is a couple of years old so maybe S-E have improved their  
units, but on paper the Hubbells won easily for me (and is working  
very well).

Steve Satow
