[Greenbuilding] old question revisited-tankless heater

[Sacie Lambertson]

All, Our Bosch propane tankless heater is beginning to fail and we are
thinking about replacing it with another tankless.  It is located in a shed
next to a cabin that is not always used, although for the next several
years we anticipate a regular single occupant.  The current model has a
pilot light; obviously we prefer one that is electronically ignited which I
think they all are now.  Suggestions, thoughts?  I've read a number of
reviews.  It would not be too difficult to install a passive solar heated
system in this cabin too, an alternative.

I've used tankless for years now but one aspect of the type I dislike is
the fact a lot of water goes down the drain before the hot water finally
reaches the faucet.  In this cabin the shower is within 10 feet, with the
sinks not over 15'-18', but water loss nonetheless is a negative factor.

thanks,  Sacie
