style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
thanks, Sacie<br>
