Instantaneous Water Heaters

You could get 6 GPM of 120F water from a 60 kw tankless heater forever, but what house needs this much hot water?

Tubs with lane markers?

This probably goes with the houses that have foyers so big you can play tennis in them. :lol:

This reminds me of the time I had to replace a heating element in a water heater. The guy at the plumbing supply counter wanted to sell me an energy-saving heater element. It said "energy saving" right on the label, because it was about 90% of the standard wattage. He got mad when I laughed at it.

I couldn't convince him that the only way to use less energy was to set the stat lower. He thought I was nuts because I believed that less watts wasn't less energy.

The marketing guys can put a spin on the simplest things without actually lying. But they are intentionally creating a false impression from which they can gain.

Like the electric space heaters in a nice oak surround that are guaranteed to reduce your heating costs by up to 90%?
