Manufacturer vs NEC

A teenager? Wifey and I considered getting a nat-gas fired on-demand heater for exactly that reason, but the 3x cost versus a traditional 50gal put the kibosh on that.

I don't know any teenager that stays in the shower after the hot water runs out.😀
I alsomdon't know of many places that take more than 3 hours to heat 40-50 gals, and our water supply is around 50° during the winter.

Was that many years ago? Because these days the cost of a tankless gas and a 50gal gas water heater are basically the same.

Only three years ago last month... could be because I was able to purchase one of the last "traditional" tanks in the warehouse, rather than one of the newer models with condensers, recirc pumps, and all the other energy-efficiency bells and whistles now being required.
 
I've got a EFM DF520 stoker boiler with a domestic hot water coil in it, and that feeds into an 80 gallon electric. During the winter you could take a hot shower for a week and never run out. Thank God I'm not even close to being a teenager
