On Demand Water Heaters

[Mr. Bloom]

The carpet is pulled up and we have a fan on it.

I'd encourage you to go to the rental place and get the mega fans...

So what about the PIPES needs to be fixed up?

I have an old house with cast iron pipes. We're looking to add a master bedroom, and that will include all new systems (water, heat, a/c, water softener, but not new pipes or electrical, I hope). I know the tankless system will be expensive, but it's justifiable by not having to provide space for a water heater in a cramped space.

So what about the pipes?

And my rental house which I formerly lived in has two hot water tanks--one provides heat for one of the furnaces, too--and it was HEAVENLY to have!

they didn't seem too worried about my pipes they seemed more concerned about my GAS pipes, but after examination, they were found to be more than adequate.

Well, the heating unit was installed. The guy said "if this was mine, I would take the insulation that used to be wrapped around the old waterheater (dated 1981 btw) and fill it into the box. So i cut some out and did that before he hauled it away.

THe water comes in nice and warm, but it does seem to take longer; that's because instead of heating all night and gradually radiating somewhat up the pipe, the heater does not heat at all until you ask for it.

Tonight someone will take a bath or shower so I'll have more to report.

I cleaned that little room out, it was pretty gross, almost like outside; that's how black the dirt was that was there.

Mimi - Yeah for you!! May all of your showers be heavenly warm. I really wish we could have gone the route you are going.

We have two water heaters being piggy backed and a water softener being installed today. As we speak, in fact.

Let us know how you like your shower!
