            It has a micro boiler setup that forces exact temp water out to your facet.

            Copper lines don't work for this type of setup because the copper can't support the rapid temperature changes.

              Copper to the tap can work with tankless but pex or insulated copper would be better.

                Heating element is inline. It's mostly amazing. Heats nothing when you don't need it, and never runs out of heat when you do.

                    Yep, they are really nice, and can be crazy energy efficient.

                      They are all that I would buy today. Take no space, are safer, cost less to operate. They are pretty nice.

                        They cost a fortune to install when compared to traditional boilers though.

                          Plus the cost of replacing all of the copper in the house that is used for plumbing besides maybe the drainage.

                              Yeah we would have to replace everything in our house. Including bigger propane lines to supply the darn thing and proper venting also. Not a quick fix at all. so we are going with traditional.

                                I have hot water "boiler" heat and kicking myself in the a$$ that I did not get an indirect hot water tank installed when I replaced the boiler when we moved in. My wife's uncle last week offered me a slightly used indirect tank if we want it for free (his 2 kids grown and gone does not need as much hot water, it they went tankless and are fine). Contemplating but would be self install

                                  I've heard that the tankless hot water heaters have issues with city water, specifically, they clog up easily due to all the additives/contaminants. Anyone know if that's true?

                                    My dad is a plumber and has put lots of these in and then taken them back out cause of all kinds of issues. They are very sensitive to everything. We are on a well so for us it would be a horrible idea.

                                        I would guess just like many things here. They are made better over there 😛

                                          And they are rather huge.

                                          They look the same size as normal to me?
