Boy, created quite a stir of replies! I have some comments - for what
they're
worth....
- I've seen some posts about payout. Who cares about payout? If you can
afford
one, get one. In my opinion, it uses gas only when you turn on the hot
water
it will be hot as long as you wish. In a 3 1/2 bath house, when you have
your kids and grandkids visiting, you will ALWAYS have hot water. If you
deplete
a 50 gal tank heater, it's gone and you will have to wait until the entire
tank heats up, however long that takes - been there, done that, not
pleasant.
- I've also seen some posts about price. Find a reputable dealer and/or
plumber
and you can get one for about half of the prices I've seen posted -
installed!
Just do an Ebay search for N-069M. Although you do need to have a plumber
install the unit for warranty purposes, it really does not take rocket
science
to correctly size or install the unit. Just make sure you have the
properly
sized gas line supply as well.
I am very pleased with mine for over 6 months. I'll see how long it will
last,
but so far, I will install another one in the next house I build.
Again, just my 2 cents, no flames please. ...Bob
