Takagi T-K Jr-NG Natural Gas Flash Natural Gas Compact Tankless Water Heater 5.8 GPM - Can be Instal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This "hot" water heater came with the house we bought. The problem is the water looses heat, rapidly. In fact the water is instantly ice cold without warning(dangerous for Grandmothers). It is less than five years old. The plumber has been to our house a couple times to look at it; as did the previous owners. The last time he was on the phone with Takagi's tech support and they both could not trouble shoot the problem. Everything tech support suggested was checked and the result was; no reason for the cold water problem. The fact is we're wasting more cold water down the drain than saving by having the "on demand" water heater. With the service calls, we're installing a tank water heater. I honestly don't think Takagi could get me to install another of their products in my house, even if it were free. Every bath, shower, laundry load and dish washer load shouldn't be an uphill battle.

Bosch 1000P NG AquaStar 2-3/5 GPM Indoor Tankless Gas Water Heater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just self-installed my 1000 P NG water heater I got from Amazon (1-week shipping was free). Took me a day (soldering copper pipe is not very easy for me). I replaced a 40-gallon tank unit. I live in a small beach house in Southern Califoria and needed to replace my 1997 tank unit and since the Bosch was actually less than a tank unit and I could gain much needed floor space, I gave it a try. After replacing my existing 3" venting with 4" double-wall, the total insatlled price was a little more than if I had bought another tank unit. This unit has a "234 therms/year" government rating versus "263" for the tank unit it replaced (so I don't expect to save much on my gas bill). I had researched tank-less water heaters and this Bosch unit does not require stainless steel venting which saves a lot of money over galvanized. As with all units I have read about, it's limitation is that you must use at least 1/2 GPM of hot water in order to get the unit to fire-up (no more trickle of hot water during shaving). The quality of the unit was OK-the drip pan must be user installed and requires modification to work, and the front cover was bent somewhat and makes adjustements in gas flow difficult. Read the users manual on-line before buying and you won't have any surprises. I operate the unit at it's lowest water flow setting (the right-hand knob) since this also means that the unit will fire at the lowest water flowrate. I also operate it at its lowest gas flow setting and the water is still REALLY hot, so I am not sure what all of the complaints are out there about luke warm water. Bosch states that every 2+ years, preventative maintenance is required (something not required with a tank unit), so keep that in mind before buying.
I'll right another review after a year or so, or, earlier if I have problems.
