SR denny. Thanks for your reply.What do yurupeans use to heat their homes? I realize a lot of them do live in multi-family units with a common heat source. But there are a large number of single family dwellings as well. I remember visiting my grandmother in Germany back in the 80's having a tankless heater for the domestic water and cast iron radiators for their heat source.
I'm curious as to what sort of maintenance is required for the tankless. I feel a little foolish for finding this site after the fact of installing a Rannai unit. I live on Long Island where the water is very good. I am not aware of any contaminants that would clog our plumbing. If so what sort of precautions should I take as the system is only used for heating the floors so half the year it won't be operating.
I also interested as to what "extra plumbing"(other than a gas line) is needed for the tankless vs the tank type? Outside of the floor heating loops there seems to water in, water out, gas supply.
