I aquired some "small" 1.6 gpm vent free tankless water heaters.
I am now living here, but it is not what you would call "finished" living conditions! I am in northern indiana, still have no furnace! anyway, another story..
I was thinking about putting in two, ( i have two) tankless's.. one right at the shower. and one down in the bsmt to "temper" the water up to a hopefully high enough temp to get good heat in the shower PLUS then my fixtures, bath sink, kitchen sink might see 75 degree water compared to the now 50 ish...
the dilema... these are small... 1.6gpm and only 1/2 inch water in and out.. I think the end one supplying the shower will be fine, but to do the tempered one, I would be cutting into my 3/4, then reducing to go through the tank, then back to 3/4 till the fixtures.
I think I have seen some houses run on little lines ( cheaply), and it may just be a water saver, restrictor!? what do you think?
just looking at different options...
