My TK-2 is in my unfinished basement at a fairly constant temperature. It's not anywhere near the temps of 65-70f but it's not near outside freezing temps either. I'd love to hear about your setup if you don't mind sending me a PM. I'm needing some hot water changes soon.

Excerpt from my jacuzzi tub installation manual for supporting the tub.

My contractors actually state the opposite which is why I posted it as an option. I've not done it myself, just helped them do it to my tub. They have pulled several tubs that were insulated in and didn't have any problem. My post was a reflection of their experiences and thoughts. The...

Sorry, I should have put that in my original thread as I see it discussed a lot. It would be nice if I had a boiler, I like the layout that you guys have discussed here. I have forced air heat though. Believe it or not, the TK-2 has been able to keep up with everything we throw at it. My...

I know it's extremely hard to describe a layout over the internet so I'll do my best to make it clear. I am starting to call some local plumbers and have them come out and give me some opinions and quotes, but I wanted to see what you guys say first. Our original house was 1400 sq ft and 60'...

Fill the tub about 1/2 or 3/4 of the way full and use expanding foam underneath the tub. Don't get the windows/door version, just get the regular expanding foam. It works well. That's what they used on my new Jacuzzi tub. They say they stopped using mortar a long time ago.

What's your well pressure switch set at? Ours works very well with our well. :) We added onto our house and didn't have the money to do anything with our how water system yet. I've been very surprised to see our TK-2 keep up. I'm still planning on some changes soon but it seems to be working...

I've never had any "cold sandwich" problems with my Takagi TK-2. Is it perfect, no. Does it fill my large tub and allow me to have 3 showers going at once? Yes. It may get replaced in the future but I have to get something large enough for that occasional tub fill. I'm currently looking at...

Boy that doesn't look good....

I would use fiberglass for several reasons 1. It's fairly cheap 2. It's extremely flexible 3. It can be removed if needed The fiberglass will be extremely forgiving as you try to stuff it around things. Fiberglass gains a lot of its R value by the air it traps inside all the weaves...

Interesting. Thanks for the continued feedback. I have a respected local plumber who has mentioned a similar unit to me. I didn't give it much thought until I saw this thread here. It's not this brand, but a different one that I don't care to mention. I'll just get slammed as being a plant...
