Why not put a small electric baseboard heater and thermostat in there? Certainly cheaper than what you're considering and if you're only looking at a 3-4 degree temperature differential should be cheap enough to operate.

Thanks for the response. Since posting this I've done more research and it does seem that the savings tend to be over sold with tankless units. Initial cost seems to be comparable tank vs tankless.-comparing a A O Smith 40 gallon to the unit you referenced. Another unknown to me is life...

20 year old house, originally came with a 50 gallon electric, I changed to a 40 when the old one died. Just my wife and I, retired, occasionally another couple comes in for a weekend. Essentially, our hot water usage is a couple showers a day, clothes and dish washing appropriate to two...

OK. Things have changed since I was working with these. Going to look into a smaller tank and a CSV. Many, many, thanks Ev

I was thinking a shallow well pump with a separate bladder tank, but just looked at prices of bladder tanks. OWCH, been away from this stuff for awhile I guess. I did notice that most shallow well pump+tank combo's now seem to be 1-5 gallon tanks which seems small. I just remembered that the...

Taking suction from a 4" main, "other peoples faucets" are 1/4" mile up the road and about 3/8 mile down the road, all "users" are connnected via a check valve to protect the county water supply. Chlorine? County water already chlorinated, etc. The intent here is to add a tank and jockey pump...

Thanks for the response. Hmmm, going negative on the suction side wasn't something I'd considered. Definitely not going to add a supply tank and float switch to the cost. If I did anything would add a throttle valve on the discharge between the pump and tank to avoid this as it would be much...

We have county water however we're on top of, one of if not the tallest hills in the county. Our water pressure is about 12-15 PSI. I was thinking of adding a shallow well pump and storage tank, check valve is already in place courtesy of the county. As we occasionally lose water pressure...
