tankless water heater

Hi there! I have a couple questions but Ill explain myself first. We have well water and it has methane in it from being in the badlands as well as fracking in the area I've heard? The well water is soft, and has high bicarbonate in it. Will a tankless be okay with this type of water? I wonder...

Hi everyone. After years of reliable use, the burners aren't staying lit after turning on the hot water. They come on for a few seconds and then turn off. So far to troubleshoot, I've cleaned the pilot light assembly, checked the thermostatic sensor to make sure it was clean, checked the cold...

I am looking to switch over to a tankless water heater but want to learn more, real world info about transitioning from a 30 gal gas traditional to a tankless. I have researched some and know some about flow rate and temp rise desired from input temp to 115 deg f. My situation is that i...

So I am getting ready to plumb my new pottery studio, and I have a question about my idea for water heaters. This is for a single sink only. I was originally going to put in a small electric tankless. But after reading about how they work, I am not sure if it will work well for my needs. I will...

Hi all, I was sold a Navien NCB 210E combi boiler in August with the golden promises of its efficiency and effectiveness. The background: It was officially operational Sept 1. Since then, it has failed to keep up with the heat demand when the temperature hit -10C and the propane consumption has...

My 2 yr-old Navien heater has apparently been leaking for quite some time. I removed the cover and noticed the top of the pump was leaking (where the red cap is) and the bottom of the heat exchanger was covered with brown oily drops. Navien phone support says there is no oil in the system that...

Considering overall quality, functionality, efficiency, and value?

I've got two 40 gal tanks in a series providing my hot water with recirculating pump and non-dedicated return line. First one in the series has failed and we've been "surviving" off the one. I'm thinking of the Navien 240 tankless to feed my tank (no sense in ditching a good tank). Since the...

I bought a Thermar super power pack (9kw, model HP9024s) back in 1986 but never installed it. I'm considering installing it in a rental unit. The water heater would only serve 1 clothes washer--nothing else connected to the line. Would you recommend this, or should I just spend the $ and...

I'm looking into getting a Takagi outdoor tankless unit and I'm thinking about installing in my crawl space. The crawl space is conditioned but the access to it is outside, so temps can get pretty cold down there. I wanted to do an outdoor unit to eliminate the existing venting up into the attic...
