I have a Bosch natural gas tankless water heater that is about 13 years old. When we installed it, we found that it took a high rate of flow to trigger it to turn on. If the tap wasn't on full blast, the water heater would not turn on. So, we added a small electric water heater after it to act as a reservoir. That way, we always had a supply of hot water for those times you don't have the tap on all the way, and it has worked really well this way.
My water heater is getting kind of old and my question is, will a new tankless water heater have this same issue and should I figure on keeping the same setup with the small electric water heater, or have they solved this issue with newer models?
