  Anyone know the story of the new Bosch Pro Tankless series? I've 
heard the old Bosch Aquastars were actually manufactured by Takagi 
and the new Pro Tankless really originates with Bosch? We've had a 
couple pass through the store but no chance to take it out of the 
package. The 425 HN is essentially the old 125 HX with both the hydro 
ignition and the solar preheat S/modulation option combined. Costs 
about $100 more but seems like the best option for off grid 
installations desiring solar thermal.
  Also, Scott mentioned that he's about to install a TK Jr and will 
post the results of phantom /standby draw. I'd love to see the 
results since I've heard .4 amps from a tech at Takagi but he didn't 
seem to be certain about it. That sort of consumption forces it to be 
on a switch but yet again the they could not guarantee that it's 
alright to be turning it off and on that many times or something 
about it being alright as long as you were not using the temperature 
remote controller? Any experiences?

Thanks again, Nick A Lucchese
