tankless water heaters [RE-wrenches]

[Conrad Geyser]

<x-flowed>

Todd,
We've had very good luck with both the Takagi and Rinnai tanklesses.  They 
take 120VAC power but not much.  They both are "temperature modulated" which 
means that they will work with solar preheated water.  They are very nice, 
sophisticated, easy to install machines that are lit by an ignitor, not a 
pilot.
The ones you are reffering to are "flow modulated" and will overheat solar 
preheated water.
good luck,
Conrad Geyser
