Hello Peter,<br>
Quietside has developed a gas tankless water heater especially to use
solar preheat. It condensing, 90% efficient, and uses a dual gas valve
to achieve an amazing 6.7 to 1 modulation range. It uses PVC Flues, can
be set up for propane or NG. We have been using Quietside products now
for 5 years, and they have been very reliable. What I use for solar
water heating is the TCT Progressive Tube solar water heater with the
Quietside On Demand Water (ODW) 120, in the middle of their product
range. Since we have started using the ODW we have no callbacks and no
complaints. We also use the D'mand hot water circulation system to
accelerate hot water to the back bathroom and save water. The three
products work seamlessly together. <br>
