<div class="moz-cite-prefix">If its a Rinai, I measured one once
that was 30 watts AC standby, and jumped a bit higher when
firing. It also needed pure sine.<br>
The customer swapped it for a regular hot water tank.<br>
Some Bosches and old Palomas, etc. had either a piezo ignition or
pilot, but took no power.<br>
I'm working on a system with one now that needs 12vdc at about 5
watts.<br>

<div>Off-grid Wrenches,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> I'm working on a load sheet and am having a hard time
finding standby and while firing electrical usage for a
propane-fired on demand water heater. Do they some/all have
standing pilots, glow bars, something else? I'm guessing the
standby power needs are very low but we all know how even 10-15
watts adds up over 24 hrs when you're off-grid.</div>

<div> If any body has some actual numbers rather than just
pdf.specs (though manus specs might help some), I would be most
grateful. Thanks in advance.</div>
