As promised I am reporting back regarding the recent installation of my on demand water heater. First off let me state that it is not a Rinnai, it is another brand made by "State Water Heaters". It looks and works exactly the same as a Rinnai brand however.

It's been installed in my camp now for about two weeks and this past weekend we really had an opportunity to put it to the test. We had six guests plus my wife and I all using hot water for showers, laundry, etc. Many times there were two showers going at once! This thing never hicupped once and worked flawlessly. I am super impressed at its performance and at how quiet it is! I have read some previous posts regarding the wait for hot water, but I am not experiencing this. The wait for hot water as the cold water in the plumbing lines between the heater and faucet is removed is there, but that is standard with any water heater and is not a factor whatsoever.

Previously we had a small electric water heater and it could have never kept up this past weekend.

I can't really comment on the cost to run as it's simply too soon but at the end of the season I will report back. So far we absolutely love the on demand water heater!
