Tankless water heaters

I use them and love them. I have a small 120v version at each bathroom sink and provides instant hot water with no wasted heating of pipes. Larger 240 v models for kitchen and clothes washer.
Winterizing // I use a small portable air compressor like those you might carry in a car. and blow the unit dry. drain the line feeding in and insert the plastic adapter used to blow up swim toys into the flexable hose end and let the unit vent into the sink. Turn the faucet valve on and off to build and release pressure to blow out. Has worked for 10 years with out any problems. I have to do this several weekends as I am on an island and do not leave heat on when away. So for a few weekends in April to mid May and Mid October to November the system gets shut down. Only takes a few minutes each time and save the anti freeze ($) for the drains.
