Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Tankless water heater?

Jason

I never experienced the problem with no water in the shower when I had the old heater. At the time I had the heater installed I also had a pressure reducer installed. I guess my pressure used to be between 125-150psi. It is now reduced to 95psi. Perhaps that is why I did not experience the problem before.

We are on a well and I recently worked on my pressure. It was fluctuating from 18 psi (a mere dribble) to around 45 PSI. My fiddling got it from 33 - 60 psi and we think we are in heaven. I have a pressure washer that can't hit 150 psi? Sounds like that would peel the skin off?

Sorry to add what seems to be an opposing opinion, but, then, as said, other attendant systems have a great affect on the outcome.

We have a small house w/ forced hotwater bsbd. The tankless sytem that was here when we bought was tied into the furnace/heat system. When the heat was on in the house, both the pressure and the delivery of hot water were compromised.

We switched to (elec) hot water 3 years ago (60gal).

We've been much happier. Or, since the comparative is disappearing, "more happy."
