[Shop-talk] point of service water heaters.

[Paul Mele]

I did a little blurb a while back on my tankless heaters.
Small sink in garage is a great application.  
I have a German job (Stiebel Eltron?) in my outbuilding.. .20A at 220V means 12
ga wire (under 75 or 100 ft, if I recall; 10 g if longer...whoever
remembers, please confirm).  Perfect for this kind of app. 
I believe the cost was $169, from Plumbers Supply on line.  I can look up
details if you need them...not with me now.

OK, I'm just getting my round tuit to add the sink to the garage.  I
already have a cold water line run and was planning on adding a "point of
service" water heater.  These are the little heaters that have a small (4
or 6 gal) tank and are designed for these type of installations.

As always, before the buy, anyone have any comments on them?  Things to
look for?  Local big box has a GE 6 Gal for $195 and a Ariston 4 GAL for
$160.

Is 4 gal enough for a garage sink?  Is there a cheaper source of these?
