[Shop-talk] tankless/instant water heater

[Jim Stone]

I got tired of waiting for hot water in my kitchen (my dissatisfaction with my Rheem tankless water heater is a subject for a different day) and installed a 7 gallon Bosch water heater in the basement, as close to the kitchen faucet as I could get.  It makes an incredible difference and my wife considers it one of the best improvements I have made to our house in years. I am inclined to agree with her.  The 7 gallon version has to be hard-wired to a dedicated circuit, but the 2.5 and 4 gallon versions can be plugged in.  One of those should meet your needs pretty easily.  Here is a link to the Bosch units, although I am sure other brands will work just as well.
