[Shop-talk] instant water heater

[Jim Stone]

If you really just want it for washing your hands, something like this should be more than enough.  https://www.amazon.com/Bosch-Electric-Mini-Tank-Heater-2-5-Gallon/dp/B0148O658Y/ref=sr_1_5?crid=18UQX0CNA7W4Q&keywords=under%2Bsink%2Bwater%2Bheater%2Belectric&qid=1702484567&sprefix=under%2Bsink%2Bwater%2Bheater%2Belectric%2Caps%2C100&sr=8-5&th=1. I got tired of waiting for hot water to reach my kitchen sink for quick hand washing, etc and installed the 7 gallon version and it has been perfect.  I put it in the hot water line about 5 feet from the sink (the closest place it could be easily installed) and we get quick hot water when we need it.  Unless they have made changes from when I did this about 3 years ago, the 7 gallon version needs to be hard-wired to a dedicated line, while the 2.5 and 4 gallon ones can just be plugged in, which makes them a lot easier to install.
