GREAT scoring system.

Particularly since GFX is non clogging and works with ALL sewer waters
(grey and black).

Efficiency is NOT the only criteria here. If we recover 40% to 60% of
the waste heat, we have made MAJOR strides in overall DHW production
efficiency. Convenience, non-clogging, wife friendly are all MAJOR
concerns.

Price is NOT the only factor either, but price and efficiency are Nick's
main concerns.

Nick's will have to be connected ONLY to non-toilet drains. Nick's will
have to be periodically cleaned of matter that goes down kitchen sinks
and out the clothes washer drain.

None of these are concerns with GFX.

If we can afford one of these, either of these, these other factors,
besides price and efficiency may well be MORE of a concern to the rest
of us.
