I'm considering installing this unit(s). I would like to hear from

appreciated. 2 full bathrooms here. Thanks!


Which Bosch, the larger unit is made by Takagi, the small unit 110000
btu is a one bath unit. You need proper gas flow or full BTU will
never be reached, You need it tested while all gas apliances are on.
What is winter time water temp lows. You need to know gpm and temp
rise needed. I have the small Bosch , its great. Is this a single
person use or family, with a family savings may be zero. I am seeing a
5 yr payback single use. Look also at Rinnai with remote thermostat,
Takagi makes a condensing unit of 94% efficiency if you have the $


Remember the large 190000 btu unit will likely double your gas
requirements, in winter when incomming water is coldest and
everything is competing for gas you wont get full btu without a great
supply, My incomming water can go to 36f, I still never set the unit
on high but you need to research everything or risk cold showers in
January.
