Why? �The marginal efficiency should be the same in both cases.



assuming the tank runs out of water the shower ends
the tankless runs longer, possibly indefinetely........

I'd imagine that the big loser would be the poor schmuck who died

With a tankless someone could take a longer shower at the same
