I saw a thread a while back about tankless water heaters.

How about this?. I only want to heat the hot water for one sink, in
the bathroom. I haven't the patience to wait until it's hot so I
always wash my hands or my face with cold water.

I don't mind wasting money for once, though I plan to install it myself.

So what sort of electric tankless water heater would you recommend for
one sink?. I hope it won't need more than 15 amps.

How many gallons a minute of hot water does a bathroom sink use?

Favorite brands?


(The shower/tub in the same bathroom, the other 1.5 baths, the washing
machine, the kitchen sink, and the laundry sink can just wait until the
water gets hot, like they do now. My half-bath/powder room off the
front hall is directly above the water heater, and it is such a pleasure
to have hot water almost immediately.)

Thanks.

I'd use a mini-tank heater. 110 volt, 15 amp, 3 gallon

Or this 4 gallon unit:

1500 watts, just like a tea kettle
