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.


Go to Amazon and look at "Bosch GL2.5 Ariston 2-1/2-Gallon Point-of-Use
Indoor Electric Mini-Tank Water Heater". Or you could just install one of
the automatic circulation pumps to make sure that hot water is always there
when needed but to make this effective, the hot water line really needs to
be insulated.
