If you believe a Frenchman on matter plumbing you are stark raving
bonkers - they invented the Saniflo.

The only references I can find to electric water heating are the
good (ie bad) old immersion heater.


All electric water heaters are (at the point of delivery) 100%
efficient. All you can do after that is improve insulation etc to
hold that heat in but there is nothing more efficient than the bog
standard immersion heater.

As with all forms of peak rate electric heating it is still very
expensive - because electricity is expensive compared with other
fuels - but it is perfectly efficient.
