I was wondering if anyone in a cold climate (Canada or likewise) has
used the tankless heaters. I was thinking of getting two to replace
an old hot water heater but want to be sure this will get the water
hot enough. The cold water temp from the tap here is 42F.


This is Turtle.

I called Glen Johnson who works at the warehouse at his house and ask him about
supply water temp. verses the out put temp. of the water about the Rinnai
Continuum type tankless hot water heater. He said at any temp water supply from
33ºF water the unit will supply 96ºF to 140ºF water all day long at 8.5 GPM.
Over the 140ºF may be a problem but just cut back to 2 shower at one time and go
back to 180ºF water out put .

Now just a not here. 140ºF water will blister a human or burn the hide off you.
also 180ºF water will kill most humans.
