Im thinking of installing a 22 or 24 litre per minute unit that is mountable
on the wall outside - I prefer these smaller boxes to the storage units
because they take up too much space (and I hear the continuous are cheaper
to run long term)

I have been offered one (a bosch? cant remember) with an electronically
controlled thermostat which I dont think I need, least of all I dont want to
pay to have installed.

Can anyone tell me the ins and outs of these continuous units and whether I
need know anything particular? And what they might cost to install? (I know
they are more expensive than the storage type)

thanks.

Gas or electric, you cant mount outside if it freezes ever, your
location? You should have a electronicaly controled unit unless you
dont care about the water being overhot then cool with total output.
Look at Takagi and Rinnai, Rinnai is the most efficient I have seen. How
cold does your incomming water get. Units are rated at Gpm and
temperature rise.

This is Turtle.

I don't know about others but the Rinnai is a pretty good piece of equipment to
install. The Gas model they have has a Flow rate of 8.5 Gallons per Minute and
can handle 3 showers at one time. Here is a link to the Rinnai units.

The word is Electric can work good but you need to own stock in the power
company to get a high water flow rate from a electric tankless set up. Also you
need to install a protection cover over your electric meter pan in case the
wheel comes loose.
