Re: [A/S] Funky Smelling Water

[Tuna <rctowns@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There are a couple of 110 ac powered under-the-sink 'instant' hot-water
heaters... i've got one in the burro, and one in the rv - neither of which
have shower/bath facilities, where i only need small amounts of hot water
for cooking/shaving/cleaning...

the 'flash' or 'tankless' or 'demand' water-heaters which operate on natural
gas or propane are really good - i put one in my home a couple of years ago,
and haven't regretted it. Bit pricey up front, but far more efficient than
heating and re-heating water electrically in a tank, and not using it.
Here's a post i submitted to the VAC list a little while ago:

This topic seems to come up about once a year... i'm completely sold on the
tankless concept after installing a takagi gas 'flash' (tankless) heater in
my home. this time around, no one's mentioned one salient issue: many (most)
propane-fired tankless heaters are 'not recommended for marine or rv
installation'... clearly a liability concern for manufacturers, and probably
has little correspondence to real-world problems. however, the PrecisionTemp
RV heater is specifically designed for RV/Marine applications. A couple of
people on the list have installed them, but haven't chimed in yet... anyhow,
here's the link: http://www.precisiontemp.com/RV-500Page1.html  : and their
comparison to conventional rv hot water tank systems:
