I do not know the feeling of others when they have to make a comparison between the same parts and then, they have to determine. For me, I hate it a little bit because it makes my brain get stuck to make up my mind. However, life always obligates me to have to compare…
For example, I have to decide to buy an RV or a tiny house, investing in the real estate or participating in the stock market.
And this time, I have to make my comparison between the tankless water heater for tiny house/RV vs standard water heater. Fortunately, one of my friends gives me some advice to win this game! If you were like me, then you should read my post instantly.
About the tankless water heater
Tankless water heaters are known as the on-demand water heaters which use the strong power of the burners to heat water quickly. This is because it runs through a heat exchanger and moves it to the faucets or the shower without keeping in a tank. To run a tankless water heater, you should supply electricity or gas.
Kinds of the tankless water heater
There are 2 major kinds of tankless water heaters that you can see on the current market. They are small units and the multiple ones.
Small units are particularly installed at the point of use or near this point. Bigger ones can connect to the entire RV. The smaller items may diminish heat losses through piping. This also helps the standby losses from a tank.
Multiple units, on the other hand, are suitable for the whole RV. These could be helpful for providing a frequent water heater in a bathroom or other places which are far away from the main water heater.
How does the tankless water heater work?
As I mentioned earlier, a tankless water heater will work when we add the electricity or natural gas and the hot water will be moved directly to the showers, sinks, or faucets. We do not need to hold the hot water in a storage tank.
When the hot water tap is opened, cold water enters via a pie to the unit. Hence, the tankless water heaters bring a frequent supply of hot water.
Users do not have to wait for the hot water in the storage tank to use the hot water. Nevertheless, the water output of the tankless water heater is limited in the flow rate.
In general, the tankless water heater offers hot water
