Bet you can't guess what I voted for :laughing:
New Water Heater Website!
Well, here is the new GREEN plumbing section.
Since I sold the plumbing business, I have been working on some other projects. The main one I am working on is a new water heater information website called http://waterheaterzone.com :thumbup:
It is still a work in progress, a lot of content to still publish.
One of the main subjects is super-efficient, eco-friendly, "green" water heaters. Such as tankless electric, tankless gas, solar water heaters and heat pump water heaters along with conventional storage tank water heaters.
Which type of water heater system is your preferred type of "green" water heater?
Solar? Tankless? Heat Pump Hybrids? other?

You forgot: Geo thermal heat pumps, heat recovery heat pump heaters
Forgot the bucket o water on the wood stove too...:laughing:You forgot: Geo thermal heat pumps, heat recovery heat pump heaters
Thanks Red, I forgot to add that section to my website. I'll add a "woodstove-bucket-fired" section ASAP.:laughing:Forgot the bucket o water on the wood stove too...:laughing:
Who the F#$K voted for tankless electric?!?! :blink:
I could not decide so I voted for them all. :laughing:
nice info site
you will be putting a lot of work in that site....
it looks good... except for the fact that I am not into
tankless heaters,
the only thing I would change is the
way the site is spelled out with water heater cutting
across and through the zone name.....
I had a hard time reading ZONE..... would rather just have it across the page....
a conventioinal RHEEM PRO water heater is the
best and most efficient for the money:thumbup::thumbup:

Well, so far Solar is winning by a landslide,:thumbsup:
and that was my vote as well.
One day, when I have the spare dough, I hope to install a solar water heating system on my house. Maybe solar hydronic radiant floor heating and solar electric power too, while I am at it. Live off the grid!:thumbup:
Seriously, I think solar energy is the way to go for the world. Renewable energy that is constantly bombarding our atmosphere and is relatively cheap and easy to harness. It looks expensive in the short-term setup, but as in investment, if you look at the longterm payback in pure energy, it is unbeatable.
and that was my vote as well.

Cool website, I like the new hybrid gas heaters. I've never seen a solar system out here. I don't know if we get enough sun year round to be worth the cost?
I love solar to, but it won't solve the world's energy problems all by itself. it's good for certain applications in certain geography though.Well, so far Solar is winning by a landslide,:thumbsup:

The more I look into Solar the more I am liking what I'm seeing, hopefully pricing for these systems will soon start becoming more affordable.
Eternal Hybrid Water Heater is the best one the market right now imo. Great unit, runs circles around a tankless unit.

I hope you dont mind if I put a link to your information
on my web site on my water heater page.....

I am going to a class tomorrow afternoon to checkout the eternal water heaters. Went to one Monday for Noritz tankless and am still not convinced they are right for our area with 80 degree temperature rise in the winter. Certain commercial applications may make sense but not the norm.Eternal Hybrid Water Heater is the best one the market right now imo. Great unit, runs circles around a tankless unit.
Will tell me why the Eternal is so much better. Isn't it basically a tankless with a 2 gallon reserve tank?

Pipe Rat,

Hope that helps. It's not really like a tankless. Similar, but not the same. It has a lot less computer components. I like the fact that it can put out what it would take 2 tankless units to do. They cost around 2000K so they are cheaper than tankless. Most new homes I do take at least 2 tankless, and I can get by with doing 1 eternal in the same situation. With the buffer tank you don't have the pressure drop you get with tankless. I can't say much about the reliability. My 1st one I put in was last summer. Had no problems yet(knock on wood). They come with a 20 year residential warrenty so I'd say the must be pretty reliable. If I build a new home, that what I'd put in my home.
