Being the gas co guy, the subject was GAS water hotters.  The old 
ones had cast iron burners who last a long time.  New ones have 
crappy tin burners, idiot/goobermnt controls, and only last 1-10 
years.


I bought a new water heater and it would not run.  Had to get a new 
gas valve under warranty.   Then it sprung a leak within a year.  Got 
a second one under warranty.   The PT valve on that had to be 
replaced a couple of times. So far, other than that, its ok, but 
probably about to ccrap out.

The things are really good for on demand, point of use.  I have a very long run 
from the water cooker to the master bath.  For a few years I used a circulating 
pump, but that just made the cold water warm, and it still took a few minutes 
for reasonably hot water to show up.  Best solution would have be to locate on 
demand to that bathroom.  Turned out is was not worth the thousand bucks to 
make it happen.

I spent a weekend in a cabin with one.  Could have been a house, but location 
made it cabin.  Three bed, two bath.  Full size kitchen with all appliances.

The thing was undersized and you had to space usage.  Since it was all cold 
water flowing in, when another person used the water, you got a jolt.  Cold 
water use dropped pressure and toilets really made it unhappy to be showering.  
As long as nobody was showering, you had fairly good hot water in the kitchen.

GE had some good white papers on their use in such environments on their web 
site a couple of years ago.  Like a regular heat pump, ambient air temperature 
will have a direct effect on efficiency.  A lot of users north of the 
Mason-Dixon Line installed them in conditioned areas, thereby maintaining 
ambients in the 60-70 degree range.

Mine is in my garage, so there would be boatloads of heat available, and I 
would get the benefit of the cooling there as well.

2014-01-21 Thread Dieselhead

I am currently using gas fired tankless water heaters in both the motorhome
and at the ranch house. Now that I have them, I love them.

In each case, ignition is triggered by a piezeo electric turbine which
lights the burner as soon as water flow is sensed. No pilot light required.
It only makes hot water as you need it, and it makes as much as you need.
They never run out of hot water.

Initial cost is high, but convenience is higher. One of my pet peeves is to
finish a shower with cold water.  Tankless , that never happens.  With the
motorhome, a 10 gallon hot water tank type was about the limit size wise..
now.. the water source is the only limit.. Gas usage is minimized as well.

Overall.. very happy.


Motor home= short runs of pipe= minimal loss
Warm climate helps too.
tankless makes sense

Not sure of the size of your house, but I'm betting it is not a 5,000 
sq ft mcmansion.


large new houses with continuous circulating hot water to offset the 
tankless lag in cold climates; tankless makes no sense, other than 
the brag factor.

Mitch.


I think a guideline is the ratio of $ spent heating vs $ spent 
cooling.  In the south, where the big dollars are air conditioning, 
the hybrids  might make sense, if the cooling will be retained in the 
house.  In the north where the primary cost is heating, I think a 
std. water heater makes more sense, as the "waste" is heat used to 
heat the basement or house.


In a small house where the water using core is close, a tankless 
might make sense.  Particularly in warmer climates so the lag water 
might be used in place of wasted.

I can guarantee that pipe heat loss exceeds tank heat loss by a huge margin, 
unless you foam all the cavities with pipes in them, and I've never heard of 
anybody doing that. If the pipes and tank are in conditioned space and you're 
paying to heat the house, the loss is pretty much zero. If you're paying to cool 
the house, then the loss gets multiplied.


Heat pump water heaters are awesome, if you live in Florida or Dallas. Put the 
tank in conditioned space, pay for cooling, get free hot water.

yes, very erudite and stimulating.


I investigated them for business use.  For the throughput we needed, 
it would take 20 of them in series/parallel.  I talked directly with 
the engineers for the ones made  in USA.  What they suggested was 
using tankless to preheat water to a tank type.  There is a lag 
before you get hot water.   THis wastes water, and offsets the 
perceived savings.


What the home shows on the telly show that they do to offset this is 
to keep hot water circulating constantly through the whole 5-10,000

perceived savings, and probably more than negates it.


I ended up getting a 250,000 btu tank heater.  It only lasted a year. 
To replace it we found a huge  used commercial on demand heater from 
the local boiler company.  It is a 3 million BTU heater throttled 
back to a million BTU.  It keeps up with demand, and won't crap out 
in a year.  It is built like a tank. It is shut off when we dont need 
hot water.


Bottom line, for homes use, increased water use and/or increased 
energy use offset potential savings.  Add higher installed price, and 
it appears that a tank heater is better for the long haul.


The gas co technician that came to my daughter's house told her the 
best/most cost effective water heaters are the old ones and she 
should do everything she can to keep it going.  I put a new gas valve 
on it a couple years ago for her, and it is working fine now.  I 
think  it is about 40 years old.

Using the powers of logic , based on fact, I can see also it would totally

This in an interesting discussion. It somehow went from abortion to gay
marriage... [one wonders how gay marriage has abortion as an issue].

Lots of talk about gay marriage.. why has no news media covered gay
divorce?  That presents a special set of problems, doesn't it?

Isn't it nice to own Mercedes cars, that seldom break?  It gives us time to

It is my theory that the impetus behind the gay marriage laws are the attorneys.
The "traditional" marriage is on the way out, so to drum up business they rile
up the LBGT community, so they will have job justification in a couple years.

Well said, thank you.

Following that same line of fact based logic. The host organism for the new
life, in this case the woman's womb, supplys both food and safe environment
for this new life to develop.  Following that line of thought, post birth,
this same new life requires both food and safe environment supplied by same
mother [and father] for a number of years before that new life is self
supporting and self sustaining [ever feed a teen age kid ? ]

Logic, based on fact, would ask the question: What would our present
society do to that same mother [and father] if they fail to provide life
necessary elements to that same child post birth?  What penalty is then
imposed, one minute post birth, if the mother, or any other live person,
terminates that new life?

Then comes the question.  Which of the 58,000,000 abortions since Rowe v
Wade failed that same test?

Then comes the question: If those same 58,000,000 individuals were now
working taxpayers, what impact would that have on the Social Security Trust
Fund ?  Would their incomes and payments support the crushing national
debt? Pay for social programs? Contribute to the production of goods and
services to society?

All questions that require fact, thought, and logic to extrapolate. All
issues that are not brought to the discussion in the 5 second sound bite of
"Womans Rights".  Are we really an evolved civilization that somehow
justifies the wholesale death of 58,000,000 of our children, pre-birth?

We would be in worse situation.  Why would 15,000.000 persons quit the
task of hunting for a job today if there are plenty of jobs to pay for
social programs.  Another 58,000,000 would only add to the existing
15,000,000 and probably decrease the labor participation rate to 48%.
We need fewer persons in this country, not more.  Go put logic to
those realities.

Roger,

Thank you, point well made. However, to date, it still requires the male
contribution to make life happen. Frankly, I'm insulted that the "woman's
movement" has selectively excluded the male from the process.  If the child
is taken to term and born.. that same sperm donor is held fully responsible
for the child's care, safety, and feeding... for the next 18 yrs... why is
that same father excluded from the life/death decision of abortion?

If the woman has the right to cause death to the child while she is
provider of support in the womb, by that same logic, then should the father
have the right to terminate life after birth when he becomes provider of
support for the child?

Facts and logic would seem to dictate that unilateral inclusion of the
father, wouldn't it? Based on the current usage of judicial logic.

Respectfully,

Grant...

The kudos are nice.  But I suspect your suggestion that conspiracy or

of the kudos? i.e. conspiracy is not wise, most conspiracy is
unfounded, merely suggestive, and usually mocked as foolish, no?  Too

 All or at least men with lack of control / responsibility issues should all be 
given a vasectomy. That way you won't have all the unwanted cell clusters that 
result in abortions. 

Solution.

All boy children on the planet get vasectomies soon after birth. All girl 
children get tubes tied soon after birth.

No more abortion.

In 100 years, no man made global warming/cooling/climate chance.

This started as a reply just to Grant but I guess its becoming an omnibus, one 
very long reply instead of several repetitious ones.

Why does it have to be a father? What is it about a Y chromosome that makes a 
man required for a "family"?

I don't understand "gay rights" because I don't understand discrimination. I 
don't understand the fight over gay marriage because I don't see why anybody 
could think 2 people of the same sex can't be just as good a family as 2 people 
of different genders. Leave your religion at the door please because as soon as 
you step in with it I'll start pointing to all the horrible things done in the 
name of God. If your God is so great get priests to stop diddling children 
before you tell me same sex marriage is bad.

When people talk about the "good old days of the American family" they told 
talk about the beatings or shortened lifespan. They don't remember polio and 
measles and rubella or whooping cough. The halo where a kid went through the 
windshield.

Yes we have had open markets, look at the industrial revolution where the 
workers had no rights and people were ground down until they revolted. I agree 
that our current markets are surely overly restrictive but removing all the 
restrictions will just take us back to a world blackened by coal soot. To deny 
human nature (which is to rape the land and to hell with the consequences) is 
to deny thousands of years of history.

Hey, it wasn't that long after all. I do want to tip the hat to Grant, Craig 
and Larry for being civil with this, something that seems altogether to rare in 
the current public discourse.

Just a further thought.

Someone do the math on this please.  Presumed living population of USA via
last census is 312 million... reported abortions post Rowe v Wade is 58
million.

What, in real percentage, does that represent to the population?
To the work force?
To the number of males v female breeding pool?
etc etc etc.

It would be of interest to see those numbers, based on solid research, not
emotional sound bites, just once.
Anyone here enough of a research driven, number cruncher, scientist to dig

Quite eloquently put. It's pleasing to hear an argument from a gentleman who is 
learned, articulate, and wise. That is an uncommon combination of traits that 
this list has more of gathered in one forum than most, I suppose. 

About the only thing that I can think of that I would add, is that there are no 
such things as "unintended consequences" in politics (i.e.; law making), in my 
opinion. If the war on poverty broke up the AA family, you can bet you last 
dollar, someone had the foresight to plan it that way. 
You would think with the laws of averages, some of these "unintended 
consequences" would work in the common mans favor. 

They don't. 

Ever.

Yes, calling them "self-regenerating cells" is a logical mis-step and
leads to incorrect conclusions.

The truth is that a male human has 46 chromosomes in all of his cells,
except for sperm, which have 23. A female human has 46 chromosomes in all
of her cells except for ovum, which have 23. When a sperm and an ovum
unite, the combination again has 46 chromosomes and is a proper human
cell capable of dividing and continuing life. Note, however, that since it
got half of its chromosomes from its father and half of its chromosomes
from its mother, it is a TOTALLY NEW HUMAN.

Yes, a human embryo, the initial stages of a human life, is dependent upon
its mother for protection and nurishment. The mother's womb is designed to
provide the proper environment for a developing baby to live. It's not
unlike someone in a coma who is dependent upon a hospital and its
machines and supplies for a proper environment to live.

You are right, though, that unlawful taking of human life is murder.
The lawful taking of human life includes self-defense. NOTE: This is not
limited to firearms as mentioned in other threads, but also in the case
of where a pregnant woman's life is in danger. (Note: LIFE not HEALTH,
which poor Supreme Court decisions have conflated with anything a woman
and her doctor might consider to cause her mental anguish.) Terminating
an ectopic pregnancy where the embryo attached to fallopian tubes does
endanger a woman's life, for example, does meet the criterion.

This is symptomatic of the general decline and degredation of our
society, particularly in the black community. Margaret Sanger, the
founder of Planned Parenthood, openly planned to target black
communities for ethnic cleansing (there is another term for it, but I
cannot think of it right now). Planned Parenthood and "The War on
Poverty" have had a disastrous effect on the black community. In Martin
Luther King, Jr.'s time, blacks were very religious. He, afterall, was a
pastor. The communists tried to inflitrate his group and could not
because they were so dedicated to Christianity and the truly righteous
way of doing things.

In the years since "The War on Poverty" started [hundreds of billions, if
not trillions, of dollars have been spent on fighting poverty -- poverty
won] and the State stepped in to usurp the place of the Church, black
husbands have been driven from their homes and black children have been
left fatherless, with black "welfare queens" being the most conspicuous
result, who are paid to keep producing children without resident fathers
and husbands. This has fractured the black family and the black community
and has damaged the black church.

This is not how it should be, committing one crime, murdering children,
to keep other crimes down.

Enough for now. I need to let my blood pressure come back down.

BTW, if you want to hear about MLK, Jr. as a pastor, go to

I think you're falling victim to the faulty logic you claim to be against.


apples, oranges.

Maybe it has been warmer in your little corner, but there have been 
more days below zero and more cold records set this year than ever 
before.


The problem with all this is that temps have only been recorded in 
most of the US only for 100 years, and in some parts only for 300 or 
maybe 400 years, but its doubtful there are any meaningful records 
available for more than 200 years.


The whole point is that there is not enough recorded history to 
determine any special cause variation.  The weather has changed 
warmer and cooler, then warmer, then cooler since the creation.


Global warming under any name is pure BS.  THat has nothing to do 
with any politics.

Good points.  Both sides are slinging BS so fast you can't catch the light
of truth from either one..

Enough all ready.. Both sides fail to apply critical logic thinking.
ie These two issues:

Gun control = Removal of the basic instinct of self preservation through
self protection. Even the most avid "gun control nut" will fight back if
attacked, or want to for the rest of their life.  It's hard wired basic
human. Logical Critical Thinking would understand that.

Womans body = Fails to recognize that at inception of life, when the
egg/sperm become self regenerating cells, it is no longer "the woman's
body". It is another human unable to speak for it's self. Logical Critical
Thinking would understand that.

Both sides repeat this loss of Logical Critical Thinking at will, to what
ever purpose they see will serve them.

All lies have a kernel of truth... you can not tell a lie that does not
have some element of truth.. the test is.. at the end of the tale.. does
truth endure.

If it is the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, it is the truth at the
start.. and at the end.  And it's usually a short tale.

Lies , on the other hand, always fail that simple test...

All political parties.. I find guilty of BS spin.

Thanks for your attention, with all respect to any who don't agree with me,

I think you're falling victim to the faulty logic you claim to be against.

This winter has had its cold times but here in MA last week was in the 50s 
almost every day and it rained in buckets, same thing 3 weeks before. This has 
not been a particularly hard winter. We've had cold snaps but I don't consider 
1 week to be "prolonged cold".

Last winter was the warmest in 50 years. The year before that was also quite 
warm with almost no snow.
The right wingers using this winter to claim "global warming is a myth" 
apparently can't remember back 365 days.

I'll grant that theres an awful lot we don't know about the climate but we do 
know that global mean temperature has risen. Did we cause it? Don't know. Will 
it keep rising? Don't know. Is this swing long term or short term? Don't know. 
Is there anything we can do about it? Don't know.
Are we getting some terrible storms lately? Yup. Should we prepare for worse? 
Dammed right. Anybody who says otherwise to that last one is clearly gonna have 
their house washed out from under them. Then ask for a bailout...

Who can remember farther back than yesterday and look farther ahead than

The whole land between the lakes in NY is a wino's paradise.

The colder winters have no influence on wine, other than perhaps 
killing the vines of less cold hardy varieties.

The early winter this year probably froze more grapes, meaning 
eiswein would be more available this year.

andrew,

I guess you have not noticed the winters growing harder and longer. 
This winter started very early.  Did you notice the ship of fools?  A 
load of global warming true believers, activists, on the way to see 
how the antarctic eis is supposed to be receding.  Their ship was 
frozen in ice far from the supposed end of the ice, and the resultant 
"rescue" cost zillions of $$$ and involved many countries.  In the 
end, the ship was left, but the fools were lifted out by taxpayers' 
heliochopters.  In true communist fashion, they successfully passed 
the bill for their stupidity on to other people.

I say we shoulda left em there in the intense heat of their global 
warming theory.

Dr. Deming warned against confusing natural variation with special 
cause variation.  The world, except the japanese, and perhaps the 
Korean automakers, have ignored Deming for decades.  The albore gang 
is deaf and blind.  Our climate goes on as it has since the creation.

The winter is not abnormally cold.  It's just been an abnormally 
long time since we had one.  Siberia got all the cold last year, 
along with central Europe, same deal the polar vortex dipped down on 
that side.  
We used to get a cold blast at least once a winter every four or 
five years, this time it's been 20 years since the last one, and 30 
since one this cold.


California is having record heat and drought.

Average world temperature is indeed up quite a bit in terms of 
average, if not a huge amount in absolute temp, but there are far 
more high temperature records being broken every year than low 
temperature records, even in cold areas.


The ship that got caught in Antarctica was trapped by a blizzard 
that froze the lighter surface fresh water.  Once the wind stopped 
blowing the surface ice into the shore ice, it opened up and the 
ship is now on it's way home, unharmed.


Don't forget that the climate has not always been what it is in 
North America -- not all that long ago the tall grass pararie 
extended into Ohio, what is short grass like Nebraska was deep 
desert and most of the southwest was more like the deep Sahara with 
intervals of rain decades apart, not years.  Not all that much 
longer ago, the ice sheets covered most of north America.


Peter
and before that, the Mississippi valley was tropical and wet.  All 
changed because the dinosaurs drove suburbans.


That is exactly what i mean by Deming's warning about not confusing 
normal variation with special cause variation.


There is no special cause affecting climate.  It is all a hoax 
created by lying with statistics and fraudulent data and the grand 
hope of the self perceived ruling class to tax everything and control 
everyone.  The same morons who brought us oh!  Bummercare and 
characterize wallymert as evil, while the wallymertinsurance is 
vastly better than obummercare and vastly cheaper.

Nope  the true believers are still claiming global warming.  the ones 
with some small touch to reality realized how stupid global warming 
made the sound, so they change the religion to "climate change"


Fact is, that the climate went along for eons, and no manmade thing 
is big enough to have any effect.  Nature cleanses.  In time the 
global warming religion will be cleansed away too.


The future historians will wonder how people cold be so stupid as to 
believe in this religion of "global warming/climate change/whatever 
the next 10 renames are.
