Do you have well water? Choosing a water heater starts with testing the supply and checking your household’s hot-water demand. Hardness, sediment, acidity and available pressure vary from well to well.
A tankless heater does not remove minerals or make unsuitable well water suitable for use. Scale can build up in tankless heat exchangers too, so water treatment and maintenance must follow the manufacturer’s requirements.
The three heaters below offer different capacities and energy sources. Before buying, have an installer check your water quality, inlet temperature, pump pressure and electrical or gas supply.
Here is a quick look at the three options.
