propane water heaters

[wpsalm]

Now that I,ve switched from parafin to gas been thinking about a nice hot shower one of the hot water on demand type might suit ....two ideas a small one rigged to heat the water in my hot water tank or a large one to simplfy my plumbing and avoid the hot water tank all together...any advice or ideas appreciated...

I will interested to hear replies to this one too.

Where I could see a problem is in maintaining water pressure through the heater.

I would probably make sure too that the pilot flame was systematically turned off.

I think most modern ones will be electronic ignition:no pilot flame.


Instant gas ones are v.common in Holland/Germany I've found....will try to spot a makers name next time I'm there.

They aren't safe for use underway in a sailing boat but offer an invaluable source of hot water when at anchor. Watch the consumption though!
