10) Install DIY tank-type gas water heater and avoid the whole headache
How-to-install-tank-type-gas-water-heater.html
"The genius of tankless is not that they save money or energy. Because they don't.
The genius is marketing that targets folks who believe tankless save money and energy."

Tankless flow rates
Flow Rate
Check manual for minimum flow rate to activate tankless.
Average faucet 2 gal per minute flow rate/ Average tub 2.5 gal per minute flow rate
1/2 gallon per minute means: Faucet must fill quart in 30 seconds and gallon in 60 seconds
3/4 gallon per minute means: Faucet must fill quart in 20 seconds and gallon in 80 seconds
Crossover and Low water pressure can reduce flow rates
Higher thermostat setting can reduce hot water flow when more cold water is added at faucet to moderate temperature.
Promise of unlimited hot water not consistant with water conservation or energy savings.
