I have a model 1 Girrard tankless water heater and it exhibits the problem most people have talked about -- here in Florida in particular, the incoming water is generally very hot from the water source as it travels through the hose laying out in the sun. This causes the water heater to rapidly cycle on and off going from scalding to cold constantly. I understand this has been a known problem. I've tried all the "remedies" (run a lot of water through each outlet including the washer) and they replaced the circuit board once - and that's exactly how many times it gave a decent shower, then went right back to the old ways. The DW says it's time to fix this!
So the questions - if I purchase a new water heater:
1) does it have to be the same brand as the Girrard or could i go with Atwood or something else? (ie, are the sizes standard?)
2) I'm pretty much all thumbs, so does anyone have a GUESS as to installation costs?
Thanks in advance for your wisdom!
