I am somewhat up in the air now about which way to go. An on demand system would allow me an unbroken, carefree shower at times but I would suffer from calcium buildup that will ultimately make it a paperweight. If I add a filter and a water softener it will help with this. All that said, nobody has got up and said, "I love my in demand water heater!"

The electric start tanked water heater is the other option but will take 15 minutes to be ready and most likely will require an on/off "Navy" shower in order to maintain a useful amount of hot water.

For the $300 I am just tempted to try the on demand system to see what happens and do the flushes and routine maintenance.

My laundry system is the WonderWash and the NinaSoft laundry spinner. This system is pretty awesome and with a couple of tricks and an occasional extended soak will handle all your laundry needs.

For what it's worth, we have the Precision Temp 500 tankless water heater, and we love it.

Maybe you're referring to the recipe I posted about.

Love it, smells nice, and does a great job. I use hot water only for sheets and dishcloths, and this removes all the usual coffee and other food stains. I liked this recipe because of the OxyClean, which I am a big fan of.

I did not add the orange oil, as the soap has a nice, fresh scent without it.

In our front loader, I use 2-3 tablespoons per load, depending on how large the load is.
