Default This is what you need

Instantaneous water heaters don’t move water unless, it has a cert pump built into the unit. This has a timer You set for usage or you can leave it on full time. I’ve been using one for years from TN south.

We have learned to start the dishwasher or washing machine to clear the cold water in the pipes and "wake up" the tankless heater. We catch the first two gallons in a five gallon bucket and use it to flush toilets and water plants/grass.

Overall, I'm OK with it, but it's a bit annoying. I was always amazed when someone up north got one. I thought "that is going to take forever to warm up".

Also, you will need to set at least at 130 degrees. At the standard 125 the water will be too cold by the time it reaches you most remote point in your house.
