What were your results. Also considering a POU water heater.
If what you’re hoping to accomplish is really “instant” hot water at your master shower (usually the furthest point) the moment you turn that hot water on, as many have stated, it ain’t going to happen.

We’re in our third home here in TV. First had a conventional 40 gal tank fired by natural gas.

Second home had a conventional 40 gal tank, electric.

In our current home, we have a natural gas fired tankless heater…..

I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that having that “instant” tankless heater makes ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE in the time it takes to get hot water to the furthest point in our home , the master shower.

It takes about 1 1/2 minutes of the hot water running before you can step into the shower……
