making an on-demand water heater
I was looking at the nice little propane-powered units from Zodi
(zodi.com). They seem to be geared towards the camping/RV markets, which would make them good for boats, unless you're afraid of propane. Their most popular unit runs about 200$. This seems excessive for what must essentially be a 20 000 BTU burner, some copper tubing and a 12V electric pump. You wouldn't even need the pump, if you gravity-fed. Has anyone built one of these? I'm considering cannibalising an old camping-sized barbeque an welding up one of these bad boys.

Not much risk there. Only the plumbing needs to run inside. -m ---- Boatbuilder-friendly small sawmill in Ottawa/Gatineau region. |
