Just had to use a Chuck trick of mentioning piece a boating hardware to make
this on topic.

Has anyone ditched their hot water tank(s) in their house and replaced
it/them with a tankless water heater?

Just curious as our two 50 gallon hot water tanks are 15 years and at/near
their useful life. Replacing them does not make sense with the advances in
tankless water heater technology. Many of these tankless water heaters are
also eligible for a $300 tax credit.

I am looking at the Bosch 2400E (natural gas) which can supply 2 showers
simultaneously, or so the specs say.

Any tankless water heater users out there?

As an English major, I haven't a clue as to how these devices supply a
steady stream of hot water. Please explain.

Yeah, I know how they work. But I don't see how they supply a steady
stream of hot water, especially for an active household with several
appliances running and someone in the tub or shower.

Of course they have limitations. Unit size determines how many, and how
voluminous the stream(s) a particular unit will support.

That's because you're an English major.

It's easy in theory: 100,000 btu heater Vs a regular tank WH with 30,000
btu heater.

They heat water "on demand" . Cold water passes through a gas fired burned,
with the Bosch 2400E capable of supplying 6 gpm of hot water, reportedly
capable of satisfying 2 showers simultaneously. Electronic ignition. No
standing pilot. Vents to the outside. No water being heater when none is
being called for, vs. a hot water tank which always keep the water hot, even
when there is no demand for the hot water.

These units have been used in Europe for years.

Yeah. There's a real obvious relationship between satellite signals
and a hot water tank.
