How loud is a Noritz tankless water heater?
May 15th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Tankless Water Heater
My plumber has warned me that the motor on the Noritz tankless water heater makes a noise when it’s running. Can anyone compare the volume to a common household item? Is it similar to the fan on a computer? An electric can opener? I’m not super-sensitive to noise, but I don’t want it to sound [...]

I’ve checked my gas line to the heater, no problem there. I’ve drained and refilled it. Hot water is getting to my sinks downstairs, the [...]

Is it possible to use a tankless hot water heater with a hot tub?
April 25th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Hot Water Heater
The heater in our hot tub is not working. We would like to put in a natural gas dedicated hot water heater and wonder if a "tankless" model would work by just recycling the water? It would be a lot cheaper than buying a new hot tub heater. Plumbing not a problem…just don’t know if [...]
