Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

So far, so good. I did notice it takes longer to get hot water to where you want it to go...and I had to crank the setting. We had it on the factory setting at first and even at the hottest setting the shower was still cold. I was going to have a meltdown when I figured out how to turn up the temp, now it's all better. happyslug - that thing is AMAZING looking. Mine looks more like this one (except with more pipes as there is hot water going to the furnace):



FBaggins - thanks for sharing your experience, especially with cleaning it out. I've been told that I should have a plumber come show me how to run the solution through the first time and then after that I can do it on my own but there's a 'kit' I'm supposed to buy every year. It would be nice to use vingear instead. Mine has a filter that has to be emptied every week at first, then every month for the first year.

So...I like it so far! We'll see how much it affects my gas bill when i get my first bill in a few weeks.
