Added "on demand" water heater

Having only the six gallon water heater our family of five could not get the showers we all like so I added a tankless on demand heater. Some members of this forum gave me some input on this and "psusan" gave me a link to the subject that I read as well.

So here is the finished product after fabricating a bracket and adding the plumbing and hardware. The heater just hangs without tools and I screw on the hoses, I will probably convert to quick disconnects, but I was running out of time and I need to use this on Sunday.

    I did a test with our older unit and it worked well our last time out in Michigan. My DW loved it and that is what really matters. I was able to give all three kids showers one after the other with no issues. I bought this bigger unit for it's capacity and now the mounting is easier to set up as I will be able to take the unit out of the rubbermaid bin and just hang it on the bracket. attach the three hoses and it's off to the races. I will update as we use it more. From what I've read I may have to tweak the flow/temp settings and once dialed in I dont expect any issues. Thanks for your comment.

    I am interested to hear how it works out for you. i would like to add this feature but I haven't heard many who liked it after the install. No doubt, the issues will eventually get resolved and hope it works out for you.
