New tank less water heater!
NEVER ENDING HOT WATER!!!!!I have heard about this Rinnai-tank less water heater for some time now, thanks to Glenn Beck. I've been very interested in getting one, but knew they were pricey and didn't just want to get one to get one. Well, a couple of weeks ago, our water heater started a small leak at the top. We called a plumber, who was a very busy guy, and he came over to take a look. He said we would need a new heater, and started telling me some sizes and costs. I asked about the Rinnai, and he quickly said he new a guy in Billings who is certified to put them in and he would have them call me and come take a look. He wasn't able to come until a week later, and said my heater should be o.k. till then. When he came, he told me he would be able to put one in, but not until the next week (this week). He told me to make sure we turned the water off if we were going to be gone for more than two hours and if we were going out of town, just to be safe.
Saturday, we were busy getting ready for Sam's brother and family to come, when I realized the hot water was coming out cold. I told Sam, but he wasn't able to go look at it right away. As I was cleaning, a thought came to me (and I know it was the Holy Ghost) "Go check on the water heater" I asked Jackson to run down and see if there was a flood down there. He came running up and said there was a flood.! We ran downstairs, Sam shut the water off, and that was that. No hot water, on a Saturday I might add, and company two hours away. (there really wasn't a flood, just water spraying everywhere. If we had not checked, or had been gone, there would have been a flood)
Sunday morning I was up boiling water on all four burners, and we were able to take a splash bath in order to get to church. (I'm glad it was not a hair washing day). I was boiling water all day long, for washing dishes, etc.
Monday morning came, and the plumber was able to come at 9:00 and by 2:00 we had hot water again. Sammy was the first to take a shower, before the worker even left.
I am so thankful for hot water, and can't wait to fill my tub up without the hot turning cold.

Sorry about deleting the last comment, I made too many mistakes. Anyway, Wow what a story! I knew that you were getting the new Rinnai water heater but I had no idea that you were without water for 2 days. I am sooooo grateful for hot water! I hope you like it and next time I stay with you I am going to take a 2 hour shower, just to see if it really works. He he!
Congrats on being on the cutting edge of water heater technology. We thought about putting one in when we built our house, but we were only going to be here for 2 years, max. Ha ha. 3 1/2 years later. . . we are still okay with our 2 water heaters & we've yet to run out even with 3 showers going simultaneously. Glad you're all back to normal now. Losing the modern conveniences of life just really doesn't fly.
That is the coolest!!! I want one some day. Way to go green -
and thank heavens for hot water! Although here in AZ we are loving any type of COLD water we can get!
I didn't read all of this right now, but you did give me a good verbal story on the phone. I will be trying it out this weekend!
