Who has a tankless hot water heater?

I kind of like having a tank in the house, because if there's some sort of major emergency it's a good water supply for a couple of days.

Then run your cold water supply through a recirculating tank that doesn't cost $400 a year to heat.

How interesting.

Wait. What does that mean? What does a recirculating tank do?

Same thing a water heater does except it doesn't heat. Holds water in-line for use and storage but you use it so it doesn't get nasty.

Buy a waterheater, plumb into cold water line and cut the power cord off.

That's brilliant.
