I have two in my house where just the two of us live. Both are Rinnai (sp.?) rated at 6 gpm. The one in the back serves three bathrooms. The one on the other side serves the washer, kitchen, & garage half bath. They're both propane. I considered electric but after finding out one ate up 160 amps at full tilt, I chose gas. Mine are nine + years old. I have a circulating pump for the bathrooms to get hot water there faster. The only down side I've noticed is the delay in getting hot water, but it's a minor thing you get accustomed to. I will confess I've only flushed them once at three years after install. I have a good 80K grain water softening system and had the water tested before & after the softener. The hardness & ph are in good ranges. They serve us well & I'd make that choice again. I think though I should flush them again even though I don't seem to have any trouble with mineral deposits.
