THIS...

My electric off peak tank just took a dump.

I'm getting a GAS instantaneous heater to replace is... 10 year warranty on the core is pretty standard.
And I'm also getting a remote temp control panel. That way you can set the temp at 50C so you don't have to add cold water to get the right temp for a shower but you can also crank it up when you need hotter water.

..... If you think about it it's "logically" the best way to go.
