Over 50 years of growing and I have never fimmed. With my shaky hands and poor eyesight I'd probably snip the whole thing and maybe my fingers.

hello and a very good day to you Sub

I just do it with my thumbnail. No cuts involved. Good day 2u2 old man

JMHO and my POV
I personally would think twice because from what I am understanding they need service because they get buildups from water minerals .
I know regular hw htrs collect shit too and need to be drained.
Usually if one is installing a hw htr it pays to change that drain valve to a brass one which make it easier to flush out .
I have seen them in electric and gas but never both in the same unit.
Got to be a big feed electric wise
I think they are not cheap

Insurance companies don't want to insure your home properly if your electric tank is older than 10 years. Last year I drained and replaced, temp control and elements, then found out my tank was 10 years old. I also found out something that I didn't know. Your bottom element will not turn on until the top element has reached the desired temp. So every time I used the meter to test, it was showing no power going to the lower element. I thought it was all bad and replaced temp control and element. Then found what I know now, the bottom element only comes on after the top has reached the set temp.

I think it might. What kind of shoes do you wear?

Used to be birkenstocks now days its crocs.......... Uh-oh must be da case.

 

[oldmaninbc]

hey there joker man the electrician , gots a question:

do I really need a washer on this?..

Never seen anything like that before?

Yep, I think you are. You are perhaps the butch type tho so it is sometimes hard to notice.

You got me

I wanted so much to be the pretty one..........

Hey Sub, when you make meat pies what kind mix of broth/milk do you use?

I usually make a gravy from the pan drippings from the meat that is in the pie. Sometimes I use milk to make the gravy, sometimes not.

My low water temp is pretty much why I ruled them out.

Another thing I found with some units was the limit on water temp settings to 140 degrees. I like My hot water between 145 and 150. Imagine the BTU's it takes to heat water from 55 to 150 in the space space of a tankless unit.

The higher your water source temp the more economical they become.

One cubic inch of water weighs 0.0361lbs and there are 231 cubic inches in a gallon, therefore a gallon weighs 8.3391lb.

It takes one (1) BTU to heat one (1) lb of water one (1)-degree Fahrenheit. The btu's required are therefore directly proportional to the temperature rise and easy to calculate.

ASSuming 55F incoming water and 180F desired temperature, the Delta Temperature is (180F -55F) =125F

(8.3391lb X 1 btu X 125 degrees Delta T) =667.4 btu

A tankless water heater is just a flash boiler that heats a stream of water as it passes through a heat exchanger so that no storage tank is required.

If the flow through it is ten (10) gallons per minute, then : (10 gal X 667 btu's) = 6670 btu's/minute to heat it to 180F.

Some of the technical stuff that comes out of your mouth JD just blows my mind. And to think you’re a stoner…

Thank goodness it was a joke, you had me going.

Hi big

 

[Putembk]

That’s what I do. They don’t always make 4 but usually do

That picture is a perfect example. I fim topped her and would have had a perfect canopy except the main stalk grew right through it.

What are you wearing right now?

I always use my trimming scissors.

I rent mine from Reliance now,$35 a month and it's their hassle and insurance is happy.

I created some of best inventions stoned but have to be straight to so much serious math.

Fortunately figuring heat rise is pretty straightforward and I've done it so many times over the years that I keep the important numbers in my head.

I use gas and my heater is from 1999...I'll bet there's a ton of Iron in the bottom of the tank...
