Amen, I don't answer calls if I don't know who it is, on the home or cell, if they are really trying to reach me they will leave a message but rarely does an unknown number leave one. I consistently get 3-4 calls to my cell every week from unknown numbers around the same time of day, never the same and they never leave a message.
Same with email, if I don't know who sent it I don't click on it, it goes to the junk folder and deleted.
Spoofing caller ID to a number from the same area code, and often on the same exchange as one's cell phone seems to have become the standard mode of operation for spam callers. Bottom line: If you call my cell from a number that's not in my contact list, you go to voicemail. 90-some percent of those calls do not leave a message.
They actually had it spoofed as dell's tech services, which I get calls from many times when there's a bios/vbios or software update that I have to install.
Production ones:
Mine is like the Ebay listing also like the one below:
What size is that
mod? i like it a lot but I basically only use that 25mm Aromamizer now.
Anyone know about tankless water heaters ?
We are looking at splurging on one since I am sure it's past time to replace out water heater (2003 and never been rinsed)
Lowes...Home Depot ?
I know a little, I've had one in the house we used to live in & done some work here & there, like adding recirculation valves & such for them at our old place... & I've done research for smaller ones since I plan to get one in the condo when ours dies, but it won't be for a while bc the tanked one we have is brand new... I like to call them "on-demand" instead of "tankless" bc they do have a
tank, which is needed for water to expand. Also, from what I know personally, Alex is right, you'll need to put a thicker gas line or, if you have electric a big line from the breaker (not sure what amperage but I know it's a big one). You'll need a very short, direct vent to the outside though I know they will have soon some smaller ones soon for condos/apts & such that don't require that & can use the one already there...
A couple of things to think about are... they are imo better, & work better overall the smaller your place is. They've been used in Europe for a long time now but we're designed for small places like condos and apartments bc the hot water takes so long to reach the fixtures esp. in a large house. We had these valves that you can get, that basically help that problem by recirculating the hot water back through the cold side & eventually back to the water heater, here's a diagram if that didn't make sense
This helps, with having hot water on demand & will be somewhat comparable to a tanked one if you do that, but it's expensive & a lot of work to add one to every fixture. The other thing is that it probably won't save you any money, the energy ratings are really deceptive but it's hard to compare the two types, especially if you have a decently efficient tanked one, bc the on-demand one ends up doing a lot more work & heating more water, & also its going to have to work harder & more often the bigger your home is.
So yeah, basically it's going to be a big job, you'll need either the thicker gas line in or the bigger line from breaker, & possibly have to move its physical location to accommodate for the very short direct vent it needs to outside, & that's not including the recirculation valves that, if you so choose, will need to be installed at every fixture. I'd say if you have a smaller house, then yeah, go for it but I would not get one with the purpose of saving money, I'd only get it to solve the problem of running out of hot water.
If you need to flush your tanked water heater it's pretty easy to do btw, I did mine when I first moved in here, you just hook up a hose on your sump pump to it's drain plug (on mine it's right above the burner) & let it pump out. I pumped it straight out the back door lol.
