What is the difference between the Paloma PH16FS and a Tank Type Water Heater?
A storage tank type water heater has limited supply of hot water. It will eventually run out of it and will force you to wait until the water gets heated up. A storage tank type water heater must have a standing pilot ALL THE TIME. How little the energy consumption may be per hour (on average 500 BTU/Hour), it will still add up to your monthly gas bill. The storage tank is big enough to fit a human body. Paloma’s tankless water heater is smaller than a suit case, slightly larger than a brief case. About Paloma Industries, Inc.
