What are you guys doing for domestic hot water during the summer? Sidearm and plat exchangers are common, but they don’t maintain the temp in the tank. My sister had a new indoor boiler installed and she has a “indirect fired” water heater. So her whole house boiler which is a tankless model, runs hot water threw a coil in the tank. It’s also 309 stainless so no anode rod. Because it doesn’t have a fired heating element the unit should last longer.
So should I go for a tankless water heater for summer use? Just use tee fittings with valves to shut down and one or the other depending on the season?
Then I seen solar water heaters, which uses the the same coil in tank concept as the indirect fired tank, but has an electric or an LP burner built in. Anyone have experience with the solar water heaters?
