I got a free 10 year old tankless heater, old for sure, but very little use.
So far, I have disassembled everything and have the burner solenoids controllable and the ignition system working.
I have a few questions. As far as the burner goes, it was origianlly a NG burner, will LP work the same as long as I keep the PSI real low, at least for testing? I suppose I can always throw a regular burner in there if it doesnt work.
Second, the heat exchanger is 10 passes, about 6" long of 1/2 inch copper pipe through a series of about 75 1/32" thick copper plates. I guess time will tell if this is enough.
Has anyone else done this? Would seem to be an easy way to get some parts to find one on Craigslist.
