Bullet Express Review

A local water heateris fairly simple concept not much different than the water heaters you see in the basement or garage. Of course, the idea of having a water heater sitting locally where you need it is more of a paradigm shift than anything.

A point of use water heating system is really more efficient when you think about it. A standard 2 bedroom house has 2 bathrooms and 1 kitchen, where most of the water usage is cold water. However, there is a significant amount of energy spent in heating a large tank 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for Hot Water that only may be needed for 3-4 hours per day (I am being generous).

So, for about 140 hours a week, the average household is heating water that just sits in the tank waiting to be used. Convenience is the name of the game here. Having hot water at a moment's notice is something we have all grow up thinking and unless we get stuck with cold water in the shower, we really never think about what that really means.

Installing a water of this type is fairly simple and takes about an hour. Basically you need to:

1. Run a cold inlet water into the system 2. Run hot water exit to your faucet 3. Plug it into an outlet that does not have a significant load and adjust the temperature 4. Depending on location, you may also want to run a pipe from the pressure relief valve into the drain so that any water that exits this pipe is removed without damage to cabinets etc. A drip pan may also be added for extra leakage protection

In summary an point of use system can be a good choice in providing a point of use hot water to replace or supplement your current system.

Be smart about your energy use, can you use a under Sink Water heater for your point of use needs? For those bathrooms that take a long time to heat up, a local water heater may be a better way to save water and money!
