Bosch Mini tank water heater long-term review

I've had a chance to use it for months now and thought I'd give my overall opinion of this Bosch product.

Thanks for the review! Because of legionnaires disease, it’s generally recommended keeping water storage above 140°F and using something like a thermostatic mixing valve to reach the final temperature.

Thanks for the comment! I'd never heard that before! Good to learn something new even though I'm not going to increase my temperature setting because of it-acceptable risk as far as I'm concerned.

@@ThecoutchI’m guessing the size of the tank helps keep things fresh, too.
Might be good to flush it at the start of the season if you leave it sit for a while, though.

Just curious if you have seen any need for an expansion tank on the system to handle thermal expansion? My Suburban starts dripping when the water temp produces vaper pressure. Thanks

No I haven't had any issues with that on mine. At least so far.

My rv has propane system can I install without taking out the propane water heater?

@@smgtirelli4287 The reason that I bought this was so that I could get rid of the propane system-don't see a reason to have both.

Good to see your partner at the end!

He's still ticking-wish that I had some positive news to provide on him but the overall situation is unchanged. Thanks for the comment!!!!
