Pellet water heater ?

[Pallet Pete]

Do any of you use a pellet water heater for your house hold needs ? I am having a Dickinson of a time trying to find one online ! Could you tell me what brand and what they operate like ? My wife and I are gone for 13 hours a day and would like to turn it off and on when needed as well as not be reliant on gas as we are now.

Thanks all
Pete

Been looking for the same thing without having to buy a boiler.

Far as I know there is no stand alone pellet water heater.

Yep... Unless its a boiler.

Have you looked at the tankless systems?

Ya the problem with those is our hard water. From what I can tell from people I know they tend to clog on hard water after a short time. That kinda annoys me because it would fit the bill perfect otherwise.

Knock on wood we have an LP on demand tank. We but it in 5 yrs ago and other than a clogged nozzle, no issues. We have very hard well water and use only a paper filter.

Sorry, not trying to steal the thread. What brand and model of water heater do you have?

 

[Pallet Pete]

I wonder how much it has to do with the water in the are where the buyer lives . It is tempting to try out !

Bosch and it is the first generation, standing pilot and medium sized unit. Love it. I came across a used one that they only ran 125 gallons of LP through it. I bought it as a back up.
