They actually installed it in the wrong place for our use. They placed it=20 adjacent to the baptistery, which means there is about 100 feet of 1/2"=20 copper pipe to the kitchen. It takes a _long_ time (probably about a minute= =20 or two) for the water to get hot in the kitchen. It should have been placed= =20 near the kitchen with a long pipe to the baptistery. Then it would take a=20 couple of minutes to get hot at the baptistery, but since it probably takes= =20 an hour or two to fill the baptistery that wouldn't be a problem. -- Bob Ammerman RAm Systems --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
