Many years ago in Asia I lived for an extended period with a gas on-demand water heater. Made in France, AIR. It worked fine; consumed the contents of a ~20-lb propane bottle every 2-4 weeks, with help from a gas stove. It had a pilot light which I lit before using the shower - Otherwise off. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
