water heaters for "hot water storage"/mass
« on: March 25, 2013, 10:38:15 AM »
I was looking at buffer tanks and such, they seem to be insulated the same..ie 2" of foam wrapped with a shell...the buffer tanks have lots of holes for mounting pipes/lines  but the cost is HIgh for the buffer tanks......(80 gal 2600-00$ in these parts..

Are you looking for DHW also? look at the Turbomax. http://www.thermo2000.com.

I have one of these and it works great.
