The size of unit should be based on projected use in GPM at peak usage and water inlet low temperature.... IOW, how much use at one time @ what temp.

$798 for 27KW - bear in mind, this is a huge supply of hot water... that's right 27KW! which means whilst it is on max draw, your meter will be spinning at cobra speeds!

It is funny, I never thought about the 'trickle' issue. I never use hot water in a 'trickle' mode, but, alas he is right. The difference between trickle and low flow is hardly noticeable.
