    Very pleased - was a fairly early adopter so I've had them about 5-6 years now. Had one service call out to top up the glycol which was free, and a nut was tightened! No secondary heat source for DHW from April to September, unless we get a few bad days. Good winter days can produce great results. In a soft water area so have heat spill set to 85c which has only operated for about 30 hours in the 6 years. Temp would regularly get to 65c - 70c in the summer.

    Have three teenage kids and my son seems to be showering twice a day (morning/after sports) so between the five of us, I'm certainly getting value out of it.

    I've no hard stats if that's what your asking though..
