When these ten little girls grow up into the housewives of tomorrow, they will have the same views on hot water as today's housewives. They will need plenty—as cheap as possible and as fast as possible. Electric- hot water is cheap and fast-immersion heaters, properly lagged (and we do that for you) are basically 100% efficient because there is no wasted heat—and you are completely independent of a fire in warm weather. On-the-spot heaters are ideal for smaller amounts over your sink or basin.
