It is Monday again, and time for the next installment in Thelma's series on My Favourite Things: Monday. The theme this week is bathrooms. Laugh all you want, but I'm going to choose the shower!
When people are away from home for a time, it is common to hear talk about them being so glad to sleep in their own bed again when they get home. I'm no different - I love my bed, but I am just (nearly?) as glad to be back to my own shower. Depending on where you go the showers may not be very clean, the water pressure is often questionable, the temperature may be too hot, too cold, or constantly fluctuating (and that fluctuation is particularly bad when it goes from scalding to frigid - been there, done that).
The shower in this house has always been quite wonderful, and it got even better about a year ago, when we had this tankless water heater installed.
We cannot run out of hot water ever again, as the water is heated on demand, and thus once hot water arrives at the faucet, a constant stream of hot water at a steady temperature will flow unendingly. Tankless water heaters are more energy efficient also, as they are not keeping a tank full of water warm/hot at all times. The downside to the tankless water heater is that you have to wait a little longer for hot water to arrive at the faucet, but once it is there - it is all good!
Hopefully the showers in our new house are as good as the ones in this house, and we are planning to have a tankless water installed there as well.
That's another edition of My Favourite Things: Monday - join the fun! What's a favourite item in your bathroom?

amen, amen!
i don't know why i am so lucky, but so far i've had FANTASTIC showers at all the places I have lived. I hope this never changes because I would be horribly grumpy all the time if i had to deal with low water pressure or something like that!!!!
