I work for a propane company...I get a pretty good price.

Also to clarify on legionnaires. You can't kill it unless temps are above 140* which MOST tankless WH won't reach unless programmed to do so. Rheems will go to 140 but it is unobtainable with Colorado's water temps.

The new house I am buying comes standard with a tankless water heater. I have two sons (11 and 14) that like to shower, we will see how it works.

Legionnaires' disease is a type of pneumonia caused by bacteria. You usually get it by breathing in mist from water that contains the bacteria. The mist may come from hot tubs, showers, or air-conditioning units for large buildings. The bacteria don't spread from person to person.
Symptoms of Legionnaires' disease include high fever, chills, a cough, and sometimes muscle aches and headaches. Other types of pneumonia have similar symptoms. You will probably need a chest x-ray to diagnose the pneumonia. Lab tests can detect the specific bacteria that cause Legionnaires' disease.
Most people exposed to the bacteria do not become sick. You are more likely to get sick if you

• Are older than 50
• Smoke
• Have a chronic lung disease
• Have a weak immune system

Legionnaires' disease is serious and can be life-threatening. However, most people recover with antibiotics.

I have yet to hear anyone in Colorado ever getting legionnaires for a water heater.
Could happen if you had a long dead end hot line where the water sat in for a log time. As long as there is flow to keep water circulation and you keep the build up of scale from your water heater you will be fine.
