[QUOTE="Samayanaya, post: 1150802, member: 1474"] I have the Paloma 26l/m and it runs the whole house. I was told by the plumber that this one had thicker pipes 3/4 inch vs most others 1/2 inch pipes. This makes a difference with hot water delivery time and pressure at the tap. We connected both stove and geyser to gas and my electric bill dropped by R2000 per month. That is great but I buy 1x 48kg bottle every 2 months. One of those are R1600. So R800 per month for gas - I have still saved R1200 per month which is a win BUT Had I installed a heat pump for hot water, I could run that off solar full time and not have to buy a 48kg every 2 months, instead it would probably go 6 to 12 months per bottle. My solar setup is a 5kVA victron and 5kWh battery. Panels would have come later this year but I have instead opted to move to the Netherlands - Its actually cheaper to move here :D [/QUOTE]
