It happens with almost anything you can think of. 3G and 4G in phones, broadband internet speeds, small cars, fashion :), etc etc. It just isn't economical to have a huge amount of water be kept really hot all the time. Plus there are leaks, danger of the thing blowing, it taking up space, etc. Energy (natural gas, oil and electricity) is very cheap in the US at the moment so wasteful cheap technologies are the norm but it won't be that way for long. Won't happen overnight but if it happened in the rest of the world it will happen in the US too, it always does.

Agree the stock market will tank again and ALL water heaters will become tankless. BUY BUY WDRP!

I agree, tanked water heaters will still be most of the market for a long time.

But tankless is becoming more popular.

I know several of my friends have built new houses and installed tankless water heaters.

I also know of a few people who have remodeled and installed tankless water heaters.

The two main advantages they talk about are
1. lower utility bills
2. never running out of hot water, even if you are the 6th person to take a shower in the morning.

There is a huge potential, especially if it proves to be better in some way.

Their claim of being %20 to %25 more efficient could well do it.

There may be other advantages such as heating the water FASTER.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
