Another consideration is water quality. I strongly recommend a water softener. Hard water will substantially increase the maintenance cycle on a flash heater. Also consider a sediment style filter on the outlet of the softener. When the softener resin bed fails (which it will eventually) copious amounts of resin will distribute throughout the piping in the house. A real pain to rectify. In my opinion, a retrofit is too much money the ROI is not good. New construction, relocation, etc. may favor a tankless system. Good luck with your project.

There are a number of issues with flash water heaters. First being cost of install, a larger gas line or a more robust electrical circuit will be required over a traditional heater. Flash heaters are expensive. This issue alone can eliminate any ROI over the life of a flash heater. Next issue is how much hot water will a flash heater supply? Depends on the temperature of the incoming water supply and the size of the flash heater. If you get water from a well that is 50 degrees and the requirement is 115 degree hot water you may need a much larger heater than a home that has an 80 degree water supply. The question to ask is how much temperature rise will my flash heater supply at a given flow rate. Know the average temperature of your water supply. With flash heaters, too much is better than not enough. In terms of "instant hot water", there is none, tankless being the key word as there is no stored hot water. As stated, the water lines in your home will still need to be purged of tepid water. A true "whole house" electric flash heater (6+ gpm with a 40 degree temp rise) will draw more than a 100 amps @ 240 vac. If your local electric rate is time of day or demand sensitive, use during peak hours will be relatively expensive. If at all possible, opt for a gas fired flash heater.

Hopefully Scotts reservoir filled too.

Gone too soon, RIP Delw.

AZGF's funding/promotion of AZ hunting on the WWW has exacerbated the elimination of OTC archery deer units and any leftover permits doled out after three annual draws all while filling coffers with NR money. Get over it. Hunt opportunity we had in the past was going away sooner rather than later by virtue of our exploding population coupled with the loss of hunting opportunity in other western states and elsewhere. IIRC, AZGF attempted to put archery deer to a draw in the early 2000's. Resistance was fierce at that time, the proposal was dropped. Don't have a crystal ball but expect OTC deer will be gone in 5 years. As stated by others, units that are still open for OTC deer will see a lot more pressure. The upside to this is NR's who have invested in hunting AZ and accumulated bonus points for other species will likely continue to do so keeping "outside" money flowing. However, NR's will be subject to the up to 10% rule and that will likely dampen their enthusiasm to continue pumping money into AZ.

Looks like a good time to me!

^^^^ This. Spent Sunday morning dredging up a few bass. The lake is very low. Went to Scott Reservoir Monday morning and it appears the lake is being drained. Lake was easily 10' down from three weeks ago. IMO, a fish kill is just beginning to happen. Many trout swimming on the surface, osprey were having a field day with herons pulling up the rear. Anybody know more on what's going on @ Scott reservoir?

What is disturbing is people supplying misinformation. Life long cattleman Bill Brake is an avid hunter in AZ and elsewhere. I know this to be true.

Maricopa County Flood Control has a decent site & map for local rainfall, radar, etc. Tons of rain gauges across the valley. https://alert.fcd.maricopa.gov/alert/Google/v3/gmap.html

Congrats to all you 2021 sheep tag holders. Sheep hunting is as good as it gets.

13B! Took 19 years to get it.

Social media is not for everyone. Acidic responses to posts/opinions are part of it.

Not much sport in kicking an old dog ........

Outstanding video. Thx for posting.

Hate to think how many times I've watched that movie. Such a classic.

Amanda Moor Without her site we'd likely have a Utah style "Sportsmen for Wildlife" organization whoring out a substantial number of AZ's best hunting permits. CWT.com has educated a great many outdoorsmen and women of all ages. Current events affecting AZ outdoors rarely escapes the vigilant members of this site. Backdoor deals usually get sniffed out and are brought to light right here on CWT. Good on you Amanda! Lamel Ellsworth, John Russo, Bob Hirsch, etc., too many to name!

Thanks guys, it was amazing to see 100# fish coming over the rail. Had sashimi last night, outstanding!

Boarded the Success 11 am Friday morning, got bait and motored south. The whole fleet was approximately 60 miles out. Saw a fair amount of whales and a few dolphin pods in the area where the fleet was fishing. Got my 1st fish Saturday afternoon, the fish taped 196# and weighed 184# gilled, gutted and bled at the processor. Fish was hooked on a balloon rig that suspended a mullet with a 20/0 circle hook. The reel was the boats 50W 2 speed Avet spooled with 130# braid and a 250# leader. Fish had power like I've never felt, ever! Probably took 30 minutes from strike to gaff. I was spent. Caught a 100# +/- fish that weighed 85# gilled, gutted and bled @ processor. Got the fish Sunday afternoon on a sinker rig using a sardine for bait. Rod/reel combo was my personal rig, a 2 speed Avet spooled with 80# mono and a 80# fluoro leader. That fish took me 30 minutes from strike to gaff. Again, I was spent. Missed a few strikes and broke off what was likely a very nice fish. Caught a 30# fish too. My friend caught his limit, the fish were 30 - 60#. My buddy and I were among the least experienced anglers on the boat, fellow anglers came well prepared and had a ton of experience. They caught a lot of fish and shared their knowledge, cool people who were fun to fish with. Learned a lot on this trip. Not sure of the actual fish count but I'd say there at least six 100# +/- bluefin caught including another balloon fish that went 150# IIRC. Cary put us on fish, he is relentless. Deckhands were good, food was a "B", good but not great. Great trip, go now!

Going on a 3 day this weekend. Hoping to get my 1st 100+ pounder.

Bobcat. I think I see dark spots on the front legs.

S & W 657 - 8"

Don't know what to say, but I will pray for you and your family.

I don't see a problem. Rotate the string stop to where it captures the string. Appears to simply be out of adjustment to me. String stop on my Hoyt loosens periodically and requires attention. String stops take substantial abuse. That being said, the bow is new to you and a trip to a quality pro shop is not a bad idea.

I believe the NPS position not allowing pack animals is arbitrary. The park is already trampled by bovines. If anything, NPS should be hiring a stock contractor to remove bison from the field for a multitude of reasons. Meat quality being #1 and it's always cool to see a pack train.

Personally, I would not touch this upcoming circus with a ten foot pole.
