Hello Brian,
I am running one of these older French models at home as well. Do you happen
to have a source for parts?
Thanks,

I have had a Bosch/Aqua Star 125 HX LP On Demand Water Heater installed and
working flawlessly in my home since February of 2007 with a hydro generator
that ignites the pilot and main burner when there is a demand for hot water.
With no demand for hot water, there is no standing pilot light and

i remember hearing there was one brand which had a tiny hydro generator,
operated by the flowing water, which was used to light the burner... yet, no
one mentioned them?

Hi Dick,
Following the Carter era oil embargo energy awareness, pilot lights were
reduced from ~700 BTU/h to ~ half. In a tank, that heat is put to
amazingly efficient use; not so with a tankless.
In places where they take energy usage seriously, the pilot light is lit
only when the tankles

As concerns standby loss, I can't speak to the others, but the Rinnai has a
simple on/off button on the front of the unit. A remote controller is available
which also provides the switch. It does take afew seconds for the unit to boot

You'll have to shop around; there are still some that use no power. As a
hard-core off-gridder, I hate seeing standby power use, and even worse a
freeze prevention heating element. A good old pilot light keeps them from
freezing too! Geez.

If its a Rinai, I measured one once that was 30 watts AC standby, and
jumped a bit higher when firing. It also needed pure sine.
The customer swapped it for a regular hot water tank.
Some Bosches and old Palomas, etc. had either a piezo ignition or pilot,
but took no power.
