Water heaters
Hello everyone,
Does anyone have any feedback for me on the Kuuma - Force10 all aluminium water heaters? They look good on paper. Are there any corrosion problems?
I am about to replace my 16 year old 40 liter unit in which the copper tank has failed. It is heated by a 1500W 240V electric element and/or a heating coil from engine jacket water. Seeing that my engine is a Volvo Penta which has a lot of aluminium components in the water system I would think that an aluminium hot water tank in the system would be better than a copper one. Having said that though, the copper one does not seem to have caused any problems.
Thanks in anticipation.
