Looks like a great idea. My problem is that my costs to replace the drywall I would have to tear out to get to my drainage would be far more than I would ever recover. This Spring I will be installing a "desuperheater" to my heat pump. The waste heat that is blown to the outside air at the compressor will be used to heat water that is recirculated to the hot water heater. As such, in North Carolina where we cool 9 months out of the year, my hot water costs during the Summer should be little or nothing. Since the old tank hot water heaters are the biggest energy hog in the house, I expect to recover the cost of installing this thing in less than two years.
