Somewhat of a hijack here. I've been noticing a sulfur or rotten egg smell in only one shower in my house and only after it has just been used. It doesn't come from any other sink toilet or shower. I have a tankless hot water heater but don't know if that would have anything to do with it. Does anyone know what would cause this and why in only one place?

Gas only

As many have said, gas only. Also, you want what is called a condensing gas model. The older style are actually less efficient than tank models. And yes, you may need to increase the capacity of the natural gas feed.

I still have a tank, Tankless have a higher fail rate and I never run out of hot water.
Funny you mention that about the dryer lint and the outside heaters, I've seen that many times.

Installed a gas Takagi,T-K3, in my house, in 2008. Love it. Does require dedicated 3/4 in gas line. Never had problems yet. This unit does require electricity for the spark. In case of power outage, I installed a "Battery Backup", found in the computer section @ Wally World.
I have a Bosch(from Lowe's) electric unit @ the camp. Just 2 of us, 4+ gal./min has been plenty, since 2005. Requires dedicated circuit. No problems yet. Never going back to tank.

Going to add one to the outdoor kitchen, only using for a sink, any you would recommend?
ETA: Will be electric.

I would go with an under-counter model that sits in the cabinet below the sink. Something like this: LINK

Hot Water Heater
If the water is hot, why do you need to heat it?

Always worth repeating. Plumbers should add 10% to each water heater sold to someone needing a "hot water heater." Call it a fool tax.

We have the Rinnai RL 94 gas water heater and couldn't be happier. Will never own anything but tankless again. Gas is way more efficient than electric.
