Is it possible to use a tankless hot water heater with a hot tub?

Sassy OLD Broad asked:


The heater in our hot tub is not working. We would like to put in a natural gas dedicated hot water heater and wonder if a “tankless” model would work by just recycling the water? It would be a lot cheaper than buying a new hot tub heater. Plumbing not a problem…just don’t know if this would work. Thanks in advance.

Can a water heater be retrofitted with a drip pan after installation without removing the water heater unit?

MT asked:


I have heard of base-surround retrofit enclosures for a water heater but have not been able to find anyone that manufacturers or installs these types of systems. Anyone have any ideas of how to retrofit a water heater with a drip pan after it has been installed without removing the unit?

Pamela asked:


My hot water heater has a slow leak in it. The carpet is starting to get wet in front of the hot water heater. I live in a mobile home.
The hot water heater is only six or seven years old.

We like the rest of the world are trying to save money on our heat we live in CT. We leave for work at 5:30am and return around 7:00pm. We keep our house at 58 degree and when we come home, we are use a space heater for the few hours we are up rather than keep the whole house at 68 degrees.
