Yes we do that all the time, which helps but eventually the tankless shuts off because the new “HE” appliances fill very slowly.
My personal favorite thing that happens with the tankless is the “cold water sandwich”. Say your wife takes a shower, and then 10 minutes or so later you decide to take one. You turn the water on and it’s warm right away. So you jump in and once the warm water in the pipe flushes out you get 15 seconds of cold while the unit is firing up. That is fun in the winter.
Why would the tankless shut off because you have a HE dishwasher? As long as you’re calling for hot water it should provide hot water.
Now, about that shower thingy, I’d make sure I was first into the shower.
Is there anything you like about your tankless heater?

*First, the little lever handle that you lift so the plug closes the sink broke. First plan was to replace that.
*Then decided it would be good to get a new sink, maybe with one hole so can have one tap for hot & cold.
*Then realized the sink is beige, and we should get a white sink because we were thinking of getting a new toilet, and the toilet is beige but you have way more choice if it is white.
*Then we went to the plumbing store to select a sink and toilet, oh and a new tap (single)
*Then MrsD100 saw a black granite kitchen sink that she really liked.
*Our current sink is stainless, and it is one that goes under the granite counter.
*Of course, she needs a new kitchen faucet to go with the new sink
*We might need a granite Guy to come and make the hole larger for the sink.
....and it all started from replacing a $10 stopper in the bathroom sink....probably end up costing $5000!

SOME UPDATES:
Finally got a neuro-surgeon to see me next Tuesday morning about my back. I've had two procedures with epidurals with absolutely no relief. I've had 12 weeks of therapy with no relief. Can't stand in one place for more than 5 minutes before I get so much pain in my back that I have to sit. Walking more than a few hundred feet and I have to stop and sit down. It would appear that my only hope for getting relief is some sort of surgery.
As for my son - I had a long conversation with my grandson and from what the doctors have said about his malignant tumor at the C level of his spine is that it is inoperable and they cannot give radiation doses because he had so much radiation when he had the brain tumor that his body cannot tolerate any more. The type of cancer he has is usually found in patients who have had high doses of radiation and/or chemotherapy. The tumor is encapsulated and was leaking slightly. The "pills" he is taking (chemo of some sort) is supposed to cause the tumor to encapsulate completely so it does not spread.
Only God knows how long he has - I just pray every night.

I saw a bit on This Old House not long ago with Rich at a plumbing show. The real expensive toilets these days are electric with sensors and automatic seats and built-in sprays for the nether regions.

Originally, we were going to go with a straight ranch style, but I needed some 'Me' space not in the basement, so we are adding some 2nd floor space instead.
Also adding 3rd garage and a 14x14 covered porch area with a fireplace.

The upstairs is a bedroom, full bath and some general purpose space, maybe sort of a reading area.
Not a full 2nd level, it does not change the house profile.

Tankless water heaters require a certain amount of pressure and time to turn on. The HE appliances put water in small amounts at a time that many times won’t trigger the unit to turn on, or if it does not until it’s ready to shut back off.
Is there anything I like? Well, yes. Five showers back to to back (sometimes three at once) with no issues. Wife can fill her soaking tub to capacity with no loss of temperature. I also like the fact that there isn’t 50 gallons of water sitting in a tank and they do save money on gas (while wasting a bit of water due to long wait times).

Story time….
Jmonroe length post warning:
So we are on vacation this week and originally planned to go to Antigua. We cancelled that for a host of reasons. So we are spending some time at the shore house. First with our niece and nephews for Halloween and then alone for a few days until the end of the week when are kids are off for the teacher convention.
Work has been insane for my wife and I. We typically don’t watch much news so we really discounted how bad the coastal storm was. Yesterday I had to be in a retail location because it’s one of the busiest days of the year heading into Halloween (all corp has to be in stores) and I was disconnected from everything.
Wife heads to the shore with 4 kids and a trunk full of groceries. Calls me frantic at 7:30 PM that our street is flooded and she isn’t sure she can make it. I tell her to stop immediately and open her door to see how high it was. She said almost to the door… I was like get the hell out of there! She did and headed to the Wawa on main road to wait. The kids certainly couldn’t walk the couple of blocks and she was too frazzled to drive home.
I was just leaving and on the way. I said call the Police and ask for help. They were completely awesome! Met her at Wawa, escorted her to a place to park and drove her and the 4 kids along with the groceries in a military truck to the house!
I got there a little after nine, parked about 4 blocks away and walked through the water which had begun to recede. What a night! Next time we will pay more attention to the weather! No excuse with today’s technology. Not a smart move on our part at all

I check the weather about 10 times a day, especially hourly....but I need to know whether I am playing outdoor tennis or not, and in the winter whether to wear boots or not! And the all news radio station has weather every 10 times for those with OCD about weather!

Whomever buys that place is a gracious host, with 30 COVERED parking spaces.
I would have no interest in that place, it's isolated, no one around, it would get pretty boring very quickly....unless it was a party place, which doesn't interest me much either.

Getting 5 showers back to back is very good, so I’d keep that thing. But the 2 plumbers I know that stopped installing them about 4 years ago said their customers could not get that volume of hot water from the units they installed. It could be the early ones couldn’t do that so good for you. However, I don’t plan to install a tankless unit when mine bites the dust which can’t be too long from now since it’s 7 years old.

or just don't be impatient and wait the 15 seconds for water to get there from the tank.

But, after finishing the basement ceiling, I put it out of my mind.
