    Any ideas why my Bostitch N66C siding nailer is double firing and has hair trigger?

    Tankless Recirculating Line or Thermal?

    30' of 3/4" pex holds just over a half gallon of water. A decent showerhead flows at least 2.5 gallons per minute. The water gets from the tank to the shower head in 12 seconds.

    kWh calculations.

    With two fridges, a freezer, and a big fish tank I don't think you need to worry about 10 watt devices. Seems pretty clear what is driving your consuption.
