Bosch Aquastar Tankless Water Heaters 1600H and 1600P

Filed Under Bosch | Leave a Comment

The Bosch Aquastar Tankless Water Heater 1600P and 1600H are among the smallest Bosch units at this time. The difference between them is in the ignitation -- the H has a hydro-igniter and according to the specs at Amazon it might qualify for a tax credit, though Bosch doesn't claim that on its website.

These hot water heaters are meant for only one use at a time, so you need to be willing to live with that for them to be a good candidate for you.
