In the interest of closing this thread, we did choose drainpipe. They showed up when they said that they would, and they installed the system in one day. Our breaker has been off since then and we've never run out of, or low on, hot water. They installed our UV water sterilization system the same day and since then we've drank catchment water with no ill effects (disclaimer: our primary drinking water is still county water that we bring in from the free spigots in 5 gallon dispensers because purified catchment water is essentially distilled water devoid of any minerals and excessive consumption may have long term health problems. Our automatic ice maker uses the catchment water and I frequently drink catchment water because our fridge dispenses cold filtered water and it tastes good. End of disclaimer.)
