I have the Grundfos tankless pump and would recommend some caution before buying. We have replaced the capacitor once and now the pump seems to be dying a slow death (as I posted in a previous topic titled "pump problems"). All this and we've only lived in the house since September. We weren't the first to live here but the house was finished in 2005, with nobody living here full time. Upon talking to the folks at Reed's/Hawaii Catchment Company they informed me that the life expectancy is just not very long due to the fact that it starts and stops every time you turn on a faucet or flush a toilet. I will say that the noise isn't all that bad with ours being under the house right beneath our master bathroom, though your standards for noise may be different than ours. Since we are in the market to replace ours we are most likely looking to get a pressure tank system with at least a 20 gallon tank. Reeds has been good to deal with but the prices quoted seem to be quite high. Where else might someone recommend? Waterworks? There was somebody advertising in the latest Volcano Community Association Newsletter, has anybody used him?
