Quick question... our bathroom remodels are going (master is entering 4th week) and while we have no true high demand water needs, the tub we purchased is just large enough for my 50 gallon very non expensive GE water heater to peter out toward the end (not unexpected).
While we could afford a more expensive water heater than listed above, our budget is already severely overblown and I do not want to spend any more than need be for a decent quality heater with enough capacity to easily fill our tub (fill to overflow is 75 gallons on tub). I am targeting the above two 75 gallon water heaters based upon favorable responses here and of course pricing. That said, the Rheem is about $120 or so less expensive than the BW. From specifications is difficult to see much difference. Not that I am fixated on the $120 but just don't want to spend extra if it isn't warranted.
Is there any significant differences between these 2 heaters? Both are atmospheric vent which is what I have now. Thx
PS My current 50 gallon comes very close to filling the tub with hot enough fills though with winter approaching that may change.
