It came from ACTEW and I insised on an Edwards cos they are made in WA (where atrocious water prevails) and have a rugged stainless steel tank.
My last two glass-lined steel tanks rusted out in about ten years each - so I felt the extra cost of stainless steel was warranted.
Plus while ACTEW was on the job, for an extra $200 they installed three solar panels instead of the normal two.
A 50% boost in output for $200 seemed like a very good deal as was having the plumber install a 'temperer' on the hot-water in-pipe so the thermostat could be raised and the temperer mixes very hot and cold water to (as it were) 'gear up' the tank's output of normally hot water to above its nominal capacity.
For Canberrra, glycol-filled panels (connected to heat-exchanger in the roof-top water tank) are essental to avoid frost-caused panel leaks.
