   The self-contained batch heater requires yard space with good sun exposure   
   and perhaps more attention to its appearance. I painted mine to match the   
   foundation and house. It looks like a doghouse when it's closed, not a   
   wierdo science experiment (got those too). Recovery time for the 40 gallon   
   tank is a day or two, so it's better for laundry than showers.
