I'm looking at the possibility of replacing my hotwater tank and using an electric heat storage battery for hot water.  Anyone done this or have any advice?

    Is that just a fancy name for a bigger hot water tank?
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

    I have heard of one or two reliability issues, so I would suggest you research this further, and see what warranty is being offered on any unit you are considering. 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.
