Sewer versus septic is the next question. There is no public sewer in Hansville. The whole community, including Driftwood Key and the waterfront around Point No Point, is on septic, much of it older systems on small lots where effluent pumps and tight drainfields are the norm. Hansville sits a little over an hour from Port Orchard, the longest drive we make inside Kitsap County from our base, close enough that same-day and next-day visits are the norm rather than the exception.
Why tankless water heater installation is a little different in Hansville
Many older Hansville gas lines were sized for a tank heater and a stove. A tankless burner needs much more, and we calculate the whole-house gas load and upsize the line as part of the installation rather than letting the unit starve.
The seasons leave their mark on Hansville plumbing. The most wind-exposed community in Kitsap. Storms off Admiralty Inlet and Hood Canal bring down trees and power lines, and outages here run longer than almost anywhere else in the county. The December 2022 freeze and January 2024 cold snap froze lines in cabins that had been shut up for the winter without being drained.
Local conditions that affect tankless water heater installation in Hansville
In Hansville specifically, one issue comes up more than most: Septic effluent pumps and float switches on small lots near sea level
Hansville homes with a pressure reducing valve still need a small expansion tank on a tankless system, and homes on wells need a sediment filter ahead of the unit. Both are included where your house calls for them.
Ask a Hansville homeowner what goes wrong with plumbing here and you will usually hear a version of this: Corroded galvanized and steel service lines in the salt air near the beaches
Winter water comes into Hansville homes cold, and that limits how many gallons per minute a tankless unit can bring to shower temperature. We size for the coldest month so two fixtures at once still work in January.
