Water Heater Installation Near Waterview Golf Club

Waterview Golf Club is a public 18-hole course in Rowlett, and sources agree on the main facts: it opened in 2000 and plays to par 72. The longest tees measure about 7,191 yards in most sources, and 7,087 in one. Dividing 7,191 by the 1,760 yards in a mile gives 4.09 miles from tee to green, end to end. The black tees carry a course rating of 74.5 and a slope of 133. One source says the course was laid out over flat pasture with about 15 acres of lakes.

On the designer the sources disagree. Two credit David Graham, one credits Gary Panks, and one lists four names. We name nobody. Several near-identical filler pages in the same search results gave a different par and architect, and we ignored them.

A replacement is the time to add what the original install may have lacked. Check for an expansion tank where a pressure-reducing valve or backflow device has closed the plumbing, a drain pan with its own drain line where a leak could reach a ceiling, a reachable drain valve for flushing, and a relief valve pipe that runs to a safe spot. A tank with code updates or attic access is estimated at $2,200 to $3,800, against $1,400 to $2,900 for a swap with nothing to add. The expansion tank page explains the arithmetic behind the first.

The course's lakes are scenery and irrigation. What comes out of your tap is Rowlett's supply from the North Texas Municipal Water District, hard enough to leave scale: 183 mg/L in a January 2015 table, which is 10.7 grains per gallon. A heater beside the course has been working in that water since 2000, and the flushing guide explains how to clear what it leaves.

Replacing a heater from the early 2000s reopens the fuel question. A hybrid is estimated at $3,000 to $5,500 and a tankless conversion at $3,800 to $7,500, and the DOE says tankless saves 24% to 34% for homes using 41 gallons a day or less. Which suits a house depends on the gas line and the space, as the tankless page shows.
