Ahh, that makes sense. We kind of take clean water for granted up here.

Also anyone that did put one in, don't forget the $300 tax credit.

I assume if I did that I can just cut the pipe, replace the dip tube, and then affix the new pipe section to the old using flux and a butane torch, right?

Yes, just make sure you clean the fittings and pipe with sand cloth first, if you're not sure how to solder, youtube it first. You'll need to take the cold side fitting out to get to the dip tube

As much as I don't like using sharkbites, they are a good option for the do it yourselfer

As a plumber, I don't hate sharkbites they do have places they're good for. As long as you're not burying it in a wall you're probably fine. I even used two in my place, the nice thing about them is that a valve will spin. I put an extra hose bib on my house that goes into the bathroom closet where I installed my tankless, I used two sharkbite valves (hot and cold) to the bib so that I can close the hot and spin it towards the wall, this keeps the kids from opening it or it accidentally opening and creating a cross connect. When I want hot water outside I can close the cold valve, spin the hot away from the wall and open it, now the garden hose can have hot water.
