Tankless systems should not cost that much. I have one . If your town has consistent water pressure problems, don't get it as the water needs to go through the unit with enough of a flow for the heater to stay on. You do need a gas line to the house, too. I've never seen an electric tankless system but that doesn't mean they aren't out there.
I'm looking forward to seeing your dying experiment! The first batch of dyeing is impressive!
