How do I choose a gas fired water heater for my house?
Ran across some web sites promoting tankless water heaters. they look pretty good, but I don't know anything about them.

I'm just guessing here, but this sounds like what we in the UK would call a "multipoint" heater, (which is a combi boiler without the ability to heat the radiators).
This would consist of a gas burner that heats the incoming water instantaneously when flow is detected by a switch. The advantage is that they are cheap and reliable. The disadvantage is that without any storage, the flow rate is limited to the power of the burner and there is a slight delay as the burner ignites and warms up the gubbins. They typically gives enough flow for a good shower, but not enough to fill a bath very quickly, or run two outlets at once.
Of course, they might be something completely different.

I replaced mine 3 years ago and just bought the cheapest name brand (GE or rheem?) for approx $100. Home depot said they are basically the same, you are just paying for extended warranty on the more expensive models. I have the anode rod in mine and there is almost no rust when I flush it even after
3 years.
Yes, I believe that's it.

I located two models on Lowes website: no brand names $475.00 and $1,075.00. Unfortunately, I'm getting water in front of the warer heater. Si I need to do simething now.

Plumbing sales guy at HD told me the same thing.
