[Greenbuilding] Max Temp Storage Water Heaters+TemperatureSensors

[Carmine Vasile]

Clark: Not in NYC when their reservoirs fill with snow melt in the springtime and tap water approaches 35F. That's when a 2.25 gpm shower @ 105F needs a 70F rise; requiring about 70/3 = 23kW; a 50 amp heater yields about 12kW worth of hot water. Carmine

You can get tankless heaters that run on 40 amps, certainly on 50, which will give you a hot shower. Even better if you can pre-warm the water 10, 15* with a tank in a warm basement.
