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.

You can get tankless heaters that run on 40 amps, certainly on 50, which will give you a hot shower. <div>Even better if you can pre-warm the water 10, 15* with a tank in a warm basement.<br><div> <span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><div>Clarke Olsen</div><div>373 route 203</div><div>Spencertown, NY 12165 </div><div>USA</div><div>518-392-4640</div><div><a href="mailto:colsen@fairpoint.net">colsen@fairpoint.net</a></div></span></span></span></div></div> </body>
