shower heads</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Steve, Reuben & Richard: Last week I received a call from
the owner of a mult-head shower drawing 15 gpm of 105F water. He lives in
North Carolina and his 40 gallon electric tank-type water heater ran out of
hot water in a few minutes. I gave him my advice, install a tankless water
heater with a 50%-DHR system to halve the load by recycling heat wasted
down-the-drain. Solar is not an option. <BR> What would your
advice have been?<BR>Carmine<BR><BR>Date: Fri, 13 May 2011 13:40:29

Re: [Greenbuilding] low flow shower heads<BR><BR>Terminology:A navy shower =
turn on to wet skin; turn off to soap; turn on to rinse.A hollywood shower =
turn on full blast; start singing; soap; turn off a the end.<BR><BR>A
thermostatic value + volume control is way better than a navy shower
button because you can adjust the volume down to a level just to keep you warm
while soaping. This may convince more people to actually use less water
while showering than the pure "Navy shower" approach. The downside is
thermostatic valves and volume controls setups are
expensive.<BR><snipped>
