Artesian pressure system with tankless hot water. Will 2251 help increase spray? Any thoughts?

I have been using this shower head for years, I have them in my own house and have specified them for my client's for more than 30 years. I can not say that it will improve over what you are use to without knowing what you have, but can tell you I have never had complaints. It has a wonderful adjustable spray.

I do not think that this valve will give you the required flow while hot water is not being used. It is designed to work in series with the Watts circulating pump and as such I do not think that it will have any effect in a tank-less hot water system.

Carl G I would like to know why you needed an oil lubricated pump? Changing to wet rotor may be an issue because of the clearances...if it stops it might only a small particle...I once had some system "goo" hat stopped one...it took washing it out with diesel to get it back running. Both engineering submitals indicate the NRF22 is about 2GPM less than the LR20BF at 10ft head...so here's the thing...depending on what system youre installing it on...most systems were designed for 160f DHW or 180f HWH water so by putting this in (I dont know your system but I would do it) you'll have a slighting lower flow rate...in DHW who cares as its no big deal...BUT in a HWH system your control valves will open more and this is a seriously good thing in modulating valves. There will be a larger delta T so I'd also lower my boiler temperature by at least 20f assuming youve some form of condensing boiler...this will help ensure youre in condensing mode. Circulate fluid...not temperature and you'll save a lot of money. Make sure your side stream filter is clean and check it a few times in the first 1-2 months because the more flow means the more crud is likely to get back to your HEX...if there isnt one put a Y strainer in and add a "sock" on the screen for a month or 2). A possible problem is how many zones open/ resistance decreases across too many different circuits/ zones...too many and there wont be enough. The system I installed this on it is actually the primary circulator through a 2xwall HEX serving the HWH off the DHW system...it works so well Ive been promoting it/ its been installed on 3 systems in this last year (its not my J.O.B but I do design energy and conservation projects as is my profession). Last, make sure the expansion tank is on the pump inlet side/ the return (DHWR or HWHR)...these high speed pumps cannot handle even a minimal bit of cavitation. All the best

TC-848 won't deliver enough CFM for the touch-up gun. At 2.6 CFM, liquids wouldn't be atomized very well and it would likely just spatter and cause a mess. The spray gun requires 5 CFM to work well.

I had low to none water pressure and talk with Purenex tech. He told me that it was the pressure tank as I thought. Told me during our discussion that Amazon would be cheaper way to go. Ordered new tank,arrived before due date ,installed and back to great water production and pressure! BC San Diego,Ca

You definitely want to be able to adjust the working pressure, as different diffusers and reactors require varying pressures. I got tow of these through Amazon, both of which were defective and had to be returned. Wound up buying a custom unit from GLA. Maybe you'll have better luck with the Aquatek.

No problem at all. I have front loader and my tankless supplies it very well. This model has a very low minimum flow (.25 GPM) to start the heater and the washer will fill at about 2 GPM.

I highly recommend you upgrade both your and sprayer as well áa higher GPM pump. The small 2.2gpm pump that comes with unit requires a speed of no more than 3mph to supply adequate coverage. The wand has lots of angles in the handle which hold water in small pockets and will freeze and crack during the winter

Sorry for the late response on this! Yes, definitely it works great. I have a 3 bath house that has pressure set to about 80psi, and two showers can run at the same time, but it's about the same as when we had a tank (i.e. if it's winter you have two unhappy showerers.) But overall I'm stoked with the performance and propane savings over our old tank, which I will admit was pretty old (10+ years.) We'd never serviced the tank and I'm sure it was getting pretty well filled up with hard water deposit. I installed it myself, and going in cold with just a few youtube DIY videos under my belt I was able to patch in a few feet of black pipe and connect the unit with flex line, and also cut the ceiling and roof for the exhaust (about 7 feet of vertical run.) Hot water response is a few seconds slower than with the tank, so in our back master bath it takes about 20 seconds for the hot to arrive instead of about 16 seconds as before (YMMV based on distances.) Good luck either way you go.

I use a ortho sprayer and all you do is set the oz's etc. If you do it manual use 2-4 tbsp. per/Gal of water

I have not used it that way but it has a pressure regulator and it's easy to set the pressure you have. It's also rapid cycle so I would try it if I used a sprayer.

Our water tested hard and has a lot of iron content, so we used the space where the old hot water tank sat for a water softener. We have had the Tempra 20 plus for a year now with no problems.

I own one and I love it! First thing to check is the temperature adjustment knob under the unit is turned fully clockwise. The temperature rise can vary widely based upon that and other things, such as... the incoming water temperature, the flow in GPM (consider the flow all fixtures whixh are being used at the same time if more than one are... the higher the flow rate, the lower the water temperate rise. Also, if yours is a 240VAC unit and your actual voltage is less like 220VAC it won't warm water as much as 240 does. If your faucets, etc. are too far from the heater... some heat can be lost in the run of pipe, especially if it is in a cold area. Note that what causes thermal shutdowns to occur is overtemp, this can happen if the flow is restricted quite a bit, but high enough to activate the heater, and when the incoming water temp is very high. Also never try to connect this type of heater to water the is already preheated. I have some AE9.5 units as well and I know they have the thermal shutdown, I think all Bosch units do.

Yes, I'm running an oil fired boiler with 2 zone recirculators to hot water baseboards. I have 2 of the FocusPro5000 thermostats, one for each zone. They seem to be working ok, been installed about 2 months now. I am mad of the deceptive description of the AC and battery power option on the FocusPro 5000, you cannot power this thing with 24V AC with a 2-wire thermostat system.

I ditto the suggestion to visit mfg site. All sorts of ideas there to help you calculate your demand. I love this unit and have never been without hot water since installing

I am not sure what you are asking, it would depend on your water pressure, I have read a Q/A on another site, the person has 40 psi water pressure, and the answers says it is good enough pressure, and you should get 1.5 gal per minute with this faucet. Hope this helps.

Well, mine is a Brinkman Grand Gourmet 2250, so all I can do is guess. However, if you have a side burner, then there will be either two hoses coming from the regulator, as here, or the hose will split into two with a "Y," Mine was a "Y" but I successfully replaced it with one of these, with two hoses coming from the regulator. If your hose splits, or there are two of them, then this could be right for you. I think that the gas fittings are standard, especially as mine and yours are both Brinkman's, so all you have to do is decide whether you need one hose or two. Though, if you have not used the side burner for a while, you could leave it unattached. I sort of wish I had because it must be a bit blocked and not burning properly. I boiled some ribs for an hour or so on it and the pan was black with oily soot, that made a real mess cleaning it off. Before I use it next, I'm stripping that and making sure the airway is clear. Happy BBQ'ing!
