How many showers could run at once off of this unit?

We are only a two bath home, but do not have any reduction in pressure or temp..Very happy with unit.

I have run two showers at one, there is no change in the temp of the water, just the pressure. You can run the tap for hot and it does not rob the hot water from the shower, Temperature is maintained no matter what. My only problem is trying to get my 13 year old daughter to decrease her time in the shower from 30 min down to 15, Never runs out of hot water.

Depends on the flow rate and how hot one makes it-if you leave today's water saving devices intact with a moderate shower experience 3-6 showers at one time should be obtainable-the real beauty is in NOT running out of hot water!

I have mine set at 130F when the two showers are running at the same time I notice a minor drop in water pressure but not much.

I can run both of my showers at once without a problem, and I have two really high-flow shower heads, so if you have anything modern that's regulated down to 2.5gpm, I'm sure you could do at least three--probably at least four--without a problem. Also, my unit is set to 120 degrees, but you can set a dip-switch inside the unit to take it up to 140 degrees, which would allow for even more.

The volumes stated in the other answers appear correct. We can get 2 showers out of one fill up. I heat the water in a large pot with a high output burner, (30 - 50k BTUS). The water is ready to shower in about 5 minutes. This has made extended backwoods camping trips much more comfortable. I am critical of my camping gear and I highly recommend this shower unit. The burner can be used as a light-weight single burner.

yes, you can run the shower and jets at same time. i don't know how many gallons per min it uses.

I believe you can un 2 lines off the unit. It is best to take a long run and split it into two shorter runs.

No u cannot use any of them at same time. Rain showerhead has low pressure. It is tiltable

I have had my Navien tankless going on 3 years. It will support 3 shower at once without breaking a sweat. Most problems with tankless heaters are related to the installation. I had to upgrade my gas meter to handle the additional gas flow.(the gas company did this for free) The only drawback I have encountered is children will take a 2 hour shower if not monitored, running out of hot water limited this in the past.

No. It can supply one appliance at a time. During cold weather you need to turn down the flow rate for the water to get hot. This works well in a cabin not good for a house.

Hi Gail. I have this system in 2 showers. You can set the temp with the bigger lower knob. The smaller upper knob decided to send it to the hand held or the rain shower (that's how we have it set up). I'm not sure what you mean by saving water. Can you explain?

Yes, the built in shower head and the jets will run at same time, but in lower pressure. The seperate shower head cant run at same time.

There are four sets of valves. One for the overhead shower, a second for the top two body jets, a third for the bottom two body jets, and a fourth for the hand wand extension. You can use any single valve or any combination of the four valves simultaneously.

2 showers depending on the diameter of your water lines. 1/2 inch lines, probably only one shower and a sink.

As far 2 showers at the same time you will be able to tell . The water will feel cooler but not cold. In the winter time I turn mine up to 140. The thermostat only goes up to 130 , but in the book it shows you how to turn it up.

Yes, we have never had any issue running it with multiple items. I can fill the tub, run the washing machine while someone takes a shower. We have very good water pressure.

We installed in an efficiency apt. which has a shower and sink. But I guess it would depend on how long you took a shower or ran water in the sink.

it runs off the rain showerhead. You need to turn one off to use the other. It's attached to the wall with a suction cup. I've had mine about a month and really like it.

I can't compare but I am very satisfied with my Rinnai, I would highly recommend it. We have run 4 showers at a time with out any problem or as little as a single faucet.
