Would this unit be able to support a 4 bedroom three bath home?

Depends on your cold water temperature. My well water is 60 degree year round and when set to 120 the maximum flow was about 5 gal/min, which is good for 2 showers. If you live in Miami or Houston where ground water is warm (70) then it can support 3 showers otherwise it's comfortable with 2. The specs are 180,000 BTU/hr and efficiency 80%. From my calculation my unit performs close to specs. It doesn't have enough capacity to run a shower and fill a tub at the same time. If 2 showers are running and someone opens a faucet, hot water pressure drops significantly. For your 4 bed 3 bath I'd recommend installing 2 unit 150,000 BTU/hr each or go with a jumbo 300,000 unit.

I am using this unit to supply water to a kitchen, one bathroom, and a washing machine. It is rare that it has to provide hot water to more than one device at a time. It works great for me, but I doubt it will be able to provide enough hot water flow to supply multiple bathrooms and kitchen all at the same time. You believe you can adjust the water temperature higher than 120 degrees, but that would slow down the flow of water through the system.

We have it in our 4 bedroom three bath house. We occasional take 2 showers at once or wash cloths while taking shower and have not notice problem with lack of hot water.The only draw back is it takes awhile for hot water to make it to kitchen sink etc. I would recommend for energy savings and the space saving aspect of it and you never run out of hot.

Yes, in certain conditions. One being how old are your children? for teens, probably not; for young children, probably a little while. For empty nesters, definitely yes. Because of its draw, in Florida, it requires a larger diameter distribution piping, minimum of 1" internal diameter. But for a 3 bedroom 2 bath home, it is perfect.

Most likely not. It's not that big of a unit. Please read all reviews on this product before considering it.

I'm sure it would hold the weight, might not look good because of the difference in height of the two side units compared to the center unit. Your base has to fit on the center unit which is 36.5 inches.

I thikn that might work out OK for you. It comes in 4 pieces that seem to have some flexibility to them if you put the tallest piece under say a 1" foundation. It might be a little bit of a bump, but you could also raise the 2nd piece slightly to make it flatter.

If you mean could it handle the weight, then absolutely. I use mine as a kitchen island, and it is very sturdy.

Probably, but I wouldn't. I believe it is meant to be a free standing unit. It may be too heavy unless you have very good anchors and are attaching to studs.

I would suggest you confirm it can handle the weight of your stack. If it can, the feet of the bottom unit should be able to be secured in the holes in the corner bracket. Keep in mind, however, that this only has two wheels that swivel so it is going to turn on a dime. It will need some maneuvering room. Otherwise, it should work just fine in my opinion.

No, it is not big enough and would make it top heavy n wobbly. You need at least a 4 ft base.

Do not use 4x4s unless your height is no more than 4 ft off the ground. a unit of this size will require support columns like a schedule 40 pipe 4 in in diameter or more embedded in 3 by 3 ft concrete footings at least.

If your system has one outlet duct supplying the entire house then it will likely work. I have four separate zones and use it only on a large MBR where it seems effective. I suspect their literature will give you the max. sq. ft. one unit can handle

The unit is pretty versatile so I'm sure you could make 2 4×4 units if you wanted to

Yes it can. However, the 4x8 might be over kill. You can probably get by with the 3x6, just remember to buy more drywall anchors. Neither set provides enough in my opinion.

Just measured. Max width it will support is 2 3/4".So you should be all set :-)

I don't believe so without using some sort of adaptor. You would probably need to use a pole mounting flange on top of the 4x4 post.

It will support one bathroom, which includes tub, sink. I don't think is designed for entire house.

I think probably yes. The unit is very sturdy. i had a problem with the wheels and had to leave them off.

From what I've seen with the unit- it should work fine to suppliment a room of this size.
