does this heater work for multiple items at once? Shower, sink, washer? thanks!

Yes it does, it modulates so it ramps up for its demand. It's a real workhorse you love it

The junio is really only appropriate for one tap like a shower. I would recommend upgrading to the standard size for multiple taps.

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.
1105198
yes - however you are limited to the volume of water being consumed vs capacity of heater
1105199
it can work if you have enough water pressure to push thru the heater...our hot water supply falls of when useing 2 water sources at once..but you still get hot water just not the high pressure when say doing dishes and someone takes a shower..hope it helps its a good heater so far

I would not purchase this item. Mine worked for about 3 showers then quit working.

Yes, it will supply 2 showers simultaneously, but depending on the temperature, it may reduce the flow rate to each shower. And it will absolutely fill a Jacuzzi with hot water. That's the beauty of a tankless hot water heater - you never run out of hot water.

No not EVERY shower. I have put in washer several times and it still works great

No. It has a hard time getting the water hot enough for a shower. And if someone runs a tap while you are showering it, the temp drops. I would go with the next model up at least. It's good for kitchen, laundry, etc.

I don't know. We have three people in house and my wife does laundry almost 24/7 (slightly exaggerated). Many times we've run laundry and a couple showers back to back and we've NEVER run out of hot water. MY water heater 10 years old. If you're going electric ..... this is my choice for water heaters.

It will handle mixed loads on the timer fine. Mine has been doing do for about 3 years, so far. You do not even need to use the second switch unless you want separate controls IF you fan allows that. I have the second switch some xenon lighting over the sink counter and fixture area and the second turn on the light over the shower and fan. I does take a few click to go from 10-15 minute for toilet action to 45 minutes (5-10 + 35-40 as it evaporates off the sides) for shower venting but it is so worth it to have a timer on the fan and have it running after you are gone but it will shut off by itself anyway.

Yes, I installed this on my shower and diverted between the normal shower head and a set of body sprayers. This device will allow you to switch between 2 functions. Also, it will allow you to run them both at the same time as well as individually.

this unit gets very hot but it will kick off a 30 amp breaker if you leave it running for more than 10 minutes.it is intended hand washing and fast hot water in short terms. great for a bar or small sink, bathroom sink.i think you need a 6 gallon water heater for a tub. this unit does heat the water by 40 % of what the ambient water is.

The water flow will remain the same, the temperature rise will decrease with increased flow. This unit is good for 2 gpm which should be good enough for two showers. I have mine hooked up for one shower and one kitchen connection.

actually it has 3 position one for each shower and sprayer or you can use both at the same time, i hope this will help you �

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.

Yes and with ease. A water heater draws many more amps when both elements are on and this switch works great for that...............

We have a normal washer and we wash 1 load from each of the three compartments. We wash clothes about once a week and there are only two of us. I can't imagine a situation that would call for splitting each of the 3 compartment into 2 loads - even if each was stuffed full and overflowing. When I bought the item I just wanted something to sort clothes the way we do it: light, dark, and special handling. This item works for us but "6 loads"?, I don't think so. I hope this is helpful.

The manufacturer requires three 40 amp double pole breakers for this water heater. Having said that, the true power consumption is quite low. To explain, I will give you my observations while the unit was in use. The unit has three 9 KW heaters. All the heaters do not operate at once. The first heater begins to modulate at low flow rates. If the flow increases and the first heater has reached maximum voltage then the second heater has voltage applied to maintain setpoint temperature. If the flow increases further then heater number three begins to operate as well. During my tests I never saw all elements on at the same time. As an example: a kitchen faucet, bath vanity, bath shower and a washing machine filling resulted in one element at full power and the second element was at half power. This was with the incoming water temperature was at 70 degrees F. Lower incoming water temperatures does degrade the efficiency of this unit. Remember this heater does not use any power until a faucet, shower ect. is opened for hot water. My heater has been in operation for two years with zero issues. In summary, if I needed a water heater today I would purchase the exact same thing.

I don't know the answer to that, but the shower, the dishwasher, the clothes washer and two sinks can run hot water simultaneously without diminishing the hot water. We are in the Pacific Northwest and the water heater has performed flawlessly through this last very cold and wet winter.

It should do that and more. It has 4 tubes in it. When we turned a sink on full blast it was only running one tube and slightly hitting a second one. We often have showers, sinks and washing machine going and have found we had plenty of hot water. We also like that when another water source is turned on and one of is like taking a shower, we don't get a big water temperature difference. In fact, we usually never notice it at all.
