Can two people take separate shower at the same time?

Generally, YES. The Tempra 24+ units have a constant temperature output, according to whatever temperature the unit is set for. So, if the incoming tap water is extremely cold, and multiple hot water taps are open inside the house, then the volume of hot water output may be reduced in order to maintain the constant set temperature at all of those open taps. But, the Tempra 24+ has two in-line electric instant boilers and is rated as a sufficient whole house water heater for a 2-bedroom house. So, if nothing other two hot water taps at showers are open at the same time, and the incoming supply is NOT extremely cold, then there should be enough hot water for two showers at the same time. An ordinary tank type water heater could usually start supplying two showers at the same time, but the heated water in the tanks may run out before the showers are completed; that doesn't happen with the Tempra 24+...if you have enough hot water at the beginning with the Tempra 24+ for two (or three) simultaneously open taps, then you will have that same output continuously and indefinitely.

Yes! I also run my dishwasher when someone is showering. This tankless is a powerhorse! I haven't had any problems with hot water or running out. The temperature is always consistent.

Absolutely with the 24 Plus. I have never been without plenty of hot water. Use the water saving heads and you most likely could take 4 showers at once. I can't say enough about this unit.Tim -

That really depends on the flow rates of your shower heads and the incoming water temperature. I am on a well with fairly cold input water and have fairly low flow Grohe Movario shower heads but I think two showers might be pressing it. I have two water heaters and one is an 80 gallon tank so my Stiebel 24 does not do all my showers. Other than that it has been in for just over two years and has been great!

Yes, but depending on the wattage of your unit, and the temperature you set, the pressure may go down. My children take showers at the same time while doing laundry and have no problems.

Yeah, these units are made for family usage, so you can do that and/or run hot water in the kitchen at the same time. Take a look on their site for a chart of these tankless water heaters to see which one best matches your family size and household.

Yes. We move them to each side if two people are showering but put both straight down/out if only one person is showering. This is an awesome shower head!

Yes, you can use both rain shower feature and the handheld paddle at the same time. The are a couple flow options as well when using both. We are happy with our purchase.

Yes, you can use another head. I have a hand shower hooked to mine. It's a universal size.

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.

Not both tubs running at the same time, but yes. We have 5 in our family and two shower heads in the shower and it does very well.

yes, both heads can be used at the same time. They both cannot be shut off at the same time. You can use one or the other, or both,

No you can't have water from both at the same time. Mine was installed last week and it works great and looks good. I love the size of this one much better than the smaller one I had.

Yes it would be fine for you. I have a two story house at 2300 sq feet with 3 full bathrooms and we love it. We can have two showers going at the same time with no problems. Just make sure your gas line feeding the takagi is big enough. I ran a 1" line to supply it. Also make sure you use a water softener/filter if you have hard or dirty water. Good luck!! Oh yea, you also need to be sure tour gas meter can handle the takagi along with everything else running gas in the house at the same time. I was lucky, my meter can handle over 350,000 BTU's

My husband has this shower set up and he says he can not use both shower heads at the same time. The system is set up to use only one at a time.
82221
yes, you could, but be aware that both sides heat at the same time. They do not heat individually.

Sort of. If you run one device at a time (just he head or just the handheld) it is unnoticeable. However, if I run both at the same time there is a noticeable drop in pressure to each one. The overall total water flow is still fine. I suppose the limitation might be in my shower control faucet but I don't know if those are made with flow limiters or not.I am very pleased with the unit.

Yep - use the existing one. I think it's to combat the 'derp' factor of someone buying this and not actually having a shower. *shrug*

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.

yes device fiter the water in shower head and receiver.The idea of the device keep stead water flow.If you are standing in large bucket you coulduse same water for multiple shower .

Not sure. My shower is separate from the bath tub, so in my case it was shower only. It might depend on how your plumbing and pipes are configured.

Both shower heads work at the same time. You can set each one to a different spray pattern such as rain shower on one and pulsing on the other. But you do have to have both shower heads working at the same time. You can also point each head in a different position if you like.
