Can two showers run simulteaneously in 70F temp?

I installed my Eco8 as a point of use water heater for a washing machine. I unless the supply water temp is 60 degrees or higher AND you are using very low flow shower heads I don't think the Eco 8 would keep up with the demand of two simultaneous showers. I would strongle advise a more powerful model.

this unit is very small, i live in the central valley of california. not very cold here, but the ground water temp. is not very cold, and the unit barely warmed the water for one shower. the answer to your question depends on where you live, but i would say "no".

Yes, shower or hand-held or any mix in between. Lower valve is pull on/push off and temp.

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.

Our experience is YES, the Stiebel Eltron Tempra 24 Plus will supply enough hot water to draw baths (or showers) for two people simultaneously. The unit is rated as a "whole house" tankless water heater for a two bedroom house or condo, but two simultaneously open hot water taps basically reaches the production capacity of the unit (about the same as a 40-50 gallon conventional tank water heater). There are many variables...the efficiency/production of the unit depends upon the temperature (coldness) of the incoming supply. If your tap water is at 35-40F, then the unit will not produce as much hot water flow as it would, if your incoming tap water supply was at 50F, as it takes the two little "boilers" inside the unit longer to heat very cold tap water to the set temperature and the "flow"/volume of hot water is "reduced" accordingly. The temperature that you set the unit at is also a factor...if the unit is set "low" at say 105F then the effect will be that you will seem to not have as much hot water, because you will not be mixing in very much cold water at your bath spigot or your shower head. We set our unit at 126F, because our dishwasher recommends an incoming hot water supply of 125F, and this works out well for us. We are just two people in a two bedroom house and this unit is sized perfectly for us and always delivers and supplies our hot water demands, plus the hot water flow is "endless", as the unit will continuously heat water to the set temperature as it flows through it...one can wash load after load of clothes in hot water, or a football team could take showers one after another and there would always be hot water. Plus, the unit very, very efficiently uses electricity to heat water, much more efficiently than a conventional tank-type electric water heater.

Yes it will. For 2 showers simultaneously set the water temp to around 130F or higher. Annual descaling with CLR or just plain vinegar will keep the heating elements clean and responsive to even small changes in water demand. Once scale builds up the water is not heated as well at high flow rates. If the water flow is very high then the heater may max out and is indicated by a flashing light on the front panel. I have run it with all taps open but was not able to max it out this way - maybe because I have a 1/2 in hot water line in the house.

My water heater receives a cold water supply of about 40 degrees, than produces HOT water @ about 140, depending on the distance between the heater and the shower (travel time) you should do fine.

If the shower is in direct sunlight and it's really hot outside (90 degrees or above) then maybe, but I haven't ever had that problem. Most of the time it's a great temperature, but I'm sure it's more of a personal preference than anything. Hope that helps!

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.

I found the same thing with both my units. That is, if I want the room temp. to be 78 degrees, I set the air cond. for 74 degrees. No big deal.

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.

It can do 2.5-3.0 gallons per minute and add 60F to the temperature of the water. 70F source water becomes a 130F hot water (2.5-3 gallons/minute). If you run the water at higher flow rates you get lower temperature output.Back to the question above regarding a 3700 sq ft home. If you have 1 person living there it probably will work fine. if you have a family of 5 or 6 all getting up around the same time taking 3 showers and using hot water for the sinks it will likely fail miserably. You are completely out of luck if you arre trying to do a bath, or running laundry or dishes at a busy "shower" time.

You can get below 50ºF. The problem is getting the differential between the two chambers to the level you want and to maintain that difference. I am striving for a 10ºF difference and the device is unable to maintain that - about 7-8F is about it.

I would suggest consulting a plumber. I have had two Titans in the past 14 year and both have worked well for the entire townhouse. Its only "shortfall" is the temperature drop-off if a second faucet is opened simultaneously. Here in South Florida the base water temperature is high enough that a "cold shower" is not cold by most standards.

yes with all factors involved at absolute constant. this means desired temp already achieved..etc. the numnerrd may be maniipulated so as not to include costly factors siuch as normal cyclings which includes relative energy vulping restart of the comptessor etc as opposed to a constant running devvice which has already rdached it s desired 5emp with no variance... not even opening door...at all.

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, but there is only one set temperature and s difference parameter. In your scenario, set the target temp to 34 and difference of 3. This will activate the cooling circuit from 37(or above)-> 34 and the heating circuit from 31(or below) -> 34

Depends where you are in the winter. You can expect a maximum temperature gain of about 30 or perhaps 40 degrees F. Remember, it may be called a "Summer Shower" for a reason. If you warm your water with a fire or stove, you can add it to cooler water and use the shower effectively. Hope this helps.
