For North Texas, will this supply two showers running at the same time?Can this fill a jacuzzi tub with hot water?

North Texas? I'm not sure how that would impact anything? When we run two showers at the same time, you definitely feel the difference. It's possible, if you have low-flow showers. We like to run them full blast, so we generally avoid two at once. And 'yes' it would fill your hot tub (it creates hot water for an eternity). The only caveat is that it will take a while. I've owned this heater for (4) years now and still think it's great.

Yes, monetary the water temp will vary until it evens both demands for water. As for filling a jacuzzi tub, yes all day long. No problem.

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.

From my experience, I would say yes to the shower question. This is a bigger capacity Eltron unit with plenty of heating power. As for the Jacuzzi tub, I would also say yes. Because it's tankless, it is an endless supply of hot water ... no tank unit to empty and refill. I've been very happy with this unit in cold Indiana.

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 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.

Cold spells, yes, I've experienced it as well. I guess it doesn't want to overload or burn itself out in some way. We had to keep the flow low to get hot water. I don't think it can handle two showers. the inlet is small, and when you look inside, the valve inside makes it smaller. I got two years out of mine before it died.

We have ours set up outside as a shower and separate bath tub. My wife takes a relaxing bath EVERY night and, believe me, if it did not provide the temperature and volume of water she needs I would hear about it. We are both very satisfied with the product. . Slightly over a month into this new system and at 2 showers and 1 bath per day we used one tank 15lb tank of propane.

6.6 GPM should supply two showers with no problem assuming you have reasonable shower heads. Rinnai has a calculator that takes the number of bathrooms into consideration and the V65EP is rated to handle two bathrooms.

I'm using it with a 30 amp jacuzzi no problem. Clock is digital. Not too sure how many programs per day you can have... but I believe you only have about 7-10 different programs available... I'm using 5 for different days... but they could be all on the same day.

I installed this for use with an outdoor shower at a camp last summer. I'm a big fan. This summer I'm going to bring my old clawfoot tub out to camp and run a line to it as well; same plan as you! It heats the water as it flows through so there is really no limit to the number of gallons it can heat provided the propane doesn't run out. I have very cold well water, and even at full flow this unit will heat the water well beyond bathtub comfort temperature. And it comes with an adapter that allows you to use a garden hose as input.

Hello Kim, Thank you for your question. You've provided one key piece of information we need to answer the question, the incoming water temp. But we also need to know which hot water points of use that you might use at the same time, and the flow rates of each. Let's assume they are one shower at 1.5 GPM and one sink at 1 GPM. That's a total flow rate of 2.5 GPM. This heater provides a temp increase of 40F at 2.5 GPM. 45F + 40F = 85F. Therefore, the 10L is way too "small" of a tankless heater. We recommend the 16L which gives a 57F temp increase at 2.5 GPM. 45F + 57F = 102F which is slightly hot water for most people. Kind Regards, Ross GadgetsGo

Yes. I have it set at 112 degrees, and there is plenty of hot water. Depending on your shower head flow, you might have to increase your setting to a higher temperature. it s max is 140 degrees.

It's made to supply a sink and will work well for that, but with only a 10 gallon supply of hot water, your shower would have to be extremely short if you didn't want a cold shower. :-) It can't heat the water quickly enough to supply a shower, so you'd go through that 10 gallons of hot water and start getting tepid or cold water way too soon. A good use for it is to supply a sink where the sink is a long ways from your main hot water heater. Rather than running the hot water for a long time, waiting for it to finally deliver hot water, you have this right under the sink and you get instant hot water.

We like it. We never run out of hot water, but flow/pressure is low coming out of the water heater. It wouldn't work to have 2 people taking a shower at the same time in different bathrooms (we have a 2 bath house), but we don't really ever have need for that. we have used it 6 months and are satisfied with it.

Yes. However, the water pressure is compromised in both zones when you do this. I run mine one right after the other and it works great!

That depends on the temperature of the water going into the heater. If it's hot outside it would probably produce warm enough water for a comfortable bath, but it can only do so much with very cold water going into it. I run two inline, and that is plenty for my shower (and my dogs) in the winter (10-30 degrees F). If you can afford it, two in line is the way to go for something like a shower. One is good for hand washing/doing dishes in my opinion, but not enough when it comes to the volume of water rinsing off dogs requires.

Make sure you have set both "zones" for whatever time you want them to run. If it the same time they should both come on but there will be a reduction in water pressure. I suggest having one zone run, and the next run sequentially. Then you get the full force of your water pressure.

I use IT to warm up an outdoor jacuzzi and it works fine. Depending on the size of your hot tub it may take a while to heat it. Since this heater has no temperature control you have to watch it from time to time.

No idea......but work very good if you do a good electric connection! So you will have hot water shower.
