Can i use this in the Caribbean where it is always hot, for shower only

Yes, it should work very well in the Caribbean. The only time the water temp isn't the greatest is in the winter when the temp of the ground water goes into the low 60s. Otherwise, it's perfect.

Might need the bigger size for a shower. Check the specks for flow. I remember seeing a chart that detailed the flow rate by unit.

Sure, the warmer the water going in, the less it has to get heated so make a nice shower.

Laurell, I've got one set up supplying a shower in Florida, and it works very well.

Yes, if you have the power available it would work very well. It has a sensor to check incoming water temp and a selection knob to set the target output temperature. Mine tends to run hot but it stays consistent with higher or lower flows of water which wasn't the case with other brand units I've had in the past which would scald if the flow was too slow. Should be great for a shower.

Yes, provided the power is 125Vt A/C or you can see if they have a unit that matches the power requirements as used in your area. I am very happy with my installed unit and has cut down my use of water as I had to leave the water run a long time before the water would get hot!

That's incorrect. I take hot showers all the time. The filter on your kitchen faucet, ie PUR, is not for hot water. The shower filter is made for showers and there for all temperatures.

I don't see why not unless it is a very shallow bath. Added to the heat-retaining properties of metal, the water might get too warm and encourage excess growth of bacteria and other nasties. Conversely, fully heating a concrete bath in a Northern climate is a bit out of their range.

I use it in Haiti and is very warm here but I use it occasionally and then I take it off.

I used it in Jamaica for a week and never had an issue. I rinsed it off after each ocean visit.

It should be safe to use in the shower as long as it is not being charged from an outlet.

it all depends on the sea water temperature. i have been using it in Rio de Janeiro from spring to autumn. in the summer it gets too hot.

Yes, but it must be dry. Not suitable for wet or damp situations. Check your local building code also to be sure your installation is compliant.

Not really. I installed a new outdoor shower in my courtyard to rinse off after coming from the beach or out of our pool. It made more sense to run electric service to he courtyard than hot water from my existing heater.

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".

The package does not say it cannot, but it also does not say safe for a damp location. I would look for one that says it is safe for shower location

It gets hot fast. Too hot to shower when on full on. Even during cold weather. Seems much hotter than specs.

They say it is only for outside use but I have mine in my cabin inside and yes it works great for a shower and sink, you will need to adjust it some but it easy to do otherwise you will have extremely hot water

I am not sure. I brought it as a gift for my daughter. It work well in the Caribbean

You can. However, it wasn't specifically designed for the high humidity environment. Though while running the shower I doubt any condensation can build up to present a danger... However, you might want to look into a bathroom wall heater:

Yes it can. You can't mix the settings though. For instance, head shower and hand shower cannot be used simultaneously. But when using any setting individually you have ability to change the strength of the flow

Take a plastic bottle of water, place it where you plan to stage the shower. At random points of the day sample the heat of the water - that's how hot the shower will be. You get out of it what you put into it - if you have partialy sunny area, you'll get partially warm water.
