Hello all. Would appreciate your thoughts regarding the following. Project is new construction. Master shower is ~8x8' with multiple heads and body sprays, all together requiring ~12GPM. Practically speaking, average shower usage will require ~8GPM, as all fixtures rarely will be on simultaneously.
Property is serviced by 9GPM well (with reserve tank), and primary hot water source for most fixtures will be 85g Marathon tank.
I am considering plumbing the master shower (as well as the two master bath faucets and roman tub filler) stand-alone, with a dedicated exterior-mount tankless (LP) unit.
I am concerned that an 8GPM shower will drain the Marathon quicker than I will be able to leave for work in the morning before screams from wife wake the neighborhood.
I am distrustful of the tankless units (which may or may not be able to provide hot H2O rises year-round in central Virginia), but can not think of any better solution. Bosch 250SXO or similar Rinnai would be contenders...
Any thoughts much appreciated!
