Storage Water Heater Shower Duration, Mixing & Recovery Planner

Model hot/cold mixing, usable shower litres, heater recovery, consecutive showers and an entered manufacturer First Hour Rating.

Will this storage water heater cover the planned showers?

Tank litres are not shower litres. First calculate the hot-water fraction at the entered temperatures, add conservative heat recovery, simulate the exact shower sequence and compare the separate manufacturer FHR input.

Method

Mixing uses a temperature balance. Recovery uses water heat capacity, entered kW and an editable efficiency assumption. FHR remains a label value and is never inferred from tank size.

Important limitation

Stratification, thermostat cycling, pipe loss, simultaneous taps, local anti-scald rules and installation supply can change actual performance. A qualified installer must verify them.
