You would use a gas water heater for that since they heat the water much quicker...
I used to live in a 200 units building with a central heater for all the hot water and we never ran out and the water was hot as fuck, just need to use the appropriate material for the job ๐
Indeed.
I guess you could also use an oversized heat pump in theory. With a setup like this, recirculation and/or wastewater heat recuperation would also need to be looked into. Either would significantly reduce the cost of running this.
But purely resistive heating without any form of recuperation would need impractical amounts of power.
