All electric heating devices including those mentioned above use large amounts of electrical power for extended periods of time. While it would not be difficult to power these loads with an inverter, virtually any reasonably sized (and priced) battery bank will not be capable of providing the necessary power.

Natural corrosive properties of all waters will eventually cause the unit to fail. The time it takes to have the heater fail depends on the minerals in the water and how hard the water is. We partially soften the water to reduce corrosion in the water mains, hot water heaters and in household plumbing. See similar questions...

Yes, if they have an input BTU capacity of 200,000 per hour. RSA 157-A:6.III RSA 157-A:8 RSA 157-A:10 See similar questions...

Off-peak water heaters will use 4.8 kWh x 4 hours for 270 litres, which works out to 19.2 kWh of energy for same amount of water. See similar questions...

There's no stored energy in this case, but the G3-60 can instantly feed back 10 to 4 kW; corresponding to 50% to 40% of the power required to sustain a continuous shower at 2.25 gpm. Similarly, an instant gas water heater's load will be reduced by 34,130 to 13,652 Btu/hr (0.341 to 0.137 therms). Without GFX, a tankless electric water heater demands 83 to 41.5 amps at 240 volts to sustain a 20 to 10 kW shower stream. With GFX, AC current demand drops by 41.5 to 24. See similar questions...

According to the Oregon Government Solar Energy Home page, "A solar water heater in Eastern Oregon on average collects 8 percent more energy than one in Florida. That's because our ground water is considerably colder than in Florida, which makes the system run more efficiently. In addition, our long summer days add up to more energy savings. The solar water heating industry has matured a lot over the past 15 years: systems today must be OG-300 certified to receive an Oregon tax credit. See similar questions...

Quantum has the ability to deliver voluminous amounts of hot water. However it must be remembered that it is a storage system, and, if drained of hot water in a short period, it will need approximately 3 to 4 hours to recover. No!! Quantum is a sealed unit like a refrigerator and has silver soldered copper joints. This differs from, for instance, a car air-conditioning system with its hose connections and vibrations.

The hot water that comes from the 600 ft. well is about 160? F. If the water were allowed to come to the surface, the temperature would be 135?. See similar questions...

With an 80? rise in temperature (40? in, 120?F out), the water heater will supply 2.7 gallons per minute. See similar questions...

Some of the utilities are placed prior to the pour, and others are done afterwards. Services access cavities need to be cut before the pour. Just use a saw, utility knife or hot knife to cut through the blocks. Then place the service pipes (or sleeves) in the openings. The gaps should be foamed to prevent concrete leakage during the pour. Wiring and Plumbing Once the pour is complete cavities for wiring and plumbing can be cut into the surface using a router, chainsaw, or hot knife. See similar questions...

Answer: Space heaters should be acceptable provided they are permanently affixed, properly vented to the exterior or have an oxygen depletion device, and are in accordance with local codes. Also, the appraiser must make a determination whether or not the space heater provides sufficient heat to the room(s) where it is being used. See similar questions...

Yes. A GSHP can be a combination heating/cooling and hot water heating system. You can change from one mode to another with a simple flick on your indoor thermostat. Using a desuperheater, some GSHPs can save you up to 50% on your water-heating bill by preheating tank water. See similar questions...

Yes. As long as the minimum depth requirement is maintained for each line. We suggest that a separation be kept between the lines to allow for repair of one without affecting the other. See similar questions...

It should be .There will be low heat output and high energy cost. They may be acceptable in intermittently occupied buildings or as a back up only. There will be a prompt payback of the added cost of any other form of energy. See similar questions...

Most electric water heaters are 40 gallons Imperial (50 US), the suggested size for families of from two to five members. We generally replace them with 33 gallon (40 US) heaters, because gas units have a much faster recovery rate. Approximately one in ten families need more hot water than others, so for about $150 more we install a 40 gallon (50 US) unit. See similar questions...

AC inverters have built in voltage input protection that allows for safe operation of your AC powered item. Let's say you are trying to run a 12Volt TV That comes with an AC adapter. You would have two ways you could power that TV with your DC pedal power bike generator. First you could hook up your pedal power bicycle generator directly to your 12V Television TV. The problem is that your TV might blow up in smoke if you provide it with 10 Volts or 14 volts. See similar questions...

One of the greatest economic impacts and dangers posed by RIFA results from short circuits and fires in electrical systems after fire ants move into circuit breakers, relays, motors, and other electrical devices. Why the ants are drawn to them is still something of a mystery, but researchers at Texas Tech are close to providing some methods for protecting electrical systems from these problem ants. See their web site at http://www.ttu.edu/agriculturaltechnologytransfer/rifa2/index.htm See similar questions...

The biggest problem with hot water is the sloughing off of chemicals/compounds which had been adsorbed. The heat causes the carbon pores to open up. which could result in lead or chemicals being released into the water. And, the carbon would not effectively reduce contaminants in the water. Hot water is usually under 212 degrees, and that isn't hot enough to alter the raw materials, so there wouldn't be any damage to the filter itself. See similar questions...
