Hey all,
Currently I am deployed to Iraq and my unit is split up between many smaller bases. These bases all have their own shower trailers with 10-20 nozzles a peice. However, the water heaters they have just can’t support the frequency of use. I need information on a good fit for a real heavy-duty water heater so I can get these guys some good hot water for consistent showers. Anyone have any stats/specs on one? Or a link to a website? Any help you can give would be appreciated as hot showers at the end of the day here is something that can’t even be described.
Oh. My power souce will have to be electricity, and 220v at that.
I can procure many things locally. Currently these heater would be running off of large standing tanks (2000+ gallon) and straight into the trailers. I’d need the exact specifications on these tankless heaters, as I’m completely unfamiliar with any of this stuff and the Iraqi market has lots of sub-par variations on almost anything you can think of. Space consumed is also a concern, would these take up much room?

The UK has showers that heat the water instantly so require no tank and, of course, have no restriction on how much or little you use it. They are heavy on power though (anything up to about 10kw) so you are going to need your own substation to power many of these but you could maybe buy a few and reduce the demand on the others. I’m sure the same must be available in the middle east.

Space is no concern. What you see in the picture is it. And they are 220v.
Other than that, you need more tanks and more immersion heaters.
Propane has a nice option of instant water heaters if you can get it.
what would you use for a heat source?
Electricity? gasoline?
Lots of choices. Tankless heaters may be best as the large water tank is eliminated. You would need one for each nozzle or two. Those are pretty common and I’d hesitate getting them from the states. Is it possible to get them locally?
