Hi all,
I wanted to query if this is normal behaviour.
My Ecodan Hot Water is set up to to heat to 50c kicking back in only after a 10c drop. I am looking to try and see if I can get the most out of my cheap EV charging rate (2-5am) and heat the water for the day using this timeframe.
One thing that that I have noticed however is that even after a short 5-7 minute shower I see huge temperature drops from the tank (45c to 20c).
There are only 2 occupants in the home and we average 2 showers in total daily as well as running dishwasher and washing machine every 2 days.
A.)Is it reasonable to think I can heat the tank once a day in the early morning and have sufficient hot water for the day?
B.) Is it normal to see such large temperature drops in the tank when hot water is in use for short periods? (Or is this just due to the cold water being drawn in to backfill any used water and therefore a poor indicator of true temp levels?)
Thanks for any and all input or thought.
