3kw shower!

[Deleted member 9648]

Clutching at straws here methinks but I promised a client I'd do my best.
Scenario is a stable block being knocked down and rebuilt with the existing supply definately not being replaced. The client has asked if a shower head on a long hose is possible so that horses and dogs can be washed down with lukewarm water.With the other gear being installed the existing supply is only able to manage 3kw for the possible shower. Hot tanks and immersion heaters and other options have already been suggested and binned on cost grounds,which really only leaves the idea of a mains water electric shower with an extra long hose of max rating 3kw.
Anyone know of such a thing?

Depending on how often/long it would be used, could you not use a small over sink water heater?

What about one of these, probably could find one cheaper than this also.

Have you looked at an LPG instant water heater? I'm not sure if a 3kw shower is going to be up to the job of washing down horses.

Maybe,we had thought of using a standard handwash heater,but the spout connection on those are not the threaded connection of a shower hose,but an O ring push in type.Probably the same issue with say a 7ltr oversink unit.

That one could well do it,plumbed to an outside hose connection point.
Cheers mate.

The only thing is the flow rate might not be brilliant.

Cheers for that,but she's already talked about those and said it's not what she wants.

I dont think she wants to wash down the whole thing,just a rinse down of the legs with water thats not stone cold. But yes,flow rate might be a bit feeble even for that by the time it's got round a long hose.

I don't like horses.

Neither do I. Mainly 'cos Mrs 'puller has one and I'm going to spend the rest of my life paying out for the 'kin thing.

I think they all look a bit shifty. In my best president bush

[snowhead]

They can afford new stables and the very expensive costs of keeping horses but they won't pay for a decent hot water source?

Are they also not prepared to pay for the correct backflow prevention for the water supply?

I like cows even less. Unless I'm eating one,then they are ok.

 

[Leesparkykent]

LPG multipoint heater would be the best option.
