I have looked through some of the other posts, but I haven’t found an exact answer to my question. We are building new, and the master shower will have a shower head and 4 body sprayers, so about 12 gal/min, and its about 80 feet from the water heater in the garage. Will an 80 gallon electric water heater (we have solar power) be adequate to run that shower, or will it require an on demand heater at the bathroom? What if we went to just 2 body sprayers? (about 7.5 gpm) Also, I have been told I’d want a recirculating line so we get the hot water quicker. Seems like that would just be a big heat-loosing radiator to me. Any thoughts?
