Heating water issue any advice please?

Hi all

Wonder if anyone can help please

I have a two bedroom flat (split level) My issue is over heating water for bath use.

At the moment I have a tank on E7 and there are three of us.
So say two of us bath in the morning, light use of hot water in the daytime, by evening there is no hot water say for three baths

There is only one bath, one bathroom sink and one kitchen sink

Is there an "instant" hot water solution rather than a tank? or other solution other than not having so many baths :)

    Yes its an electric shower.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
  • With a child and two adults a bath is required. We have electric heating so hope someone has a better solution for our water requirements :)

    Use the boost feature on your immersion heater for an hour or so during the day, and make sure the tank is well lagged.

    Or install a larger tank/immersion. No other solution really.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • Inadequate storage storage storage of the cheap stuff, 50's to 300's.

    The fact of the matter is I've only ever been able to get two good full baths from a charge, and in truth never expected anything else. macman & penrhyn have it .. .. full price immersion or fit a bigger storage of the cheap stuff if you are a bath family.
