Strange Project - Event Hot Water

[chris watkins]

What about survival in the field? Wash and shave in cold water etc. It won't kill you it will make you stronger .

Shaving in the field might be a bit tough on them half are girls & all are under 12's

28,000 Litres Craig, that should keep them going, doubles as a swimming pool as well!!

Haha, id love to know what event that's for, it only stays hot for 24 hours, that's some hot water usage.

Option 1 was intended for op though

Have you tried this company?
Hot Water Supply, Suppliers of Hot Water, Hot Water for Events and Camp Sites,

Great link!

I just love companies like that one. Outfits that specialise in a relatively narrow area that you need to call once in a lifetime and a seemingly impossible problem is solved at a stroke. I'm not expecting to need 35 cubic meters of hot water delivered anytime soon but it's great to know there's someone to call if I ever do.

I wonder how much they charge? I have an irrational desire to know...

Something like this would be ideal

Dare I suggest you get this organised by a hire company? messing around with a 32A supply with water in a field with the public involved is not advised ............

I would suggest washing hands in cold water then using sanitising gel squirt stuff. Or maybe baby/wonder wipes (rationed!).
For hot water needs, boil up in pans on your camp fire. You’ll soon find this is only needed for the greasiest frying pans etc

I suspect it might be easier to find a site that's more suited to accommodating groups of 100.

What will you do with all the waste water? Say a shower lasts 5 mins. and uses 15L of water/min. That's 75L, you could probably round it up to 100L by the time you've taken into account hand washing etc. For 100 people that's 10m3 of water to dispose of each day.

Running 4 power showers would require a large 3 phase generator, they're not cheap to hire and you need to get it on site. You'd also have a fairly hefty deposit to pay.

Is it even practical to provide 4 showers for 100 people? say you can get someone undressed/showered/dressed in 10 mins that's only 24 users/hour. Most people are going to want to shower at similar times, there's going to be a lot of naffed off people waiting around.
