    Will low water flow affect the function of an electric tankless water heater?

    I have a cabin about 300' from my well and about 30' elevated from the well. The water heater doesn't work properly. The flow is low through the tankless electric water heater. Is it necessary to increase the flow? If so, how am I able to do that?

    Electric shower from cold water tank

    Could anybody advise me whether an electric shower can be installed from the rising cold water main that feeds a cold water storage tank. Or if it can be installed from the tank on a shower pump. Or if you'd avoid fitting an electric shower on a cold water storage tank water system. Many thanks.

    Long delay with DHW is an electric boost an option?

    I don't want to have just electric heated water, when using a lot it makes sense to take it from the 30 gallon hot water tank, however in the kitchen the amount of water I need to run is silly, so I looked at an under sink heater with idea of feeding it with hot water so I can select if heated...
