[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 522234, member: 250"] What are the current methods for providing hot water? there must be some basic sanitation facilities for hand washing etc? If there is NO stored hot water and you are looking for some form of instantaneous hot water.. personally I think you would be, (as the phrase goes), pi55ing in the wind trying to get reliable hot water with an element 3Kw or below.. Sounds to me that you need more like a typical electric shower type unit with a minimum 7Kw or higher.. Which would also be needing a dedicated circuit.. BUT as Fleeting also points out.. although DIY electrical work is permitted in the UK.. Any electrical work in a workplace is not within in the scope of DIY.. as Health & Safety at work.. Electricity at Work and other such legal statutory obligations will apply.. [/QUOTE]
