I've a customer that wants a whirlpool tub. She has a 50 gallon electric hot water tank and no room for a 2nd tank. I'm thinking that most of these whirlpool tubs are in the 45 to 50 gallon capacity and the general rule of thumb is a hot water tank only delivers 60% of it's capacity in hot water so it'll only produce 30 gallons of hot water before it starts cooling off. Is that correct? What size hot water tanks do people use to supply a 50 gallon whirlpool tub?
Or, do the whirlpool tubs also work as hot water heaters and can bring water temperatures up with an internal heating coil? Thanks, David
