We would like to ask owners of property at Al Andulus Thalassa their opinion of the efficiency and use of the hot water heaters in the property development.
We live permanently in block 25. The water heater as in all the units is 75 litre capacity. It's electrical rating is 1200 watts. This means that for example in a 6 bed duplex unit a hot shower lasts for about 4 minutes and then starts to go cold. We have yet to time how long it takes for the heater to reheat so the next person can have a hot shower. In the summer this may not be so important but in the winter the air temperature gets quite cold especially in the morning and a hot shower is a necessity.
I worked for Key Mare for 6 months during 2007 and brought this to their attention. They dismissed the potential problem out of hand to me personally and we believe they did have a metting to discuss the problem!!! The rating of the water heaters is very low. A kettle UK style for example is 3kw as are electric water heaters, which gives them a faster reheat time. We will post reheat time within the next few days, but would like to hear from other owners to gauge opinion.
Thanks
Jack and Carol Houseman
