I built a huge porn shower i plan on being a steam sauna with seats in our master bath. I would like hot water for the shower heads to last as long as i can get it. Battling with the main house line and teenage kids in their part would be an issue with one tank. Im not apposed to over the top ideas. Im thinking a heated tank and in line heaters just for our bath . She is getting a washing machine in her walk in closet that will take hot water from this as well but wont be running while the shower is in use. Im all electric but gas isnt out of the ? Ohio winters suck and we plan on spending a good deal of time in this thing so i need it to be over built. Ideas?
Endless hot water wanted in a new shower. How?

I run a whole house electric tankless for my unlimited hot water supply
Tankless on-demand. I’ve got two Rinnai units… one for the house and one for my shop…both are run on propane. Very pleased with both of them so far (knock on wood).
I'm available for consultation on the porn shower features, like determining the height of the bench for the ultimate shower beeeeg.
Floor tile thoughts? Need something not to slick but decent traction but not to rough. A rubber mat of some sort will surely be needed for knee protection....
@Dustinb80 might have some suggestions.
We’re going on 2 years being in this house, and I haven’t flushed them yet. Not sure if/when the previous owner had it done. It’s one of those things in the back of my mind…. I know it needs done, but I just haven’t made it a priority. That being said, I’ve had no issues so far. The one in my shop was installed in 2011. Not sure what year it was installed in the house.
Tankless on demand water heater will be best. You can get electric or gas. You can size it depending on if you want it just for that shower/washing machine or if you want it whole house to replace the existing water heater.
Are you on a well or city water? How is your water pressure. Tankless water heaters need a minimum pressure to kick the heating elements on.

Well. Concerns i read is ground water temp being cold and hard water gumming them up. But sounds like everyone is using them fine around here. one unit for the adult side and one more powerful unit for the rest of the house would be just fine.
