HOT WATER SYSTEMS
How much does it cost to heat water in your hotel?
Water heating constitutes of more than 60% of your monthly electricity bills. Because of the country’s high electricity tariffs which are amongst the highest in the world – (US $ 0.14 per KWH by 2005). More and more people are looking for other cheaper and more efficient alternatives of heating water.
If you are in the hotel industry, running a boarding institution, or in your own residential house, you must brace yourself for frequent power shortages, and the fact that the cost electricity in this country will not get any better. It is necessary therefore to invest on a hot water system which is both reliable and sustainable. Before you pay your next bill, pause a little and ask yourself, for how long will your business sustain these high electricity bills. Botto-Solar has the solutions for you. Infact talking to us is long overdue.
Hot Water for Institutions
Hot water showers in schools, colleges, universities, private academies etc is no longer a luxury. Constant cold water bathing and especially in Primary Boarding Schools with small children is doubtless a receipe for constant upper respiratory ailments, sometimes leading to cases of acute pneumonia. Many water borne diseases such as typhoid can be eliminated by having boiled water cooled for safe drinking.
Reducing Electricity Bills
In an effort to reduce electricity bills many people have tried instant electric showers. The minimum consumption of each instant shower is 3000 watts per hour. A hotel with 30 self contained rooms would consume (3000w x 30) i.e. 90,000 watts per hour. If hot showers are taken twice daily, power consumption also doubles.
Disadvantages of Instant Shower Units
- High electricity consumption creating power surges especially in hotels and schools where many showers may be operated at the same time.
- Constant replacement of blown out elements highly increasing the cost of maintenance.
- Poor regulation of cold and hot water temperatures
- Risk of hot water flowing out charged with electric current especially where proper earthing has not been observed.
The above draw backs on instant shower units makes them very temporal, unreliable and expensive to maintain.
