    Estimating Peak Hourly Hot Water Demand To estimate your households peak hourly hot water demand, determine

    what time of day (morning or evening) your family is likely to require the greatest amount of hot water. Then calculate the maximum expected hot water demand using the table below.

    Note: This does not provide an estimate of your familys total daily use, only the peak hourly use. Also, the values in this table do not consider water conservation measures, like low-flow showerheads, faucet aerators, frontloading clothes washers, etc.that can reduce hot water use for each activity. Avg. gallons Times used in Gallons used in hot water per hour hour usage Showering Bathing Shaving Washing hands and face Hand dishwashing Automatic dishwashing Preparing food Automatic clothes washing 20 20 2 2 4 10 5 32 X X X X X X X X = = = = = = = =
