Most homes in Thailand only have one tap for water, as hot water heaters are rare. In fact I have never seen hot running water anywhere in Thailand other than in the better hotels. Showers are taken, dishes and clothes washed all for the most part in cold water. This is possible as the temperature throughout the country averages about 80 degrees year round.
Having no hot water heaters also results in quite a savings in energy. Why have something using energy all day long when you really don’t need it.
But for us faint of heart that require hot showers there is the device as show above for us. There is hot water on demand and it’s continuous as long as your water pressure is not too high. If you have high pressure the water passes though the heating element to fast to become hot. I have just recently become aware of this little bit of knowledge. The cure is just to turn the water down. No problem.
