The system still has a few bugs, so is constantly getting tweeked, we use it about 5 days out of seven, it runs for about 6 hours to heat the 400 +/- gallons of cold water to about 104 deg F. straight out of the faucet. Then next day it takes about 1.5 or 2 hrs to re-warm the water using a recirculating pump, temp gain of about 10 deg F per hour. We use almost no chemicals in the water, so we dump and use fresh after about 4 to 6 days. We find an evening soak to be good for my arthritis/sciatica, and a nice peaceful time to relax and sort out the day, and plan tomorrows work.
Thanks for your interest.
Tony.
