2 Power Showers in the one house.

[PadraigL]

At the moment I have a mixer shower in the en suite. I am planning to add a pump to increase the water pressure.

I am also planning to add a shower to the bathroom. I have contemplated an electric shower but they do not supply the water pressure of a power shower. My question is;
To install a power shower such as a Mira Event in the bathroom, can I tee the hot and cold pipes on the inlets to the pump? Or do I have to install a new hot and cold feed to the bathroom.

Follow the mi's and you should be ok.

Thanks Taydo.

But, I was wondering if the 2 showers were being used, allowing for enough hot water, would the pipe work need to be seperate.

99.9% of the time they will not be used together so I don't see any problems with the tee'sbefore the pump.

Any pump whether integral to a box on the wall or not, should have the hot to come straight from a flange on the HW cylinder, and the cold from a dedicated pipe from the loft CW cistern. Otherwise they can suck air into a tap when it's opened.

You often see things done incorrectly, with shortcomings lived with. Or, if you're lucky you get away with it.
