Hi,
In my house I have 2 shower mixers, one in the bathroom and one in the ensuite. Both showers are connected to the cold and hot water supply. The shower in the ensuite is assisted by an electric power shower motor, but the shower in the bathroom is not (it's just connected to mains cold and gravity fed hot water). The shower in the ensuite is used regularly, 2 or 3 times a day, but the shower in the bathroom is used only rarely, ie, only when I have friends or family staying over. The two showers are very rarely used at the same time, if ever, even if I have people staying over.
As the flow rate of the shower in the bathroom is a bit pitiful compared to the other one, I wondered if I could boost it by connecting it to the same power shower motor as the ensuite.
I assume that if I wanted to carry out this plan, I would have to branch off from the output pipes of the power motor and feed the shower in the bathroom. Of course I would also have to disconnect the original hot and cold supply to the bathroom shower.
The power shower motor is in the airing cupboard next to the hot water cylinder. There is not really enough room to site another power shower motor in there.
Does anybody have any opinions/advice about this plan? Does it sound feasible, or laughable? Any potential pitfalls or other problems?
Thanks
