I was confused after British Gas came round and am afraid I am still confused. I visited a local house and the owner showed me that all four bedrooms had their own shower room. If they have the same local water pressure as me how can they make this work? We only have one shower but were thinking about fitting another. However the problems and advice we have had with the first one have made us assume that it can't be done. Maybe the house we saw has electric showers throughout??
It is possible that despite the fact that your area has good water pressure, your supply pipe is too narrow to carry enough quantity of water, so you could replace your supply pipe, but if this is not possible or desirable, we could ensure that your house has enough water stored to cover peak usage times and replenish through the day... Electric showers as you have noted have quite a low water output, but if your water supply is limited, then even electric showers will be starved of water if left to be supplied by the incoming supply..
When I bought my own house it was supplied by a small lead pipe which I shared with my next door neighbour.. when he flushed his loo my cold tap simply dribbled, yet there is very good water pressure in my area.. Since my house was a basket case, I replaced the supply and now I have limitless water.. My neighbour didn't want to replace his supply and so we fitted a large storage tank in his loft and pump both the hot and cold suppy to his taps
