Showers

Thanks All

Quite frankly i'm none the wiser. I can't run a thermostatic shower, tried putting the hot water on in the kitchen and the pressure is 'pants' upstairs. As above you are trying to feed hot water to 3 bathrooms and a cloak room on 15mm. No matter what pressure or Kw combi it will not cope.

I am looking at a restricted board which will only allow 2 showers on at a time (I know this is more electrics) or asking UK Power Networks to fit a 3 phase supply but that is going to be expensive.

Any other idea would be gratefully received.

Thanks

I spoke to UK Power Networks to explore the option of a 3 phase supply. Around £20k plus extra's to run the new cable from the main outside which would allow to run the whole of London on my supply!

So it looks like a thermostatic shower is the best option. All the cold water runs from the tank inc 2 bathrooms and cloakroom. The only things that runs off the mains is the kitchen. So in theory that should reduce the 'drag' on the cold mains.

Can anybody recommend a good thermostatic shower that will do the job? I have always had electric, in this house and the old one! Was thinking

If cistern fed I'd go for a power shower, pumped hot and cold.
