Cold mains priority is only ever practised when you have a 22mm cold main With 15mm I only ever take the outside tap off directly after the stopcock. You think the builder will admit he’s wrong and listen too me ; a non plumber !! ? Let him try ; maybe fail ; then a tank .

Pocster Posted January 3, 2019 Author Posted January 3, 2019 Right! My builder tried using the the shower as the first device in the cold water main and (you won't be surprised) it didn't make enough difference. So!; can I have a tank recommended for this. It's only feeding 1 electric shower so I *guess* should be able to supply 2 successive showers i.e. enough water for 2 people to shower independently. I know he thinks it will fit in the loft area (I have a loft room) - also the access hatch to the eves is very small. But anyway!; please links to a suitable tank. The builder has asked me to show him the product - then if it fails it's my fault ?
Pocster Posted January 3, 2019 Author Posted January 3, 2019 This the type of thing? https://pumpexpress.co.uk/shop/pressurewave-series-24-litre-inline-pressure-vessel/ I *assume* you only get half the volume due to the diaphram . So what size should I look for?
PeterW Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Nah if you want an accumulator you are looking at 150-250 litres and £4-500... Other option is a 25 gallon coffin tank in the attic - which floor is the shower on ..?

Shower is 1st floor Spoke to pump express they suggested a "power tank" - tank with a pump ; 1.3k!!!! plus I need to know my flow rate etc.!!

If it's only 25 litres it will drain fast then 'underflow' on electric shower again..... Guy on phone suggested an electric shower consumes approx 10 litres a minute. So for 2 consecutive showers (being pessimistic of course) 200 litres.
Pocster Posted January 3, 2019 Author Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Argh!; knew this issue would come back to bite me. Might a *simpler* solution be to ditch the electric shower and just have it as a mixer running off the UVC same as the others? (UVC will struggle with 5 showers simultaneously - but I guess that's expected and acceptable ......) Edited January 3, 2019 by pocster
Pocster Posted January 3, 2019 Author Posted January 3, 2019 Or swapping the electric shower for a gravity fed one ?
