Electric Shower Low Water Pressure.

Zoomup

Eccles-on-Sea, or nearly covered by the sea. There exists at Eccles a remote shanty town and many holiday "chalets." The water supply is just about o.k. to allow the use of an electric instantaneous shower at most times. BUT, at high season at peak times of use, the water pressure drops very low and the showers will not work due to low water pressure. Apart from building a high water tower at each chalet, what is an economical practical solution to the problem per chalet? Some are let out and guests like to shower regularly and not have to wait until night time. Some chalets have flat rooves and no "loft" space for a tank.

    Electric showers with a built in pump are available and probably the simple solution. Not certain if they are "allowed" or not, but widely sold by reputable suppliers. Can be supplied from a low level storage cistern, the cistern has to be above the shower heater and pump unit, but the spray outlet can be above the cistern.

    We have this set up at our sailing club. With a mains fed storage in the loft and 6 pumped Triton showers to the ladies and gents. Works just fine.
