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.

    In my teens and twenties I lived in my parents house that was supplied from a water tower, basically the same set up.

    we had oversized water storage tanks in the roof and generally everything worked at our house, however neighbours complained so the eater board had a fiddle and upped the pressure.

    As general builders we were going around replacing ball valves and installing hammer arrestors because of the issues caused by the higher pressure.

    Eventually the water board dug a trench and linked two radial mains together to create a ring thus increasing the flow, then they reduced the pressure again.
