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.

    Oh yes the water is mains' fed as it supplies the kitchen cold tap first. It is potable water.

    You can get potable water from a tank (cistern) - originally it was covered by "Bylaw 30" of the water regs - basically it demands a bit of thermal insulation to keep the water cool, a lid and a few fly-screens over vent and overflow holes to prevent insects getting in. I'm sure the regulation has been renumbered by now, but the parts to convert a cistern are still often sold as "Bylaw 30 kits".

     During the winter with the tank on the flat roof outside it may freeze.
