Hi, client having issues running three electic showers from a mains supply (for obvious reasons)...

Wondering if anyone had any success running multiple pumped electric showers from a large loft tank?

Plan would be have a 22 pipe out of the tank split into into three 15 mill pipes to feed the showers.

There would be no other pull on the tank.

Does anyone forsee any major issue with this plan? Dont want to install it all and there be a porblem with the supply getting to the showers or anything.

Cheers

Its a little block in a campsite, so sometimes all three run run for a while but a lot of the time compeltly dormant. So basiclaly just ahve cover my back that if al three are run extensivly on busy mornings there is enough time for the tank to refil a bit betwen uses. Sort of thinking that byth etime people get changed after a shower its a good 3/4 minutes of refilling time. Becaue of the refiling tank all the time think keeping an electic one on the same supply would be pointless as probably struggle all the time with the tank ticking over.
