How Many 10kw Showers?

[ED17]

Let us know how you get on.

Had the meeting. The other contractor had "assumed" an incoming 100a supply and said that as all 3 showers were unlikely to be used at once it'd be ok!

Builder said he'd prefer electric showers because if they run them off the combi and they used two showers at the same time then the temperature will drop. Told him that if they use two 10kw showers at the same time on a 60a fuse then the place will end up in darkness!

Common sense seems to have prevailed and we got the job.

Good news then mate. You could still have a cylinder off the combi acting as a buffer so two showers could be run and the third being electric.

That's what they're going to do. Just finished a 22 bedroom home on the same site and that's what they installed there. I think the builder just thought he could save some money on plumbing.

I'll put my shower circuit prices up so he doesn't consider it on the next one.
