Default higher water flow from well?


wrote in message
ps.com...
The house I just bought and moved into has a fancy 6-head shower setup
in the master bath. But the water pressure seems completely
insufficient to the task of running more than one head at a time... if
I try to run more, they essentially dribble. I presume that the water
pressure and volume throughput from the well is simply too low. Is
there a product that might help? I was thinking of something along the
lines of a holding tank that could be pressurized and provide the
flowrate needed.

Clearly this is something of a lark, since who really needs a
carwash-like setup for people... it is just a matter of having a
useless bunch of showerheads irking me.


I guess it can feel good having the spray all over.

What you really need to know is the volume required to feed them all, the
volume the well pump and pressure tank that you have can produce. There may
be restrictions in the line from small line size, clogged filters etc. I'd
think you can get more than one to run under normal conditions. Check for a
filter first; if so, replace the cartridge.
