Default Running power shower pump off normal HW cistern?

We did the exact same thing- but the header tank emptied too quickly, as
other posters have suggested. The water pressure is good, so I got a second
ball valve and plumbed that in in parallel, so now two feeds to the tank,
and it keeps up nicely.


How well does the hot water cylinder cope with the demand?

Or alternatively fit a much larger coffin tank, if you have the room. I
designed our DHW system for a shower pump and although it's taken me a
few years to get around to fitting one, it was an absolutely essential
fit. The mild "drip, drip" that the English seem to think is acceptable
for a shower *really* irritates me.


Any worries about the increased load on the ceiling?
