No-one is allowed to flush the toilet when anyone is in the shower as the result is instantaneous!!! Fi has moved in!!

No-one is allowed to flush the toilet when anyone is in the shower as the result is instantaneous!!! Ahhh, same as with our place Absolutelly hate it! Re: All I want is constant temperature while having a shower!!! 7Apr 25, 2009 7:09 pm I believe that the rating (litres per min) of the instantaneous gas hot water system also plays a part (eg both showers been used at the same time). Thus, I upgraded to 26L/min.

It's very annoying especially when you tell the kids not to flush while your in the shower and they still do. Sorry Mum it was an accident. Yeah right that's punishment for yelling at them. Re: All I want is constant temperature while having a shower!!! 12Apr 28, 2009 1:58 am We had the same thing where we are living here in Canada. We are in a basement suite and when the landlords living upstairs used their water our shower would go freezing or very hot (actually once did burn my wife a little bit) The landlord swapped our faucet in the shower around to a mixer type one that through some fancy plumbing (no electrics?) keeps the pressure up if it detects a fall - is guaranteed to never vary by more than a degree. We've had no problems since then! I know over here you can also get manifold type systems for your plumbing (similar to an electrical switchboard) that do a similar pressure thing but with all the taps from a central location. Here's a couple of examples of what I mean: http://www.houseneeds.com/shop/plumbing/pexplumbing/vanguard/pexmanifoldsbuypage.htm http://www.hgtvpro.com/hpro/bp_mechanical/article/0,,HPRO_20151_4538091,00.html Not sure what's available in Australia in this regard but when we build when we get back will definitely be getting the builder to make sure that we will not have this problem! After 2 false starts, a year living overseas, two more world trips and 3 years of uncertainty we are now starting the build process again - hopefully for real this time!

Re: All I want is constant temperature while having a shower!!! 16Apr 30, 2009 10:05 am Easy solution to the loo flushing problem in our (rented) place - we reduced the flow rate into the cistern until the temperature in the shower was fairly constant. I just wonder if buildings still have taps for each cistern? The slight drawback is if you need to flush twice, you have to wait longer. We also have asked for the faster flow rate water heater in our new house, hoping this will reduce the problem of two showers not being able to be used at the same time somewhat.
