    I am doing some work on the plumbing system and I was wondering if I had three showers would I need a seperate cold water tank for the showers. One will be t 90 and others. will be power showers. I was reading that power showers use a lot of water. I will be putting in a 250 litre hot water cylinder. Will the system be able to cope if two showers were being used at the same time?

    If your mains pressure is good enough to fill the tank as fast as you're using the water then I see no cause for concern.

    A power shower can use 25 litres a minute, depending on the make etc so I think the HW will run out first.

    60 Gallons = 270 ltrs however its usually a 3/1 ratio of cold to hot so thats 20 gallons of hot or 90 ltrs
