2 eletric showers, same feed

soccercrew

Im installing a new eletric shower in my bathroom and want to know can i take it off the mains feed if theres already one connected to it. i know i can tap into my tank(drill a new hole and add a pipe) in attic but wondering if its possible to connect to the mains fed pipe thats connected to the tank instead of draining tank and making new hole etc... Itl be a mira 9k shower and other shower in the house is same i think and its defiantly connected to the mains already.

You will need to check if your shower is mains fed or tank fed.

You will need a priority switch if you're using 2 electric showers as the potential electrical load would be too high and likely be dangerous.
a Mira Electric shower takes around 45 amps x2 = 90 Amps and the normal house max load is 63 Amps.
Soo just be Careful that the 2 re never in use at the same time.

Yes i know this, the guy selling them informed me of this. Is it still possible thou to tee of twice of the mains for 2 showers?

Of course. On the same understanding that you won't be able to use them at the same time...

If you want to have 2 showers on the go at a time, there are other options to consider
