Shower System
#1
Is it possible on catchment to have a shower system installed? 2 showerheads, maybe a couple body sprays?

If you size your pump and pressure tank accordingly, it should be possible (I haven't seen it personally though). Talk to a good plumber about it. I recommend Will's Plumbing (he's in the phone book). He's done great work for me and will guide you right.

I'll agree with John - pump and pressure. If building new, you might want to size your piping accordingly. Consider that if on a catchment tank of suitable size and in an area of adequate rain, one would not have to use the water saver heads or even be concerned with other water restricting measures. Any rain water used gets recycled back into the system - what a balance. Smile

Heck, my master bath has three shower heads and a big soaking tub and we can run all at once, no problem. You are welcome to contact me and see what our setup looks like...

Pam that is good news, send a picture!! I'm still on the mainland, planning from here sure sucks!
How big of a pump and pressure system do you have? Do you have flash heating? UV filter?

I know, cindy stop with the questions!

Can't help it.

We have multiple shower heads (5) as well as a huge tub with two three quarter inch inlets. However, our limiting factor is how much hot water we can get since our water heater is a Paloma "on demand" type of water heater. It is a fairly large sized one, but we can pour the water out faster than it can heat it. I might eventually install a solar water heater with a storage tank to preheat the water so we can get more volume of hot water. If we just want to fill the tub with cold water or shower with cold water then everything works great.
